I never go along with the crowd, never have, I am honest, not arrogant and try not to be a fool, I appreciate life and all that God has given me, this opportunity "LIFE", it`s my responsibility to experience as much as I can while here, ETERNITY is a long time and my eternity is sealed, my life here is yet to be determined or fulfilled

A friend of mine was in the Coast Guard (in training) up that way and his ship got the rescue call.... got to the site and saw nothin'. He said it was the worst storm he had been out in.
If it wasn't for Lightfoot, most of us would have never known about the event.
