O Allah, conceal my faults, calm my fears, and protect me
from before me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me, and
I seek refuge in You from being taken unaware from beneath me.” (ibn Mājah
3871.)
To my teammate, classmate, and brother, "BIG" John
Robinson, I will, simply say, you were a "BIG BROTHER," who had a
"BIG PERSONALITY" and a BIG
SENSE OF HUMOR. BUT, an even "BIGGER" HEART.
For, we have come to understand from Matthew (5:8) that
"Blessed are the pure in HEART: for they shall see God."
So, during your spiritual transition, I offer my humble
words and sincere prayers to your wife, children, family, and friends, while
stating: "May our "ancestors" and "angels""
embrace your soul and your name be found in the BOOK OF LIFE. (Rev 20:12); (Rev
3:5)
Amen
