I really don’t know. How am I supposed to feel after yesterday? I remain sad so there is that. My father is very present in my mind and on my heart.

There are times in your life you hear news you never wanted to hear. Reality and hope collide and sometimes go opposite. Today is one of those days that has made me very sad. My father has been in the hospital the past few days and he recieved a troubling prognosis that has us his family very emotional and very scared. The one thing is that I will love my dad everyday and cherish him in the coming days, weeks and hopefully months. I know God is good because he has sent angels in the form of his infinite creation to our side. Bear with me as I process this and as my family makes plans for our future.

Today Hamilton County, Tennessee schools begin classes for the 2019-2020 school year. I’m wearing my Red Bank High School t-shirt in honor of my fellow Lions. Have a great year students, teachers and staff.

A local church provided dinner and lunch at the hospital my dad is at. There is a rotation of congregations that help feed the families of patients who are sick. This is what being the church really is about, caring for the needs of others.

Is it me or does the world just suck right now? I’m typically a positive person but I’m finding difficult to be that way at the moment. Right now things trouble me personally and globally. I guess I’m having a moment of reality where I am not up for being positive. Interesting.
