My dearest special Marine_Uncle, I so believe, too, but I also believe that our good and merciful Lord, made sure than no power ever exceed that of prayer and that the more voices He hears the better, be they in unison for one person or cause or individually.
God bless and keep you and your precious family. Like you, I try my best to be ready every day, in case it's my last day. I love our Lord and Savior with all my heart and ask His forgiveness more than once daily and thank Him more than once daily for His abundant blessings of which I consider my many cherished FRiendships here, "abundant blessings."
Thank you again, dearest Marine_Uncle. Joyous days await!!!
