With so much happening in our lives there is just so little time to write on this blog page. I cut down over a year ago to just five or six post a month but June is half gone but I have written nothing. But I do promise to pick up writing again as soon as i can. Why you might ask?
Most of you know we are in the process of selling our home in Kennesaw and relocating to Ellijay GA to a tract of land that has bee passed down to me from my grandfather. The process to ready the house here in Kennesaw for sale and beginning the work in Ellijay as well as keep up with Chaplain duties has made for some long days and not much time for writing. My daughter said this to me last night. "Dad can we do something for Father's day tomorrow besides you running around the house working like a mad man?"
This made me stop and think... I know that good dads do work and provide and do what needs to be done. But I know my dad knew when to stop working a bit and enjoy life. Pete Davis caught fish, pulled skiers, hunted deer and sat on the porch. I never thought he was lazy, or avoiding work. This is the first Father's day that I will not see my dad except in my memories. I praise the Lord for the great memories I do have of my dad. He taught me so much, but more important he loved me so much. Wow that is a powerful thought.
Take time to celebrate Father's day today. It is a good day to tell those who are good dads what a great job they are doing. Encourage those dads who need it.
I want to encourage and say thanks to two young dads. The dynamic duo of Brett and Brian have become wonderful and loving fathers. I am proud of them and pray for them every day. I love you and hope you have a happy and great father's day too.
