A life in service to Babylon and a heart in rebellion to God would ultimately betray Don. As I collected birthday after birthday, I could no longer avoid life’s reality of loss and suffering. Realizing I cannot stop the marching of time. It will trample the young and the old. Don Young and Don old.

If any person, prophet, priest or preacher tells you that you’re not deserving of God’s love or that God’s grace doesn’t extend to you. They are wrong.
