Up to this point, it hasn't been mentioned on the blog (for lack of time more than anything else); but as many of you know, my dad has been battling with alcohol detoxification and related ailments for a number of months now. From the first appointment with the specialist in May to now, I would have never imagined that things could have gone from bad to worse so quickly. The emotional roller coaster that this has put our family on has been indescribable. But to make a long story short, he was readmitted to the hospital over the weekend, and the kids and I will be driving to South Carolina in a few hours to check on him. His condition is not improving and we are needing to find a 24-hour care facility that will take him in as soon as possible (hopefully in the next day or two). That is going to be my primary purpose while I am there.
Please pray for protection on our trip . . . I am not looking forward to driving in these storms with a 1 and 3 year old in tow. Jerome will be staying back to work, since I could be gone for an extended period of time. Thanks for your thoughts, love, and support.

We pray traveling mercies for you and your family and ask that God would give wisdom and grace as you evaluate acceptable care providers for your Father. Be encouraged and know that your steps are ordered by the Lord.
You and your family are in my prayers. Love you.
