[Samwise]

All humanity is of one Author, and is one volume; when one dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated; God employs several translators; some pieces are translated by age, some by sickness, some by war, some by justice; but God’s hand is in every translation, and his hand shall bind up all our scattered leaves again for that library where every book shall lie open to one another.

-- JOHN DONNE (1572–1631)

Thanks for the John Donne quote for this Marine.

Prayers for Lance Cpl. Joseph McCarthy, his family and his Marine family.

Thanks for the ping Samwise. It always hurts to lose one of our own.
