Death's Dark Veil

January 15, 2006 B. John 281 Views

Martin Toler, Jr. probably knew his life coming to an end. Mr. Toler was trapped in the Sago Mine some two miles beneath the surface of the earth. Most likely, he knew others around him had already died. In his final hours, his thoughts turned to those closest to him, and Toler took the precious little energy he had left, and scribbled a note to his loved ones: ?Tell all ? I [will] see them on the other side?? ?It wasn?t bad, I just went to sleep.? And at the bottom: ?I love you.? Toler touched not only reached out to his family, but his message touched many of us.

My Review of 2005 and My Prayer for 2006

December 30, 2005September 29, 2018 B. John 302 Views
