Prayer Request


And if you don't pray, just think positive thoughts, please.

Dad's going into the hospital today--he has a bunch of things going wrong with his body and it's becoming just too much to handle at home.  He has become so weak that he can't even prop himself up in bed, plus he has a bad infection AND even with a catheter he's not "going".  

I love my dad, but I don't want him to suffer trying to hang on.  The time may be coming when he'll be seeing his beloved Joyce and the good Lord, and he's always been ready for that.

Of course I've got a couple tears running down my cheeks right now, but I always over react and hopefully, if the Lord's willing, Dad will beat this latest round.  He's been so appreciative of the time many of you have taken to write him and if you could just take a second to think about him, it would be just great.

God bless, y'all.

    Oh Chris...I'm praying hard for your dad. Man do I understand the dilemma you're in. Want him there, don't want him to suffer. I'm sending out as many prayers as I can right now.

    I'm praying that God will intervene and either heal your dad or take him HOME. HE knows what's best even if we don't. I feel your heartache.
