Home safe. This ole house never looked so good. Every mile of the 1,256 traveled was covered by grace.

Thank you Lord for your goodness.

Now to try and get a lil sleep ahead of tomorrow’s workday.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. • Hebrews 4:16

That’s a walking miracle right there y’all! This time last week he was flat on his back hanging onto a thread of life in a coma.

But God…

Y’all flooded the throne room of our good and merciful God with his need. True to his word he heard our cry. From the bottom of the heart of this humble dad. THANK YOU  and thanks and praise go to our sovereign Lord.

Now I’m headed west back home to Texas. Can’t help but be just a tad anxious in this old truck. She’s limping along as best as she can. When I tell you every mile traveled is a miracle at this point I mean it.  I’ve seen enough over the past week to know I can trust with reckless abandon. God is so very good y’all.

Reflective and thankful of God’s mighty power this day.

This time last Sunday found a young man alone and dying while a family reeled in the turmoil of disbelief.

7 days almost to the minute, Jordan has been discharged.

THANK YOU to all of our dearest friends and family for the prayers, that hospital room was saturated with God’s favor all week long. We’ve seen a wealth of miracles this week. From lives affected amongst the staff to moments of tangible proof of God’s presence amongst his children.

There are many so very many jaw dropping stories to share and unending praise to uplift to our mighty Lord Jesus Christ. I’ll share them soon enough. Still an uncertain road of recovery ahead, but I know who holds tomorrow, and I know he holds our hands.

For now, Jordan and I are getting him settled back in his home and into a familiar bed. My bones are fat with good reports this night. To God be ALL of the glory for the things he has done.

Trust: believe in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of.

Along this journey of over 500 miles I’ve observed a lot. Nice trucks, cars, and all sorts of vehicles in between, making a similar trek. I saw no concern on their faces. No worries of whether or not their chosen method of transport would carry them to their destination. And that’s how it should be. Trust.

It hit me how much different it is behind the glass that I peer through moving forward. A windshield that has seen well over 438,000 miles resting above and behind the motor that is succumbing to the law of thermodynamic decay.

I truly had no concern on my face either. But the trust factor was different. The passengers in the roadworthy vehicles that I passed along the way, didn’t give a second thought to the possibility of their arrival. They possessed faith as well. In this context, it was faith in a machine. Sure anything can happen and I’m sure they are thankful for their safe passage no matter. While a marvel of man’s intellect inspired by God, it just doesn’t seem to elicit the same type of glory to our Creator.

The fact of my safe passage, is just a bit different in that regard. When you serve a God that doesn’t operate within the constraint of facts but rather the truth of his limitless power. Well…that when he gets all the glory. True trust in letting God handle our lives is not for the faint of heart. I don’t get it right all of the time, but boy howdy when I get out of his way, it’s a beautiful thing to watch him work.

You can take away from that what you want, but as for me and my house we will serve and trust in the Lord.

I’m walking into this hospital tonight ready to see my miracle boy. We’ve got some challenges ahead, but my eyes aren’t set on the winds around us. I’m focused on the MASTER of the wind.

Thank you, Lord for your marvelous grace and unending mercy.

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him,

O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

• Matthew 14:30-31

A miracle in Birmingham

Psalm 116: 1-2
1 I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy.
2 Because he turned his ear to me,I will call on him as long as I live.

Jordan is still stable, but fighting hard to regain consciousness after day 3.

I cannot say enough about the exceptional care he is receiving. Due to the severity of the DKA event, his sodium is elevated to a very critical level. Lowering it is being addressed in the safest way possible. We are in a waiting game for it to lower and him to regain consciousness.

Now to the main point of this post.

I pray this video blesses someone as much as it has me.

As the father of a daughter, one can only pray for a helpmeet to her that loves and provides. I am above most, extremely blessed with that in Danny.

I am making plans to travel to Alabama to be by my son’s side as he recovers. Knowing he will need help on the back end of recovery means I have to restrain from traveling now, it’s killing me because I’ve never not been by his side through his battle with diabetes over the past decade. His mother and sister as well as a dear friend are by his side as support through this part of the journey. I will be going soon.

Danny you are standing in the gap for me, and oh how thankful I am.

As the father of little Sutton, you can now understand how thankful I am for you. I pray that one day, you too are blessed with the peace of mind and comfort that I have knowing my daughter is being led by a man that loves and respects his family and has a hunger for God.

We will never be perfect in this mortal state, the key is to never lose the hunger or fear of a sovereign God. To make him the Lord of our lives, marriage, and homes. Thank you for taking care of my daughter and her brother and doing your best to lead and provide a Christ centered home.

I love you and pray God’s blessings and peace cover you.

Noah, The Alamo, and storage sheds.

In an ever changing world, choose to be that man.

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dad’s that sacrifice daily to be that example of Godly leadership to their families.
