| Introduction | Married to my sweetheart for 50 years. Have 9 children by birth and 8 by marriage (married to 8 of my kids). Our oldest son graduated to his eternal home in 2015. Have 38 grandchildren not to mention several already in heaven. I am truly a blessed man. |
| Interests | A while back a friend's wife asked me to prepare some "daily devotional" cards for his Christmas present. She combined my ramblings with cards from other folks and herself regarding fatherhood & manhood for him to read at work each day. It was a great way to communicate a special encouragement from the Lord to a loved one on a daily basis. Since I prepared those few 'thoughts' the Lord has continued to encourage me through my daily Bible reading with many other rhemas (revelations) on this subject. As I began to prepare those cards for her, the first verse that 'jumped off the page at me" was I Thessalonians 2:10-12. In my heart I heard the words "THIS IS WHAT A DAD DOES". I've continued to look for these nuggets for the past few years and began posting them to this blog in January 2011. My desire is that each of us continue to grow in your faith and become a master disciple maker, especially of your children. I realize that some of you may not be dads (yet) but someday you probably will be. Get ready now; you will be a much more successful father. |
