Marty’s Not Here Anymore
Wednesday, May 10th, 2006“I went by the field of the lazy man, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, behold, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles were covering its face, and its stone wall was broken down. Then I beheld and considered it well; I looked and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep – So shall your poverty come as a robber, and your want as an armed man.â€Â Â
~ Proverbs 24:30-34 (Amplified Bible)

I used to have a next-door neighbor named Marty. If I had to give a brief description of him, I’d say that he reminds me the character, Ned Flanders, on “Simpsons†TV show. Marty was a really nice guy.
