Forward in the Fog

When Lori's musician son Joe first mentioned numbness in two of his fingers she didn't think much of it. But as days passed and he was hit with a crippling migraine and relentless nausea her concern deepened. Then came a doctor's devastating diagnosis: Brain cancer . . . aggressive . . . inoperable . . . twelve-to-fifteen months. Join Lori on an emotional journey through love hope despair and finally open-handed surrender to the wisdom and goodness of God.Joe was strong healthy and athletic--a black belt in the mixed martial art Kajukenbo. He was a talented singer-songwriter with an album and several singles. He quietly loved and served those living on the streets often stopping to chat with them and buy them lunch or a pair of shoes sometimes literally giving the jacket off his back.Honest and vulnerable regarding her own dark emotions during a season of suffering and uncertainty her sense of God's absence and her desperation to withdraw from society Lori finds that even for a solitude-loving introvert nurturing our most important relationships is infinitely rewarding and that God is steadfast in his love and mercy regardless of our feelings about him.
