Thanks so much for stopping by. My hope is that you will be encouraged and comforted by traveling with us on this adventure as you see how God can take the challenges of life to assure us of the living hope that is available by faith to us all through Jesus Christ.

Thanks, also, to each of you who have personally ministered to me and my family through your thoughts, prayers of faith, visits, messages, many acts of kindness and words of encouragement, especially during those dark days, and then for the long haul during my extended recovery season.

Thanksgiving Day

Dear God,
We thank you for Dad and the blessing that he has been in our lives as well as to many others. Thank you that he has shown us Your ways, not just by words but by his actions. Thank you for his gentle spirit, his humble demeanor, and His love for you. We thank you for another day with him. Each day of life is a gift from you.
Amen


We've had a few serious setbacks since yesterday. He was doing so well - just about to be released from ICU. Dad has now been reintubated and is back on the ventilator. Again, he is fighting for his life. His breathing and CO2 levels had reached dangerous levels. The plan for today is that Dad will have a CT scan of his lungs as well as a bronchoscopy. As we know more, we will give updates.

Please continue to pray for God's hand in all this. We know that He is in control, and for that we are thankful on this day of remembrance. Thank you again for your prayers.

Gratefully,
David
