Ciscorian Eugene Reece, whose Middle name is After my brother Tony, Served Out his Purpose, with the Shedding of His Blood, and The Ultimate Sacrificial mission. Perhaps Many, many will Always Say This should Not have happened the way that it did, maybe Unbelievers think That...BUT to US who Truly KNOW "THE SON" (Jesus Christ) who came into the world to Shed "THE BLOOD" for Us all, Cory would Never have Left us, IF it was Not his Time.
Witness This, My Mom was shot 7 Times, when I was Only 13 years old, By MY Daddy, from What I was Told was a Fit of Anger & Jealous/Drunken rage, and I will turn 50 on January 2nd in about 3 weeks. Mom recently turned 90, First the doctors told us she would not live, a Week later, when God pulled her through That, Then They told us She would never Walk again, and 2 weeks later She walked, and Has been walking every Since. She is still here, with The Family, with 1 bullet in her left Leg, and 1 bullet in her right Hip, too close to the Spine and the leg Bone, for them to remove back then.
When I drove myself to the Hospital, last year, and my Sugar up over 784-820, ONLY being able to see Shadows, Not Clear Visual Images, Doctors Were Astounded, I was Not in a Diabetic COMA, or that I did Not Crash my Car into someone else. They Fussed at Me A Whole lot for that, But Yet, I spent 1 week in ICU, IT was NOT my time to Go. I never even Knew I was Diabetic, and yet The Doctors say I had been for years, Except the Exercise Burned off a lot of the Calories and Things that My Body's Insulin could not, which Kind of delayed the Critical Onsets, but That Explains those times, when I Vomited a lot, years ago. And I have High Blood pressure, So Now ...Cory's Time was For Such a mission....
I want My Sons, and The Sons and Daughters of ALL of the involved families to Love Know each other, and Let any Anger go,...There are 4 Families with Countless Extended Members affected by this, and many More...THIS "BLOOD" should be NOT shed in Vain, and Must be without Anger, Malice, revenge, None of that Stuff...Those members of the Young Man who did the Evil thing of the Murder, They are Suffering, He is Suffering, and IT was NOT him, but the Demons/Drugs, Greed working using him as the instrument, and GOD had to allow it, or the gun would have Misfired, the bullets would have been simply flesh wounds, and passed right through, without hitting Vital organs, I Know this for sure. Just Look at MOM.
Bless You all, Kiss everyone and Hug them for me.
Thanks so very much for everything,
Sincerely,
Terry "the Warrior" Reece

Touch the Son
(Lovingly dedicated to MY Beloved Sons)
Just step outside, and feel the breeze.
And listen to the wind as it rustles the trees.
Now close your eyes, and breathe the air and hear the birds
sing without much of a care.
Then feel the Sunshine, the brightness upon your face,
and walk on the fresh morning dew of that special place. Now see the sky, so Blue and clear, and hear the season's
Sounds as they tickle your ear. When the rain comes down,
catch the water, so smooth, and at night take a glance at
that beautiful moon.
Count the stars, if you can, but just notice how great the
number. These things are there, whether WE sleep or
slumber, whether we spin or toil, whether we cease or
continue.
The world's great splendor and precision was all a part of
HIS great, HOLY Decision.
So if these things matter to you and to me, ONLY the
FATHER and SON can agree; that this was GOOD!
And the Touch of the SON is within our hearts. And no
matter what may try to pull us apart,
'We've TOUCHED THE SON!'
