I feel fortunate because God blessed me with an older brother who is also a friend, devote Christian, and a Patriot. He left us all too soon. In the two weeks just prior to his passing, Charley and I exchanged over seventy emails. His quick wit and sense of humor always kept me in stitches. I will miss you Brother.
One of my favorite prayers and I believe it is appropriate here is the Prayer of Jabez. In part it reads:
"And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou would bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou would keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! (Jabez prayed that prayer once) And God granted that which he requested."
Likewise, I believe Charley was blessed by the Lord above in this life and will be in the next. Charley leaves behind family and friends that love him and his best pal Chloe. The world is a better place for him having been here.
