What a blur…

2 Comments

So, I am sitting here thinking and trying to get ready for our fall retreat for our High School Ministry at FBC, and I am just drawing blanks.  I feel like I’m not firing on all cylinders.  I look back at the course of the last two weeks and realize that it is blurry.  There are a few moments that I remember with razor sharp accuracy.  However, the minutes and hours have all kind of fuzzed over into one big painful memory.  [For those of you who may be jumping in you can read about what I’m talking about, here, here, here, and here.  You can click here to see my dad’s testimony.]  

Today I got back the video from my dad’s memorial service, and I wanted to share this one video with you.  I promise that I won’t inundate you with video’s and other stuff, but this is to special not to share.

After watching this over and over again I find it amazing to think about the way that my dad, even when unable to speak, continued to touch people’s lives.  So many people take for granted how much their actions speak; how much their lives speak.  

What is your life speaking right about now?

Prayer

No Comments

Thank you for praying for us as a family.  We are really going through the thick of it right now.  Now that the funeral is done, the guests have left, things are going “back to normal”. It is difficult.  Emotions come up at unexpected times, and it truly just keeps bringing me back to my knees in prayer.  Thank you for meeting me there!

I am glad to be here with my family in Texas.  It has been good to be here for an extended period after the funeral.  We have had an opportunity to be together, reminisce together, laugh, and cry together.  I have been so impacted by the words that people have written about my dad over here at the caring bridge site.  It has been great to read about the ways that my dad has made a difference in people’s lives.  There are even some people who didn’t know him that well whose lives he has touched.  Like this one here.  

It is hard walking down this road.  I have come to hate the word “was”.  I hate using the word was.  I wish that I could still say is…  

Thank you for your continued prayer support.  We are so thankful for each of you!
