My father, John, passed away from Alzheimer’s, as did his father, Arnold. Months ago, I learned that my uncle has Alzheimer’s, and today I learned that my aunt does too. The message fittingly read: “This disease is so prevalent on the LaPierre side of the family,” and then, because of the years with my dad, “Scott, if you have any words of advice or things to help us, we would appreciate it.”
As I prepared the advice, it turned out to be much longer than I anticipated. I thought that if it could help the family members I share with, I should put it on my blog to hopefully help others who have to walk through this disease with a loved one. So here are the seven pieces of advice I have for loved ones with Alzheimer’s.

Crowds followed Jesus everywhere—but crowds aren’t the same as disciples.
In the Gospels, people could be near Jesus physically while being far from Him spiritually. Jesus defines discipleship clearly: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23; 14:27).
In this message, we look at the difference between being part of the crowd and truly belonging to Christ, and how Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross behind Jesus becomes a living picture of discipleship (Luke 23:26–27).
