I love this particular verse.It reminds me of Jesse, it quotes: the lord is on my side, I will not fear, what can men do unto me. PSALMS 118:6. JESSE HAD A TALK WITH GOD AND HE TOLD GOD HE WAS READY. HE WAS PREPARED AND MADE PROPER PREPARATIONS TO MEET HIS FATHER IN HEAVE. I PRAY I HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH GOD BEFORE I EXIT THIS WORLD. TO MY ADOPTED UNCLE, MAY HE REST IN PEACE. WE ALL LOVE JESSE HERE IN CO-OP CITY, BRONX, NEW YORK. HE WAS OUR FAMILY...
