[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I love reading the reports you do with the IPA, as you probably already know, you two. But you must do what you must do, as the Lord leads and all, you know. Just as we all do, if we're following Him to the best of our abilities in this life. I mean, we're all only allotted a certain amount of time in this life on this planet, after all. And this world is not going to be our eternal home, either. So we must each prepare for the life after this one, and do what we can to finish THIS life strong and stay on the straight and narrow road Home.

We must each run our own races just like Paul did, while still in our mortal bodies on this planet. Whether our races will lead us Home or not, only time will tell for each of us, no matter who we are in this world, for sure. Paul finished his own race strong, giving his all in the process, and he still awaits his just rewards as his body still sleeps where it does. One day, and probably very soon, I think, he will most certainly receive his just rewards for a well-lived life of faith, as will many others. But that day has not yet come for him and countless others.

Ultimately, the only thing that really will matter in the long run is whether we actually did whatever we needed to do in this life to the best of our respective abilities, in God's eyes, even as imperfect human beings in this world. And whatever we do or have done or will do in the future, we all have an increasingly finite time in it, before we all leave this world behind forever. No matter where we'll each end up for eternity without end, this world certainly will not be our eternal home, for sure.

Do what you must, you two, with your respective leagues and all, as best as you can, according to the Lord's leading, and I shall try to do the same in my own life, then. While I would really like to see either IPA, if not both IPAs, make it to at least one hundred seasons each, that may not be possible here, somehow, considering everything that we're certainly each having to deal with in our respective lives, guys. Time is growing short in this world for many things, and it is quite unlikely that we'll see 2030, or 2035, I think, before all that must happen in the near future does happen as it needs to happen, and all.

So let's do what we can to finish the work that God has given each of us still to do in our respective lives, to the best of our abilities, and trust in Him to keep us safe and protected and all, as He wills. Even if we do fall asleep prior to His return, let's still try our best to do His will in our lives, for as long as we can. His Word says, "He who endures to the end shall be saved," somewhere, I believe.

Thanks again for your time and attention and all here, then, you two. I'll write more later, as the Lord leads and all, if and when I can, you know. CD out.
