Living Still is a gift from God through Christ for you, a way to pass along lessons already learned.
Long Term Care dominates life. There is no time to meet others like yourself, to compare notes, or ask “Am I doing this right?”
This typically happens: The one in my care has died, so I’m supposed to leave and take all of my experience with me. You would be left alone to struggle along the same path I've already traveled, to face the same fear, to ask the same questions, to learn the same lessons, all the hard way.
Living Still is for you. For a record of lessons learned, for a witness of the faithfulness of God, for a testimony of the love of Christ, for hope in the life you live and the life you care for, please accept Living Still.

Family and Personal Ministry

Life does not prepare you to be here.
There will be many unexpected, difficult issues.
Every decision must be faced consistently.
God has already prepared an ordered list.
The entire Bible is a lesson in priorities for our daily lives.
God first
Ask God, first and only, for guidance and wisdom.
Spouse second
Love your spouse as Christ has loved you.
Family third
Care for family members before all others, except God.
Job fourth
Use every ability God has given you.
Recreation fifth
Forsake all things that keep you from God and family.
Personal Ministry last
The one in your care is your personal ministry.
Serving in church and community will wait.
For now, Family and Personal Ministry are the same.
