They’re Gone, But We Carry On
Yesterday morning I awakened to learn my dear friend, Herman Cain, whose love for and service to America were unimpeachable, had passed away. Less than an hour later I received a call from a friend in Montana, who wanted to make sure that I knew Lloyd Marcus, another long time friend and colleague had just passed away.
Suffice it to say; yesterday didn’t begin as I had envisioned it would when I had gone to bed a couple hours prior.
Two men, two warriors who fiercely loved God, their families, and this great country had been called home. They, as the expression goes, passed with their boots on. They were warriors to the very end. They were as tireless as they were fearless. They were unyielding in the fight for the America we love.
It was my honor have called them friends. It was even more of an honor to have served in the battle for our country and our way of life with them both. It is my duty to carry on in their absence.
I look forward to seeing them again, when my chapter in God’s work on earth is done.
1 Trials dark on ev’ry hand, 
and we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
to that blessed Promised Land;
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
and we’ll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by.
Chorus:
By and by, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God are gathered home,
We will tell the story how we’ve overcome;
We will understand it better by and by.
