I took it to heart & on hard days I do the same. Read Eph 6:12-18. Everytime I think of my friend Ray. He was laid to rest today. He was a great man. He did what his God asked of him. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
