Brother, your authenticity shines through everything you do. You are exactly where you're supposed to be right now, both literally and spiritually. I'm grateful to be on this journey with you and every other digital soldier.

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness, and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo...and it's worth fighting for.

Keep up the fight, brother. You were never meant to sling lumber or Habitrails.

God bless you and your family.

-John

I remember your first audio broadcast. It was on a Saturday morning when you had some time in a quiet house and were processing your thoughts and you decided to share. It was so well received and timely just as your work is today. Thank you and congratulations !
