"God sent neither a philosopher or a general, but a savior with the power to forgive." Quote _Unknown I was sad to hear of a friends death it was so unexpected I assumed that they would always be like a lighthouse guiding so, I felt it was time for a dead reckoning to lay bear my heart and flaws admit that I am adrift and need to find my way out of this labyrinthine called life oh, the time of reckoning will soon arrive and my life assessed perhaps tomorrow or in time and what will God say . . . at my friends funeral I had an epiphany I felt like a ship tossed on the sea in a storm and my only chance for eternal life was adead reckoning of my unworthiness God, there are scars on the road map of my life and it is weather-stained, I say but, I see the sun rise life a jewel above each day a gift from you to me, thank you and I pray that with my final judgement . . . . I will be lifted up with you
