Sooo…is this the equivalent of “Hospice Care”? Sorry if the question comes off too blunt. You’re in my prayers. Please pray for my friend Gary (he runs the homeless shelter whose guys helped us build our Church). I took him to emergency room last night and he has a baseball size tumor on his lung. Its not looking good for him.

We’re glad to hear you made it in OK.
For those of us who would love to visit, a few questions:
1.) Do you prefer that we call ahead?
2.) Are there generally bad times and better times to visit (for YOU)?
3.) Are we allowed to bring you goodies from the ‘outside’ and what do you miss that we can bring? ( food, beer, whatever………)
Steelers vs Bengals today at 1:00 !
