Good Evening FRiends...

Coming up on 10:00 pm EDT.

Thank you again everyone, for the support and the prayers and encouragement, you are all demonstrating that the power of prayer IS the most powerful implement we have in the spiritual tool belt, and you are all appreciated so much.

Today Dad was a little more lucid although he had a 'theme' to his conversation which was to tell us to be sure and take care of Mom, he seems to tolerate only short visits and then he becomes insistent that we should all go, so we naturally honor that request and give him some time. Mom is doing ok, and I know she is finding new strength, in no small part from your lifting our family up in prayer.

A minister friend of my Uncle came by and talked with Dad, prayed with him, and generally had a good visit. I have the sense that Dad is perceiving things more in the spiritual realm, and of course that can mean any number of things.

I remain hopeful for a dramatic and miraculous recovery, because if I have learned anything in my brief life (I'm past the half century mark now), it is that God truly loves what I call the 'photo-finish', right when everything appears to be hopeless, looks like all is lost, no chance, time to give up, and suddenly like a thunderbolt from out of nowhere, God demonstrates His Power, which requires no effort at all on His part, and I believe that if it is within His Will, that Dad will ultimately rise up from what is surely his deathbed right now, and walk out under his own power.

Either way, Dad is going to be healed. Because even if the above described miracle that I wish for doesn't come to pass, Dad will then be healed from the ravages of time and disease, and in that Moment, he will be ushered into Eternity by our Lord and Saviour, where our loved ones await for us all.

I thank you again, and I pray for God's Blessings upon you all.

Goodnight my FRiends.
