I visited John on Saturday, and he said " I've read the 23rd psalm a million times and now I can't remember it". I said ...yea, though I walk through the vally of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil... John smiled, as he seemed to remember the rest. I will miss John, after having met him only briefly.
