I received a call from my friend, Ron, in North Carolina this morning. The report concerning his father is not good. His health is rapidly deteriorating and the cancer is causing him extreme mental and physical problems. Ron calls me almost daily to sometimes vent, occasionally cry, and sometimes just to talk tome as a friend and a brother. I am going through my own issues at the moment; and I consider them to be somewhat magnanimous. But I cannot but help to see how pale in comparison my issues are when placed alongside the imminent death of a loved one. I am torn between opinions. Do I focus all my energies on myself; my home, or do I trust God for my situation and go to N.C. to stand by Ron and his sister? The stress they are experiencing is palpable and my fervent advice to them both is to stick together throughout this ordeal. I am getting ready to start my day. Each step I take will be proceeded by prayer. I don't know where I will be within the next hour. I pray that the will of God will be clear to me today.
Love you all.
Dennis
