If You Would Like to Stay Updated

Hey guys, Amanda here. Just so you know, David, DJ's dad, has a website that keeps you up to date with everything that is going on. Its gets to be really difficult (for many reasons) explaining the updates, so this is a great way for everyone to know the skinny.
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/davidlipscomb


I'm pretty sure you have to register to read it, but it is a great resource! Honestly, I find a lot of info about what's going on in detail on CaringBridge...haha

We are rallying you all for prayers of healing for Mr. Lipscomb! Just as a quick update, he's in the hospital right now getting some tests and procedures done that will hopefully help him feel better so he can get back on chemo. The detailed story is on CaringBridge.

It has been so encouraging to read all of your support. Everybody is really taking care of us and we are so so thankful.

We love you all!

Important Update

Hey all,
Wanted to update you on my Poppa Bear for those of you who are not on Caring Bridge. We found about a week ago that his cancer has returned and spread to the liver. Not good news at all. Right now the doctors are working on getting some food and fluids in him and trying to regulate his medicine. He has started back on chemo to see if that will help fight whats going on. Biggest prayers right now are getting his diet and nutrition back on track. The tumors are causing some issues with digestion and stuff so they are trying to figure all of that out. He is doing better the past two days than he has been but it is going to take some time to get him feeling better.

Many of you walked this with us last year and we are so thankful to have friends to walk this new road with us once again. Love you guys and we will try to keep you updated.

If only I had written this song..

Shadowlands lyrics


God, please bring the rain
Yeah, and bring it soon
Let it flood right through the houses
Into Judy's room

With a father on amphetamines
Her mother hides the pearls
Reach out into the darkness
And find my little girl

'Cause she's angry like a salesman
That couldn't make a sale
Threw her wedding ring in the sewer
And damned them all to hell

Please lead her to the mountain
That you fashioned out of sand
While the roaches climb the walls
From the hotel where he calls

Most people never find a love
Most people never find a love
Sometimes you just can be a man
Sometimes you just can be a man
When your living in the darkness
Of the shadowlands
The shadowlands
The shadowlands
