Personally, and on behalf of my family, thanks to so many of you for your blog and Face Book comments as well as your emails. I can’t respond to each of them, though I wish I could. You have been a great source of strength and inspiration. Thank you.

We got the first flight out of Dallas this morning and made it to Dad’s beside in time for him to recognize us, express his love and say goodbye. He had deteriorated significantly since we saw him Sunday. By a little afternoon, he was pretty much shut down. At the moment he is still hanging on even though his body is obviously shutting down. No one can predict how much time remains, though that is certainly to be measured in hours rather than days.

Again, thanks so much for your interest and prayer. I tend to be pretty private about family things, but so many continually ask about my parents I feel the confidence to share with you on this blog. My style is to mix things up and discuss a variety of themes from scripture, to mission, social themes, restaurant reviews  – you name it. So, I guess a bit of family from time to time is permissible.
