My dad is taking a much needed rest. One day, and I know that day will be soon, that he will arise at the first resurrection, counted among the redeemed. God fought for my dad down to his last moments. His spirit, or breath, has returned to God and his body has returned to the earth. When he is raised to incorruption, it will indeed be a joyous and glorious day. We will see him again in Heaven and in the new earth. No more pain, poison, or paranoia. I loved him and I will continue to fight the good fight, bearing the name of Jesus Christ as Hamilton Wayne Massey, II. Maranatha.
