Dad is progressing towards the final mark. But, I am strong, and so i Mom. The Lord has moved in all your prayers, and I am thankful for it. I have medical power of attorney for my Dad, and have found him a wonderful group to work with.

Despite the tears, God moved mightily, and He did more than I could imagine. I will explain more as details come available. Thanks to all, and love you all.

Bro. Price, I will pray for you and your family.

This evening, I got the call. Dad had graduated on to Glory. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in his lungs, and the x-rays showed the infection was in his entire chest. This was at 1:00PM.

He left this mortal plain at 8:00PM. Daniel Alicea, a man who truly showed me and my Mom the love of God, met us at the hospital. Funeral arrangements are pending, and when they are completed, I will gladly share them with you all.

Thank you so much, AFF. This is a huge loss, but my Jesus will be bigger still.

BP,

I was saddened to have read about the passing of your father, yet I recognized the many prayers that were answered for you and your mom during this difficult time and that left me very thankful.

I marveled once again how God uses people that have walked through the very valleys in life such as a passing of a parent as instruments of his love to minister to others that have found themselves in those same valleys. When I read how Daniel was there for you and your mom after losing his own father a couple of years ago, I recognized how God was using his pain of loss that he had experienced to help you and your mom this week.

He has taken a lot of ribbing from many, some of it justified

, but what I have seen in Daniel was a man who has truly lived his life in step with the heartbeat of God.

I have added you and your mom to my prayers list. You know I live in Houston too, so if you ever need someone just to talk to over coffee, please give me a call. PM will be coming your way with my number.

Here is an update I just posted on my blog. It is a little raw for me, but it is what I am enduring.

Quote:

Tonight, we finalized the arrangements for my Dad's funeral. It will be Friday at 10:30AM at Houston National Cemetery.

I have alot of support, and alot of friends helping me. But, I cannot help but beg Jesus, "Please let this be just a bad dream." I cannot help it. I hurt, and I do not care who says what about me. I sit at this keyboard, wiping tears from my eyes, hurting, aching, and weeping.

So hard to type, but I have to vent.

I hurt. I admit it. So many tell me that a minister should not show his feelings. I don't care. I ache so much my chest hurts. I cry so much I am dehydrated. He was too young to go, and I am not ready to live life without my Dad to laugh with and be with. Yes, by God, I cry and I hurt like heck.

I thank God for the friends I have, for my AFF friends, and for my loved ones throughout the world. I am sorry if this entry disturbs you, but please, do not think this man is weak. I miss joking about my Dad's bald spot. I miss his jokes. I miss his hugs. I am 31 years old and I miss his hugs. I admit i. I miss him holding me as a father would hold his son.

I have had to be strong for my Mom and grandparents, but I feel as if I have no more strength. Dear God, how will I hold up Friday when they bury my Dad?! God help me. I am hurting so much.
