BIL is still

David Jennings · March 1, 2006 · 1 Comment

hanging in. There is some improvement in his “labs”, meaning that some of his organs are beginning to function in a somewhat more normal manner. Still not responsive but as long as he’s alive, there is hope. Oh how I want to hear my phone ring on the drive to work. We talked weekly that way, as we made our way to work, encouraging each other. He’s such beautiful person, full of life and hope, a joy to talk to.

About halfway through Showdown now. Dekker has returned to some of the themes from his trilogy, Red, Black, White, the books I didn’t care for much, thought they were too wordy just to increase the length of the books. He scolded me for that, btw. Anyhow, the overriding theme in this is choice, our free will given by God. And how over time, sin enters our lives and we just don’t realize it, we are blinded to the effects it has on us. Very real stuff here in a very much fantasy novel. So far, so good.

Wonder if the handwriting analysts are pouring over visitors cards this morning. Late.

No, it was a call that I lamented would never come again not so long ago, a call I deeply cherished, for it was BIL calling for our morning chat. We talked about a lot of things this morning, a bit longer than usual. About how life is hard. About his frequient talks now with his son in California. About his spouse that is going to undergo surgery this week to repair her shoulder. About the two guys at church buying guitars. About the mistaken doctrine espoused in the Left Behind series. About how when life is hard, what a blessing it is to have someone reach out and touch you. About one of my class members who does just that, shows up at the door and says, hey, how’s it going today? About neighbors taking the time to bring them food because neither one is able to function in the kitchen. […]
