Jim, You and Serena are in my prayers and thoughts... I so hope you sense the Lord's presence. Ann

Jim, from our house to yours, Merry and Blessed Christmas. Please tell Serena she is in our prayers. You, of course, are as well.

Jim, thanks for the encouragement -- I know what the anxiety that Serena felt is. I am finding it hard to watch others do for me what I use to do so easily. I suppose that is normal but not my normal! I got a Rx for Ativan along with the sleeping pill so hopefully sleep will return before too long. Not tonight, unfortunately. Therefore the cat and I are carefully prowling and as I work at typing and posting she has upset the paperclips and is tossing them about my office. The housekeeper will definitely have her work cut out for her in a few hours when she comes in. Hope Serena had agood night and you did too.

Thinking of you and Serena, Jim. You're in my prayers.

Oh, dear Jim. No rules to break. I have an awful time remembering all the details after a while and then contradict myself. If you're one of the "wilderness" lovers, you can hijack us and take us into the wilderness, lol, where we're supposedly headed. I'll bring the sourdough starter and some flour for bisquits.

Jim, it's wonderful having you in the follies! You and Serena are in my prayers, and I hope all is going smoothly in your home.
Ann

Jim, you and Serena have been on my heart this morning. I want you to know that I am praying for you two.
May the peace of the Lord be yours today.
Love,
Judy

My brother in the Lord, I feel the power of prayer lift me up here at the coast as I make a healing retreat. The waves are crashing and wild winds blowing at 75mph, and I am anchoring myself in scriptures and letting these healing waves wash over me, cleansing me of all fear, filling me with Trust, as i look neither to the right nor the left, but to the Path that unfolds beneath my feet. I will have everything I need when I need it, for grace is only in the moment. I want to make this an adventure in seeing what God will do!
Thank you for being my prayer warrior carrying the Standard of Christ!

Thank you so much. Know that your prayers have helped. I can feel the strength of the Holy Spirit lifting me up and helping me to coop with our "new normal". His grace is sufficent. I will certainly hold you up in my prayers. I am glad you have a chance to get away. Often those times set aside for the expressed perpose of meeting with God are the times He draws us close, may this trip be so for you.

Hello CAHPAH, just coming to say that I havr been praying for you and will do so the next few days while i am taking a prayer retreat at the coast. May I ask for your prayers also? For deep healing from past pains, so that i can love those who have hurt me, and come to know the power of forgiveness and unconditional love.
Your Sister in Christ

Hi Jim. Nice to hear from you. I haven't been on too much lately. I DID get hold of my Dad's photos from his photography endeavors at the beach. So now I have to learn to use his scanner Trying to deal with all that has transpired these past months. Dad went from full health to diagnosed w/ ALS to passing away, all in 6 mos. Can't really wrap my head around it all. It's surreal. Hope all is well w/ you and yours. Best Regards.

I really am sorry Serena has been choking. Jim, I just pray that the Lord will keep me in His peace while I choke. (I'm very serious.) He's given me such amazing peace that makes no sense throughout this, whenever I kept my eyes on Him. I understand, I think, why Serena is so tired of it. I'm sure you realize she loves you. I go through some of this crazy, circular thinking a lot, myself, over Phil.

How are you and Serena doing, Jim? I think about you often.
God bless you,
Ann

Jim, I just read your post in "I hate it when". It probably doesn't help to tell you that your situation as a father and caregiver has to be very difficult. You're in my prayers... there's a lot of stretching going on with this journey.
