This is a day we have been praying for. A day that was not expected to come so soon. Today Pastor Al goes home! We have seen the power of prayer in action, and there is no denying God's intervention and healing for Al. All the prayers have been much appreciated by everyone.
Now comes the adjustment for everyone. Al is used to being independent. We need to assist him in whatever way possible. The good news is that he will only need people to check in on him a couple of times a day. When I visited with him on Tuesday, he was wearing his typical garb; jean, t-shirt, and boots! He looked normal. (well as normal as Al ever looked??) He continues to joke around saying, "If I am not the strangest person in the room, something is wrong." This is Al.
When he is released today (by the Warden, as I put it) Kristen is taking him for a treat. A steak dinner! This is a far cry from the food he was eating a few weeks ago, remebre the "I think this used to be potato salad." He is exceeding everyones' expectations, and is truly a walking miracle.
Keep praying for Al, as he will be going to therapy (something he will kid about with you, and I will let him explain this one personally). remember, God is AMAZING! Don't let anyone tell you anything different.

This is really great news to hear. We miss seeing Al around Kidspeace. I have Al in my prayers everyday and we added him to a couple of the churches for prayers too.

I'd love to know who all of those that are putting comments in would let it be known who they are because I would like to visit them and thank them for their kind words and prayers.
