Snippet
The SEALs were also circumspect about death in a way that only
those confronted with it regularly can be.
“I either want to die in combat, doing my job right now, or live till
I’m 98 years old and see my great, great grand kids,” one of
them told me. “I don’t want anything in between. None of us do.
A warrior’s death, you can’t get any higher than that. It’s horrible
for the family, they don’t want to hear that, but for us, the guys
at our command, we’re okay with it. That is our duty, the highest
calling. And if that happens to you, you hope you are in the right
frame of mind that you are okay with it. I have seen a lot of
people go, not well. Had they been able to do another take on it,
they would probably want it to go better. I remember everything
else about Adam also, but I will always remember the end. You
know, your first impression lasts a relationship, and your last
impression is with you forever. Adam died well.”
Scripture
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?
When evil people come to devour me,
when my enemies and foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
Though a mighty army surrounds me,
my heart will not be afraid.
Even if I am attacked,
I will remain confident. Psalms 27:1-3 NLT
Song
Fearless Mark Dowdy
Little boy, head full of dreams
Growing up, always trying to find his wings
Mom and Dad, standing by
Ready to catch him whenever he tried
Life was good, life was sweet
Turn the page, more man than boy
Never thought he’d make that kind of choice His mother’s heart
would break in two
She said...that’s not the boy that I knew
Life was full of regret
But deep inside him, he could not forget
Chorus
Be brave - Stand tall
Believe you’ll get stronger whenever you fall
And each time life brings you pain
Keep faith - Rise up
Above that voice that keeps calling your name in the dark Walk
on, you’re not alone
You can live fearless
Second chance, his hope renewed
Now he’s fighting for the red, white and blue
His wife and kids by his side
He’s a picture of American pride
Life was good, so complete
He said...I’m so glad love never gave up on me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
He left a letter to his children It said I’m not afraid to die
No one can take away my spirit Even if they take my life
Sentence Prayer
Father;
You gave your Son, to give me a righteous path.
You give Your Spirt, to keep me in step
Yea, though I walk through the valley of death
may I always be fearless, because your are my Light and
Salvation. Amen R.M.
