I pray that I never discover if I would run towards, or away from, the sound of the guns. Being a civilian, my duty in that regard is quite limited. But I wish that epiphany on no one.

I never believed in spell casting but After 4 years of marriage my husband left me because I lost my womb, and i was unable to give birth to children. I felt like my life has come to an end, and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time, but thanks to this spell caster called Dr joy whom i met online after my friend Becky Ross told me how he also helped her to bring back her husband in less than 2 days. I believed her and decided to give Dr joy a try and i contacted him on his email joylovespell@gmail.com. and explained my problems to him. He laughed and told me that In less than 2 days, my Husband will come back to me again, and that he will restore my womb and i will give birth to children. At first i thought it was a joke but i took courage and believed as Dr joy has said and it did happen just as this Great spell caster said, My husband called me and was crying, begging for forgiveness. I forgive him and today i am so glad that all worries and problems has gone away, and we are even happier than before, another good news is that i am pregnant now, and very soon we will have our baby. Dr joy is really a gifted and a powerful spiritual man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. I advice you all If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems just Contact Dr joy on his email on joylovespell@gmail.com. because he will always help you to solve all problems. Once again thank you Dr joy.

Simply put you contracted to some form of governmental entity to protect the public encompassed within the confines of that entity up to the lying of ones life on the line. For this you were paid (sort of) given benefits for you and yours and in the event of your paying the ultimate price your family was taken care of in your absense. I am not advocating a reckless sprint into danger but if you ask the question " can I save lives by my actions?" and the answer is, yes, and " will someone die if I do not act NOW?" and again the answer is yes, then sprint on good person, sprint on. Today it seems we care more about law suites, higher workers compensation costs and keeping out of the line of fire than keeping up our part of the ultimate contract.Old Ramnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-84339891541002686132018-03-29T22:52:17.315-05:002018-03-29T22:52:17.315-05:00How better can a man then die, than facing fearful...How better can a man then die, than facing fearful odds...<br />http://www.bartleby.com/360/7/158.htmlrichard mcenroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659450906647134430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-63042486122119855952018-03-21T18:12:22.496-05:002018-03-21T18:12:22.496-05:00"With your shield or on it""With your shield or on it"Davidhttp://nocarmommy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-37670774253370324632018-03-21T17:16:30.298-05:002018-03-21T17:16:30.298-05:00AmenAmenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697173636167216585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-42713266213039927502018-03-21T11:35:45.817-05:002018-03-21T11:35:45.817-05:00I should have died thrice in the service of my cou...I should have died thrice in the service of my country.

I won't succeed, in all probability. I'm a slew foot; one of the naturally awkward. Which is why I don't own a gun (or a power saw). But I do get angry. And if I get angry enough, all gets are off. The bullying I was subjected to in grade school pretty much ended when I picked up my main tormenter by the neck, banged his head on a wall, and told him that if he didn't leave me alone I would kill him. He believed me. I believed me. <br /><br />So I pray, Dear Lord if the day has to come, let there be a fire extinguisher in line of sight. Or a 2x4. Or a mop.

That doesn't seem to be my destiny, but, as you say, anyone can choose to die well. I sincerely hope that when the time does come for me to go down in history that I go down in a worthy manner. Since death is part of life, it follows that to die well, one must live well to some extent.Tyrfinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494958875872689533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-70867709992802125682018-03-11T23:40:57.275-05:002018-03-11T23:40:57.275-05:00No scars upon his back.No scars upon his back.Storytellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12040646525575089925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-65981820674920260292018-03-11T22:46:30.166-05:002018-03-11T22:46:30.166-05:00I'm reminded of the Roman Centurion who was fo...I'm reminded of the Roman Centurion who was found in a cave near Pompeii.

Rather, they were about helping them to live as well as they could until the moment the inevitable occurred. It not only helped them, but those they left behind. <br />As I read the Dog's post, I found myself substituting "living" for "dying" in some portions of what he wrote for that reason. If you do so, perhaps you will appreciate his meaning more.<br />Or, I am projecting. In which case, never mind.Krisnoreply@blogger.com
