“Iranian ballistic missile ...”


I had a friend and a golfing buddy (a few years older than I) — he told me that one day when he was in Viet Nam while sleeping (it was mid morning, he was on night patrol at the time) — he was asleep and then he heard the ‘whistle’ sound of a projectile getting closer...

He woke up (mind you he was 6’ 3” a BIG man) and jumped out of his bunk and covered himself with his mattress against a wall!

The missile/bomb landed just 3’ from the wall he was retreating to...

It was a dud.

He lived his life well from that day forward.

Died of a heart attack at 56.

At least he had a legacy of good children and a nice farm.

One never knows his end date...I am grateful to have known Don Kuipers...

The Lord has given me multiple second chances at life and I don’t deserve it, but He is gracious.
