<H1 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">“A Time to Die”</H1>Good times do GROW ease. The stronger wind, the tougher trees, the farther sky, the greater length, the more the storm, the more the strength, by sun and cold timber grows. JOE was a good timber. He lived a good long and blessed life. On Sunday, June 21, 2009 at 2am, God rang those golden bells for Him: He answered the call and went home.
