Good Morning! I know that based on the discussion over the CISCO board a few weeks ago this might get ugly, but I am willing to take that chance. After all, I am in fact a pastor, so this won't be the first time I have been challenged in my faith. I post a morning devotional each day there, for those who would like a few thoughts from a struggling traveller to begin their day. I wasn't on either forum yesterday. Please forgive my absence yesterday. My Dad is suffering from cancer (bladder, brain, and bone) and is in the hospital in Evansville, IN. He is in stage three, and the doctors have told us that time is short. About 4AM Wednesday I got a phone call from Mom, telling me I needed to get there quick. Evansville is about three hours away, so off I went, without laptop.
Dad has once again bounced back, somewhat (he is incredible, and God is amazing), but each time the bounce is a little weaker, and not quite as high. They are moving him to an in-care hospice facility tomorrow. Please keep my parents in your prayers as they negotiate this transition together, and as they come to terms with the ultimate transition, from this life to the next. They have been married for 55 years, and except for the 7 weeks of boot camp, they have never been apart even for one night. That we all should have such an incredible relationship in our lives! Thank you for this opportunity to put this request before this community.Prayer does work, and so I am asking for your support in this time of heartache and confusion. pastor david By the way, Jake, I love your license plate, but mine will read 4UDad. He gave me my love for cars, my love for life, and my love for God, and for that, I can never thank him enough. |

My father-in-law just passed away in July after battling pancreatic cancer for 2 years.
Although it was painful to see my Father-in-law suffer toward the end I found the whole experience a reaffirming religous experience. My Father-in-law and family had 2 years to prepare for death. I saw the family grow closer to God and family. I saw 1000 people sign the guest book at the veiwing. I saw standing room only and 5 priests attend the funeral mass. All this for a simple God loving man whose only care and desire was to do God's will. Although painful, it gave me hope, faith, and a new perspective on life. I hope this helps. Buck |
