My Alzheimer's Journal #20

I asked Connie if my constantly asking her questions like, "Where are we going," or "What are we doing today," when she has already told me several times is annoying or frustrating to her. She admitted that it was. That makes me sad. Truly, I would much rather God take me sooner than to be an exasperation to Connie as long as Mom was to Dad with her Alzheimer's.

My Alzheimer's Journal #19

I preached my final sermon at St. Luke this past Sunday. It feels really weird not to be working on an upcoming sermon. Even though I'm retired I still preached about a dozen times a year at St. Luke and Epiphany Lutheran churches. Most people at St. Luke call me Pastor Paul. I guess now I'm just Paul. And that feels like I've lost something.
