Keoni Galt wrote yesterday about repetition. About writing a post and then deleting it, because it has been said before.

I think my Father is being spared by the LORD almighty. His mother was dead at my age from cardiac difficulties, and he had his first heart attack around the same age. Thirty years later and a multiple health issues later, he is a rock of the faith. And he coordinates for Exodus ministries, working
