And Happy Father's Day

I Determined I ought to make some mention of Father's Day while I am at it as it IS Father's Day. Kerry however is in London and so it just seems like a kind of super quiet not much going on day around here........... So happy Father's Day to you in England honey and happy Father's Day to our darling sons who are really quite extraordinary dads and to my father who is an example of the believer's who has lived a long and service-filled life. Kerry and I were just talking the other day about how we can see that 'enduring to the end' might simply be much more difficult that we might want that it will be. Maintaining momentum and enthusiasm is tough! Then as I look out at folks who have lived into their eighties and nineties, I have nothing but admiration for those who are able to do it well and keep their chins up. So chin up and thanks for teaching us the gospel dad, and know that we are grateful for the heritage of faith and hard work and dedication that you have devoted a lifetime to leaving us.
