Wow! Those last 4 or so posts really welled up the tears! Thanks, Guys.

Matt, seems you've been holding back some. Knowledge is power and facing our own demons is very tough, but it is ever so powerful. Devil lives in the shadows.  I'll try to call so's you've got a number. Life has been too busy and running too hard, but will try. Prayers back at you! And you Sis! Not sure about B'mo this year, but will make the weekend if nothing else.

Eric, Thanks, man. I know there are many lifting up "Tite" and me in this battle.

Rookie, Wow. Those are some beautiful words right there. Undeserved, I fear, but occassionally, the Good Lord finds a way to use even this ole rusty, leaky bucket to do some good.

Tex, good to see you back in the mix. You've had one devilish tough row to hoe yourself with family and their health issues the past year! Prayers things are improving and wounds healing and losses shifting to fond memories.

Dad is now at the nursing home attached to his apartment. It's not the best, but 'according to God's will' whatever is to be...will.

I might not like it, but as has been said, Lord will provide the strength if I but surrender. That is the hard part. Seeing all those older folks sitting there in drool bibs, lost in a haze of unknown darkness, takes my breath away.

Thanks for your prayers for Titus.

Lord in your mercy...

Hello Doc, Just a note to say I am still praying for you and your Dad. Hope things are settling down for you. Keep the faith and remember that some of those lost in a haze just might be fellowshiping with the Lord. We just never know. Lord surround Doc and his Dad with your angles of protection. Give him understanding and faith to beleive what he can't see happening. Your work tell us that you wage war on our behalf in the spiritual realm. You are standing in the gap for Doc and his Dad even now. Thank you for giving us the power to praise you in ever situation if you will just take the time to do so. As always I pray this in You Name Amen In you own sign off "Keep the SON in your eyes", and a song in your heart. Rookie@51 aka Dusty

Keefer, Johnny, Dusty,

Thanks to you all and ALL the others who keep "Tite" in their prayers.

His progress is disturbingly slow... in a short month, Dad has lost a lot of ground... Doc's are tellin me they doubt he can make it back to independent living... but they hope he proves them wrong.

Now it's time to rely totally on God and keep MY vigilance on those who provide daily care, as they truly are stretched thin and mistakes happen, especially when they think there isn't much hope for their patients.

I had to finally take an evening off from visiting Friday. I was too exhausted to keep up the nightly routine. It's been almost 4 weeks...

I know whatever happens, God will provide me strength to endure. Dad's mental sharpness isn't there as it was. He was always so reliant on God. Now he's just confused it seems and being willful of what he wants.

Truly, there is much to praise God for in the midst of this that Dad can still feed himself and isn't totally incontentent(?). He is walking some with help... so he can retain some dignity and hope.

Indeed, it's time to "Keep the Son in my eyes!"

Thanks folks...

Where you at Doc? How's Pop doing? I haven't heard from you in a few. Hope all is well. I'm still praying for you and your Pop. God bless you and yours............

Thanks for the continued prayers for Pop.

Now that he's back at the main campus where he lived, he "lady friend" can visit (she's 78, he's 88 and they became friends a year after Mom passed)so I took the weekend and went to see my "2nd Mom" (she/Jack were neighbors when I lived up there and he died 2 yrs ago)She lives next door to my old house in Central PA. She just turned 84. I got to go out for Turkey Opener...only 2nd yr of hunting spring birds...don't know much, but got 3 to come in but not close enough...

I needed to change scenery and Lord took care of Pop. He made it without my being there every day!   :)  

Progress continues slow, but he's still making some headway... God's will to be done but if he can make it back to his apartment, that would be nice...

Thanks for the prayers for ole "Tite".

Well Doc sounds like you got recharged this weekend. I can hear it in your typing. LOL! You know that even our Lord and Savior had to get away to be alone with his Father and recharge. I feel your pain about the turkeys. I had 3 within 11 yards of me and could not close the deal. It was one of the most exciting hunts I have ever been on. This is my first year to really get after them too. I'm hooked. I want to take one with my Grandpa's old shotgun as I know he killed everything else with it. There were no turkeys around before he died. It is a Winchester Model 1897 pump. After that its back to the bow. Glad you are feeling better as well as your Pop's. Later my brother..........

You guys make me smile  :archer:  

Thanks for that.

I likely won't get out for turks anymore till last 2 weekends. This one, I gotta clean the dump! I got so much work I'm behind on!   "[dntthnk]"    :eek:  

Then there is B'more shoot the following weekend.  :)  Get to see Killy and Clark and so many other good Gang folks. Won't get down till later Fri, but hey... get a day or 2 in.

There be 2 more weekends after B'mo, but... it's a long drive to where there are birds!  :)

Thanks, too, for keeping ole Titus in your prayers. His mind just isn't clearing as it has in the past. At 88, I guess even a small TIA can do irreperable damage. Breaks my heart. But he's sitting up, takin nourishment and having some small independence. Just if he doesn't make some bigger gains soon, they'll likely force him into assisted living in another part of the complex and we'll have to close the apt and I'll have to get rid of all the family furniture and keepsakes. I've got nowhere for it all.

Overwhelming, but God always shows me a reserve I can't fathom before whatever challenge surfaces. I just don't have to like it!  :)  I guess Christ didn't much care for his cup either, but He did it for us!

Benson,
Easier to pen those words than to live them for sure! I'm about exhausted fighting the evil one's pull on a daily basis.  God will provide once I surrender totally instead of trying to make it work on my own...

Tom,
Man o live! Good to see you posting! Thanks for the prayers and continued prayers for YOU, good man!

Hello Doc! Still praying for you and dad. Please say a prayer for us today as I am giving my baby girl away to be married today at 2:PM. God has blessed us with a good young man whom I was able to lead to the Lord. He is a hard worker who treates my baby girl like a queen. I am about to conduct a devotion with the weding party and I am going to talk about a Godly marriage. Talk to yo later.

Thanks, Folks. Dad just isn't rebounding. He seems to have lost some fight in him. Yet he wants to go back to his apt...but he's not workign as he had. Hard to know if he's depressed or if it is a physical reality that he just cannot make the effort. Physically, there isn't that much change...some change in speech, but that is about it..just not the verve that was always Dad to "git er done."

It fills my heart with saddness to see this change and know it's dramatic impact I don't think Dad yet understands...

Thanks for the continued prayers. This is gonna leave a mark!
