It’s great to hear that you read your dad’s posts. That’s the reason I blog….for my kids and their kids and so on, etc, etc. It gives me hope that they will someday read mine and think, “Uh, wow! And she didn’t even know what Frisbee golf was.”

I want them to know how God permeates my whole life. Sometimes good, sometimes sad, sometimes backwards feet in a bathroom stall funny….but they will know me, and more importantly the God that I know.

Your dad is awesome! Those are some of the best words I have heard!

Did you say “unpacked the thought”? I just heard someone else use the word “unpacked” that way and it really caught me off guard… aww now I know I’m not “down with it”… or is it up?

Seriously though, I couldn’t agree more with your Dad’s statement. I read this quote in a management handbook, “There is no need for the faith to move mountains when the technology exists to do it for us”

I’m smack-dab in the middle of reading the George Muller story to the kids. Yeah. Getting spanked again and again.

I left my job to help start a church that launched just 3 months ago in Miami, and I think your dad is a straight rockstar.

my husband and i are at exactly the same place as your dad with daring to get uncomfortable and living a life where we truly need God every day….it’s hard getting used to it but we know it’s worth it….look forward to reading your dad’s whole post

Love what your dad says. Something we could all do with holding on to.

That’ so true. I think the hardest prayer to say and mean is “give me this day, my daily bread.” It’s like that verse in Proverbs that wisely says “give me neither poverty nor riches.” It’s a life of constant trust. Thanks.

great post. i think we all, at times, crave the easy life that we know we can control…where we have predetermined the outcome…but is that life to the fullest? Bravo to your dad. it will be an amazing adventure.
