Thank you, Sondra, means a lot. Losing a bit of blood at the moment, keeping the faith, going to run an iv blood expander. Don’t have phone, got to stay online, just in case.

Tozer’s brill.

Yeah, good that JC still had scars.

Sorry this is disjointed. Hurting a bit. Good to go.

I think I hear your faith in your line about lifting your eyes up to God. Have read AW Tozer? He says faith is the eyes of the heart directed at God. Whatever semantics we use what’s important is that we glorify Christ as our savior. Grace through faith alone. And yes, the God who kicked the butt of death might be considered a marine! I’m thankful for you and those like you who sacrifice for us and bear the scars. Interesting that even after Christ rose from the grave he still bore the scars. Some scars never fade.

I’m too tired, and hurt too much, to get down to my knees. I won’t kneel to anyone, any more. I’m done, and only a nine to the head will do that, make me take a knee.

I’ll meet God face to face, high-five to high-five. I’ll fistbump His Kid, and slap the Spook on the back.

Got to go to Heaven. I think I’ve scared the Other Side too much, and they don’t want anything to do with me. They say I’m dying, so I’ll be dying loud, and let the demons of fear and hopelessness scream and writhe in horror, because I will NOT break faith.

Maybe I’ve earned it, maybe not. I don’t know any more.

But I’m on my feet, eyes up, and I won’t back down, not to anyone. I just hope God understands.

I figure He’s a Marine. So I figure, yeah.

He gets it.
