HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
To dads everywhere, as well as to all who play the "father" role in someone's life, whether you're biologically the dad or not, Happy Father's Day!

For me, may today be a day of reflection. Am I really being the dad, the husband, and the man I am supposed to be? Am I really always modeling what I should model? Am I consistently being the godly man I want to be? Am I really seeking, discovering, and following God's call on my life?

Big stuff, this is. Worthy of much more than just one day a year but I want to give it extra attention this day.

We're all pulled in a lot of directions in life today, forcing us to constantly make choices. Sometimes we like to say that we don't really have choices in various things such as how we spend our time but, fact is, we do. Those choices live out our priorities and that is very critical.

Switching gears a bit, I heard that close to $10 billion will be spent on Fathers Day in the US this year. That is a lot of dough and we all love gifts, we all love thoughtful recoginition. But $10 billion? Wow. That money could sure go a long way in helping others -- those who really need it.

Finally and perhaps most importantly on Father's Day, this is a day for me to give thanks. God blesses us all individually and for me those blessings have included a wonderful son and wife. I thank God for both of them and I pray that I can always fulfill my responsibilities to them.
