Please pray (or best wishes, whatever) for me.
I just found out my father is very sick and could be fading. I'm traveling from Metro Louisville to Charlotte this weekend to see him if this is indeed his last days. Please pray for safe travel and whatever happens one way or another.

A little update:
I didn't make it to Charlotte over the weekend and may not make it this weekend coming up. The doctors have given my father six months. He is suffering from cirrhosis of the liver. While I have faith in God that he can heal my dad, I've come to terms that this will likely end with my father's death in the coming months.
Very sorry to hear of that diagnosis and prognosis..
I also have faith that God can heal your dad, but I also know that one day He will call us home when our time here has tired and weakened these bodies. Know that there will come a day when your father will rest peacefully until you are reunited.
I will keep him in my prayers Alanboy. I pray that these months will be with peace and little pain..Just be with him as much as possible loving and caring and maybe even sharing a bit of laughter as you travel this last journey with him..
In light of the tragedy in Tuscon and the subsequent political climate, I'm just hoping we all remember to pray for those involved and for the healing of our nation. It saddens me that our country is so divided at this time. Thank you all, and God Bless.

Alanboy...if it's any consolation to you, my dad died with the diagnosis of cirrhosis of the liver in 1968 as well.
At that time...my faith was not anywhere near "The Christ" as main stream Christianity would see it...I only felt him in my heart and mind...my dad changed all that.
A few nights after he passed, I woke up sensing a peaceful aura (thin smoke-like) by my bedroom door, urging me to take my cover, lay it on the floor to lie down on so that I would know this was not a dream...without uttering a single word. Instinctively...I knew that it was my dad comforting me by his presence.
Sure enough...the first thing I muttered after waking up a few seconds later was, "what a dream!!!" then I remembered...and I was on the floor.
Since then...the fear of death no longer troubled my soul, for I know that this life is not the end of it.
May you find comfort in this...
