Daddy Scott


Daddy Scott is my grandaddy. He is such a special man to me. He loves people lavishly, cares for others in generosity and believes and lives for the glory of God. He has the biggest heart of almost anyone I know. He played Clemson football in college and is in the hall of fame there...he will tell you ALL about it if you ask him. His passion is farming and he has done it all of his life.
He was recently diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the lung. This isn't necessarily a fatal diagnosis, but if you combine it with his age, pulmonary fibrosis. Sjogren's disease, and SVT, it really affects his health and well being. He was diagnosed in December and he has been declining since. We are all still hopeful, but we can see the toll it is taking on his quality of life.
He has been feeling very weak lately. He has to rest indoors alot, which is not his favorite thing to do. He hates being inside all day, but unfortunetly, this illness forces him to do that.
I would just ask you to pray for him, if you don't mind. Pray God would keep him well until the end. That he would make these days of old age good ones and that he would have energy to enjoy his favorite thing-God's creation. I know that God's will must be done, but I hate the thought of my grandfather being shut-in because of illness.
Thanks for your prayers. I just wanted to let you all know about this man who is so special to myself and Ryan. He has been a rock in our family and taught us all about the unfailing love of God....I am so thankful for the gift of him in my life!!!

On Faith and Suffering

Suffering....it is not an easy thing to bear up under. I feel that as life goes on, I am seeing more and more suffering around me. I have recently been through a tough season in my life. In the midst of difficult circumstances, it has caused me to look to God and question at times. I think sometimes in the Christian life, we are told, “Don’t question. Just believe. God is good all the time.” This, of course, is true but I think there is true beauty in the wrestling. In the coming out on the other side having a deeper faith because of where God has taken you on the journey. I have recently been reading in Hebrews and like God does, He somehow lined up the Scriptures and where I was reading to answer some of my questions right in the face. Questions like... “Why do people who love you have to suffer?” “I understand suffering is for your glory, but we already love you and are about your glory so do we have to go through it?” “Are you really big enough? Good? Faithful?” “Is it ...

10 things...

I am such a copy-cat today, but I love this idea! My favorite, Beth Moore, started this on her blog,  and then I noticed my girls, Alyssa and Kathyrn did it on their blogs too. I am learning so many new things about people and, naturally, I need to do it now! Here are the directions: What are 10 things - right off the top of your head - that we would only know about you if we knew you really well? 10 random things ranging anywhere on your personal map that make you a tad distinctive? Or just plain weird? Think quickly. Don't go for deep. Go for quirky. Don't try to put them in any kind of order and don't make them long. Just start typing. Since this is the Reese blog, I will attempt to do it for both of Ryan and myself.... Anna: 1. I hate to shave. Freshman year of college, I only shaved once a week and my friends and people I worked with tried to straighten me out with weekly "armpit checks"...sick, but true. 2. I love zits, abscesses, blood blisters---an...
