I find most of my friends who go to church and believe faith is important to hteir lives have similar situations but they chosse to just smile and wave...don't rock the boat. Why should we need to walk on eggshells and fake that we beleive things we don't in order to be part of a spiritual community?
Ah my dear wii, I pray that you find what you are seeking for, the bible (and yes, I'm one of those who uses it as a guide and the base for everything) "and you will find me when you search for me with all your heart". i pray one day you feel the peace and the joy I feel, the sureness of what is not seen, feeling His presence regarless anything good or bad that goes on in your life. True, many go just for the sake of going, which is not the point. And my belief teaches that the bible isn't a bio but is God's will to us, and the only way to be saved is to accept Jesus' sacrife as payment for our sins, as there is no way any of us can ever 'earn' or deserve salvation, we just couldn't, so it was God's provision that He gave up his only son to carry out sins. I will now get off my soap box, lol, I just had to say it, not a sermon, just a thought

I went to see my Dad today and he's a little better than last night but he's going downhill. He said last night "what kind of life is this, lying here all day puking and filling my pants!" It is just so hard to watch the life slowly drain out of your Dad day after day and there's nothing you can do to stop it. I just try to be there as much as I can. He's not just my Dad he's my good friend, someone I can talk to about anything and everything, soon he'll be gone. But, despite everything, he's still got his sense of humour. He told me he's thinking of asking for a raise "I think I should be paid what I'm worth!". Time to go, I feel a good cry coming on.
I continue to think of you and your dad, Wii. You are in my prayers.

I understand your need to see the suffering stop Wii. It's hard to watch. Just know that every minute that you spend with him as he goes through this will be a blessing to you and him.

Well, I need to make a new thread, I've been trying for ages but it's just not working, I just may not have it in me. I'm thinking of seeing a specialist to try artifical in-thread-a-lation.
