I saw where he announced on the nettle awhile back that he had started guiding. When I saw how he kept his composure when the bozo over there was ranting about trollers, I knew he'd do well, and I was very happy for him.

I like to remember that ours is a good God: He allows us to have memories. What in this WORLD is more precious than memories? There would be no rush of adrenaline motoring out from the ramp; because there would be no memory of the day that burned that thrill into our minds.

What would life be like without memories? Fleeting-even more so than it already is. We have our memories, and, in life, that is all we will really have. In death, we will remember no more; we will always be.

I am praying for you all. Even the folks here who knew him. It sounds like he was loved. Remember him, because that's what we were designed to do. It is a good and right and perfect thing to do, and all good and perfect things are from Above and all good and perfect things- things worth giving thanks for- we should dwell on those things.
