meow kat ...i will pray for your dad.. meow
: There is a really long story here that I would rather not post on the message board, suffice it to say my family is disfunctional not unlike many of yours.
: I am just asking for prayer for my dad. He's not sick well, he still has emphysema and arterio-sclerosis, and skin cancer that keeps returning, but this is all nothing new. I know when he was in the hospital a few years ago for 6 bypasses, God heard the prayers you prayed for him, and more recently when he had the anyeurism in his aorta, you guys prayed and God was merciful to him again. Lately my thoughts on him are more towards his inward healing. I really don't know what he thinks about God. He belonged to a Baptist Church for a while but he doesn't go anymore, I think that was more a social thing thatn anything else. I think he believes in God but doesn't think God cares about him unless something bad is happening and then God gets blamed.
: There is definately bitterness in his heart toward God, probably because of my mother, (she's deceased, that's another story).
: Well anyway, he keeps some strange company, and the other night he got in a fight with a 20 something guy who actually sucker punched him. My dad even though he has a weak heart and he's 73 years old, still thinks he can kick anybodies ass. This guy hit him right in the side of his head and actually made my dad's ear bleed. He didn't go to the hospital and he says he's alright. I saw him tonight and he seems alright, but still...
: This isn't the first time something like this has happened.
: He didn't press charges because he's the boyfriend of some girl my dad cares about. Gosh this is weird. Anyway, will y'all pray for my dad. I just can't talk to him about anything and I don't know what else to do.
: Sorry so lengthy.
