In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. One thing I have asked of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; to behold the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.
Whoooosh well that hit me hard. My dad is living in the last stages of Alzheimer's and your line about living, not yet locked out of his own life is exactly the way I want to remember him. It is so hard to keep the past in the present when it seems I can only remember the version of him that is currently in front of me. But he has loved and been loved well in return. Thank you for writing. Please keep writing.

"He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)
ALL things! ALL.
Peace to you, brother.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
John, this story about your dad felt like a punch to the gut. I'm so sorry. Thank you for your words.
