“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
“A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
“A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
“A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
“A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.” -Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Mike Thomas has been a friend to many of the writers at Bearing Drift over the years; in fact, he has been a friend to most of the Virginia Republican Party throughout his years at RPV.
The loss of a loved one is never easy, and tonight he is in our prayers.
We were deeply saddened to learn Wednesday evening that his wife Stacey had passed away. Our sincere condolences go out to the entire Thomas family as they face the sad days ahead.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” -Isaiah 41:10
