    It is about that time, the "EMBER" month, maybe it is that term "ember" that predicates so many deaths at this period! Rest their souls

    This life is actually nothing at all considering the rate at which people are dying these days! Father Lord please keep protecting me and my family and my fellow LIB families too. IJN. I do not wish an untimely death for anyone even my enemies but when it comes, I hope that it would be in a moment and time when we can confidently respond to Rapture. May the souls of the departed RIP IJN! Amen.

    Hmmm this is too bad, in my own view the driver was @ fort. The driver should have wait for the arm robbers, and maybe nothing should have happen to them now. May their souls rest in peace.
