Living Seasonally

Our ‘summer’ is finally beginning to feel like summer. Cooler this spring and now we’ve started hitting the 80s and 90s. So we’ll break out the popsicles and “swimming pool.”

All Things Father

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness,
But who can find a faithful man?

The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him. Proverbs 20:6-7

Today we say Happy Father’s Day to the fathers in our lives and thank God for them. I’m very blessed and proud that God gave Phil to me and to our children.

“Now you tell me, when a father goes ahead and washes diapers or performs some other mean task for his child, and someone ridicules him as an effeminate fool, though that father is acting in the spirit just described and in Christian faith, my dear fellow you tell me, which of the two is most keenly ridiculing the other? God, with all his angels and creatures, is smiling, not because that father is washing diapers, but because he is doing so in Christian faith. Those who sneer at him and see only the task but not the faith are ridiculing God with all his creatures, as the biggest fool on earth. Indeed, they are only ridiculing themselves; with all their cleverness they are nothing but devil’s fools. ” Martin Luther

Since I don’t have one of those cool widgets under each post like some blogs do, “If you like this post you’ll LOVE these posts” kind of a thing, but here are the related posts I like to remember for today:

A Good Daddy
Your Daddy The Hero

I also wanted to honor two other important fathers today, mine and Phil’s. And since it’s just too fun, I made a slideshow. I know you all just rolled your eyes, so you’re welcome.

(And I do apologize to Phil and his dad for my choice in music. It’s not at all appropriate for pictures of the two of you, but for me and my dad, it’s a special song since, well, he named me after it.)

So this is what happens when making a cup of coffee before you’ve had a cup of coffee. And it will probably take you about 5 minutes to realize you forgot to put the pot back after turning it on.

The best part of waking up, grinds all in your cup!
