Flooded with Random Thoughts & Questions...

The mind has a million memories running through it right now...emotions are riding up & down...trying to serve mom as she deals with significant loss, while considering my state and how all of this affects me...is this also a part of my Job moment? I get the health being struck down, but family too? Leo is enjoying his time with the Savior and the homecoming that he is experiencing right now, but does he even care about the huge deficit left behind in his absence? I am excited about the upcoming birth of our next child, Joy finds out more after her visit to the OB/GYN...Isabel is missing daddy and TaTa, while mom is explaining to her the fact that a reunion is coming upon the return of the King! I am overwhelmed by Charismatic Christians and watching my mom being slain in the spirit...at a funeral of all places? Is my heart too tired to appreciate the diversity of the body? Am I too cynical or conservative to acknowledge the spirit moving differently or caught up in "the box" of legalism, when reason does it's job just fine? Lots of conversations on salvation, contextual evangelism and discipleship, complacency and accountability...while listening to Seal sing...

Mourning in San Antonio...

My stepfather Leonides Flores passed away yesterday at 6:19 PM.

He was 68 years old and married to my mom for 26 years. He decided to follow Jesus in 1994.

This photo was the from last day trip we took with him in September 2007.

We look forward to our reunion! Peace TaTa.
