Blog of the Grateful Bear

ramblings of a freelance panentheist {"all things are in God, and God is in all things"} . . . musings on Emergent spirituality, powerlifting, LGBTQueer issues, contemplative prayer, mysticism, cats, music, healing, and more. I like my coffee and my existentialism dark-roasted.

I'm an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), in private practice in Marietta, Georgia. I'm an Episcopagan who is involved in the Emergent Christian conversation. My writings on queer spirituality have been published in Whosoever and several other magazines. I live in a house-in-the-woods (Bear's Hermitage) in Marietta with Leonidas (Lenny) and Guy, Mighty Warrior Cats, and way too many books.

Update on Dad - Long Term Acute Care

My dad, Lloyd Grizzle, continues to suffer complications from acute pancreatitis but his condition has stabilized and his spirits are much brighter. He is still unable to eat solid foods, but he is able to breathe on his own again.

He is being transported on Monday to an LTAC (Long Term Acute Care) unit in midtown Atlanta, at Kindred Hospital. The plan is for him to rest and continue to heal over the next 2 to 3 weeks so he can be strong enough to have the surgeries he needs: at least one, maybe more, to remove the parts of his pancreas that have rotted, and one to remove his gallbladder.

I deeply appreciate the continued prayers and support of my friends and cyberfriends.

Darrell, your dad and your family continue in our prayers. Appreciate the update. I was getting (more) concerned!
