Father's Day

Wow, what a morning. Our pastor at the little Nazarene church we attend had all the dad's in the church in tears at one point. He really delivered an awesome message. The church prayed a blessing over the fathers, recognized them and had a traditional Mexican dish (Pozole - pronounced po-zo-lay). I gave the children extra hugs and thanked them for blessing me with the priviledge of being their dad, the opportunity to disciple them and be close to them.

In the afternoon, nap time. Whenever Sandra asks what I want for Father's Day, I usually say, "A nap." I just want a day where I can take a nap, feel entitled to it and don't feel like a slacker (usually because there are other things to get done around the house). I have to say, I'm much less of a napper than I used to be, but it's nice on special days like today to lay back (in the air conditioning of course) put my arms behind my head and reflect on nothing, just drift off to sleep. Total naptime: 15mn. Oh well, must be a sign of my age. There was a time when I could pull off a 2 hour nap. Again, probably age related (both my age and the ages our children were at when we at one point had a 4, 2 and 2 month old).

Thank you God for being the best Father in the world!
