Below in bold type is what my daughter wrote on facebook. Please come and join us for a great time of reflection. I am truly blessed to have such great Family, Friends and FAMILY (like minded believers. I have not blogged in a while not because I didn't have plenty to say, I did, but because there are times in your life that you must look deep inside yourself and find your direction. I have been in full survivor mode that I have lost myself within myself. I won't try to explain any further other than I was so focused on my situation that I spent little time on making myself better. I know what your thinking: Of course that's what caretakers do. Well I am here to tell you, There is a new "sheriff in town", okay not really but it time to focus some effort into resurrecting the heathier side of me. So, as you see me... "and ask me how I'm doing" be sure and ask me "how my walk is" or "how my health is". I need to keep my mind right and get this temporary body back in shape in order to last however long I have left here. Now that Regina is gone to be with our Beloved Jesus, I am left here to hold it all together. I will have much support I know but most of you won't be there at 3am when I wake up and realize my wife is no longer lying next to me, as she has for the past 23 years 5 months and 17 days of our marriage. I have stated before that Regina completed me. She made me who I am, I would have never taught a Bible Study Class unless she had encouraged me to do. I would never have persued sales over management had she not told me how gifted I was. And as I read this morning on a blog ( www.wherefaithis.blogspot.com ) I would never have been challenged to know God but for God putting her in my life. Again Please come join us this Saturday as we Celebrate the Life of my wife, Regina.

God Bless
