Fathers Day - 2007

HAPPY FATHERS DAY !

"He did not tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."
- Clarence Budington Kelland

Gloversville, NY 1965

I spent a lot of time on my fathers shoulders growing up and I loved the view from that vantage point. There was just something about riding around on his shoulders that was so much fun. Thanks dad for all the rides and a whole bunch of other stuff I know I didn't thank you for while growing up!

Intriguing Thoughts

I was reading about Shane Clairborne on the Simple Way web site and came across a quote by Tony Campolo that really intrigued me and made me pause and meditate on it.

"Even if there were no heaven and there were no hell would you still follow Jesus? Would you follow Him for the life, joy and fullfilment He gives you right now?"

Now before you answer the question take a few minutes and ponder the breadth and depth of the question and more importantly your answer. After meditating over your answer consider a comment that followed the above quote.

"...Jesus came not to not just to prepare us to die but to teach us how to live. Otherwise much of Jesus's wisdom would prove quite unneccessary for the afterlife. Afterall, how hard could it be to love our enemies in heaven."

Again, consider the comment and your reaction to it.

As a follower of Jesus Christ and a believer in His teachings I ask myself what kind of life has He called me to live and more importantly am I living it out in my daily life?

21 Years Ago

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

-Nietzsche

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

1986

Well, 21 years ago on the 7th of June 1986 Tamara Paige McReynolds said "I do" and as it has been said, "The rest is history."

On a similar note our neighbors Coy & Margaret Bass were married on the 7th of June as well and they celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this year.
