Those voices again.
Chattering about my demise
About my inability to take care of
This one little day
But I will rise with power
Above them all and say
This moment is mine.
How dare you take it away?
Meet me at it’s end.
I’ll show you
What I’ve done
With this one little day.
To my God a heart of flame, to my fellow-men a heart of love, to myself a heart of steel.
-Saint Augustine
Two-Minute Tune-Up 
Hi Pam, Just wanted to say thank you for your post and encouraging words. Hope you all are doing good and well into Spring. Also, to ask for your prayers for my surgery next week on March 6. I am having my second Achiles Tendon surgery on my right leg. The first one was from a shrapnel injury, and it did not heal correctly. This one will try to fix it. After the first one, I could not walk for six months but this doctor says that I should be able to walk after just three weeks. Please pray that it goes well, and I heal quickly. This will be my 60-bombing related surgery. Hope you are all well and getting plenty of rest, Love, Stan
