I know you must just be worried sick. May God watch over your Father and bring him home.
>>Just helped him with his Windows 7 beta load on his laptop
Ah well, there it is. Windoze Betas have driven many over the Vista...
Prayers up for your dad.
Holy God,
You know Homer’s exact location and all that has happened to him. We ask You, Father, to reveal his whereabouts to those in search of him. Place Your love and protection around him, that he may return safely to his home. Father, please comfort his family as they await word, and grant them Your peace. In the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Prayers for your Dad. And for you too. I can image what’s going through your mind.
Prayers for your dad and family. Please keep us posted.
BTW I’m sure you have thought of this, but I was present when the police were called to locate a woman with Alzheimer’s and she turned out to be inside her house.
Most times around here people that do have Alzheimer's are usually found near the house. Last one was found in a pond about 300yds away from his home. Though we have had them hop in a car and drive 500 miles and then can't find their way back.
As your dad's car and phone are still there that probably isn't likely. And the fact he had all his faculties makes it less likely.
I have relatives on the FWPD - they take this stuff very seriously and as a family we have similar experiences so they know what’s up. The first 48 hours are the most important so keep the spirits up.
I am far from there.We will pray,(((((Hugs)))))Fatima
Prayer bump.
Please ping your prayer lists,Thanks you,Fatima
Prayers that you find Dad well and soon.
My sincere prayers for you and your family.
Are you there in Texas (local)?
Or are you in the United Arab Emirates????

Fort Worth Police Search For Missing Elderly Man
Police in Fort Worth are asking for the public’s help in finding a 72-year-old man who has been missing since late Sunday night.
Homer Johns was last seen near the garage at his home, in the 4700 block of Ardenwood Drive.
Johns, who stand 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds, was wearing a dark gray shirt with the Dell computer logo, tan pants and flip-flop shoes. He has short brown/graying hair and hazel eyes.
While family members say Johns does not suffer from Alzheimer’s or any impeding medical condition, he is on medication for high blood pressure.
A command post has been set up at Dallas Park Elementary School, where volunteers and search crews are racing against the clock to find Johns since early Monday morning.
Both Johns’ vehicle and cell phone were found at his home. Family members say Johns disappearance is out of character and very unusual for the military veteran. “It’s been exhausting. What started out as a normal Sunday afternoon, time with the grandkids, to a 15-minute gap, my mother going inside to brush her teeth and he was shutting the garage door down,” said Tom Johns, the missing man’s son. “And then, to be missing.”
Anyone with information about Homer Johns is asked to contact the Fort Worth Police Department at 817-335-4222.
KKing, I am praying for your Dad’s safe return.
Are we looking for him in Ft. Worth or Dallas?
