Nine....
This morning when I found out a sadness came over me...a friend, a brother had fallen in this battle. As you point out, it reminds us of our vulnerability, and that scares us. Causes us to be more vigilant. And in a weird way that failure fuels our success.
As we near the time that taps is sounded for 3 November 2011, you and I won yet another victory. We fought today against our addiction, and we have been awarded a decisive victory. Congratulations my friend, we live to fight another day.
I will see you tomorrow at roll, Lord willing.
