The glow of the set sun, the serenity of the flowing water into the marsh, gives many of us a settling in kind of feeling. A place to let your fears and anger go, and let the peace and comfort of faith seep in. I wish this for all of you, friends.

And though I try hard not to be a vindictive person, I definitely feel better knowing OBL is gone, baby, gone.
