God knows The Time For My Death

A battlefield is a deadly place, even for generals; and it would be naive to suppose Stonewall Jackson never felt any fear but invariably he displayed extraordinary calm under fire, a calm too deep to be mere pretense. His apparent obliviousness to danger attracted notice, and after the First Manassas battle someone asked him how he managed it. “My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed,” Jackson explained, “God knows the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter where it may overtake me.” He added pointedly, “That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.” (Source Unknown)
