Dear God, I'm thinking of another great time coming, and that will be the resurrection,
when the old-timers will come forth first, saints, the patriarchs. "For we which are alive and remain
shall not prevent or hinder those which are asleep; for the trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first." " Then when we see that great... just those people going, marching up through the skies; and we'll be standing, waiting for our change, knowing that we'll fall in line, also. God, make us faithful soldiers.
Only those who have really associated and been in the war would know what that really meant, to see
those tanks rolling by. And, God, we think that those who have been in the battle of life will know what it means,
when we're waiting our turn to fall in position and place, in the resurrection, to go up.
