(so much easier for me to write than to believe and follow isn’t it?!) chris and i will continue praying that He shows his plan soon. we will also be sure to remember you tomorrow.

I pray for you as we remember and celebrate Fathers. You still ARE a Father, that will never change, and you are worth celebrating! I’ll never forget your talk with Ian after his baptism when you were down talking to him at his level and committing to courage and kindness. Thank you for demonstrating healthy fatherhood.
God bless you as you move through this time of change. I pray for you as you create your new normal.

Thanks for your honesty in your words. You are one of the best Dad’s we have ever witnessed in action! We will be praying for you on Father’s Day.

However, you get style points for the crickets. I like that.

I understand about the breathing and vertical and I’m sure Jennifer does. That can literally take all your energy.

I also understand about the entertainment. In a very short period of time, you went through a very concentrated and exhausting process of physical, mental, and spiritual trial. After that type of demanding experience, you need some time to catch up with yourself and for the tension to diffuse. Be gentle with yourself. Allow yourself some pacing, some time to consolidate everything that has happened in your mind and heart. Some of the best realizations and connections will happen when you are doing something totally unrelated. Hit “Pause”, stop for a moment, let everything gel, and talk with God for a moment. The indirect approach may help you find your way back to the direct over time.

Sorry…more unsolicited advice. I’ll stop now and just pray for you and Deb.
