Father's Day Coming Up

A little over a week from now will be Father's Day and I assume the question will be, "what do you want for Father's Day dad?" Then again, I may be wrong - but, assuming that they do - what do I really want? I don't need any material things that I can think of. What I want for Father's Day I already have. For example: I just got through listening to a CD given to me by a wonderful young lady several years ago. It is called "Butterfly Kisses," and it is about a man watching one of the greatest gifts God ever gave, a daughter, grow up. It caused my memories to flood back over time, and what a wonderful gift that is. This young lady still encourages me to move on and created new memories today, for tomorrow.
Another gift that I already have is being brought to me by technology, a cell phone. This technology provides me with opportunities to call and talk to one of the finest young men that I know. To call and discuss the latest adventure or discovery that I have experienced or read about. He always adds to the event in such a way that makes it all that much more exciting. What more could I want on Father's Day? Well, maybe a gift card from Kalati Brothers or Starbucks, but other than that - I pretty much have it all. I am blessed and most grateful.

South Anchorage Assembly is celebrating 40 years of ministry in Anchorage this week. It is nice to see Rich & Lisa and Larry & and Dawn back from the lower 48. They are here for the celebration. There was a great S.A.A. picnic today that was very well attended. Congratulations to a great church.
