Jarrod called Ronnie tonight. First time he/they have talked to him since the last time they called him. As I was washing clothes, Jarrod came in giggling and told me to pray for him. Same old same old. He was drunk as a skunk. Lost his job because USA is outsourcing all that now. Even now, my heart hurts for him. Said his legs are getting bad. I know last time I took Logan to see him in Birmingham, he was dragging one leg really bad. He's almost 50. It actually shocked me that I felt the way I did. Just a really deep sadness for him. I really will pray for him. I hate that life has beat him up so bad. He had a good side, once upon a time, but the drinking is still using him as a favorite cup. Such a shame. Megan said she told him about the whole fiasco with Mama and Jerry. The kids were watching our old home videos last night, the ones where daddy was dying and Mama was taking care of them while I stayed with him. Things can go so horribly wrong in life. It's a wonder sometimes we can keep faith at all. Sheer grace. The kids and I prayed for him. I don't ever remember feeling this much real compassion for him. No bitterness left at all. Thank you Jesus.
I am currently Blessed
