My Daddy...

My Dad is a great man. As I get older I come to appreciate more and more all of the things he has done for me.
I always had at least one parent at every activity I was involved in while growing up. In high school about half of our soccer games were out of town. But you could guarantee that my dad was there and I would hear his voice cheering from the sidelines.
My Dad taught me about finances, and in high school he helped me invest some money in the stock market. It turned out not to be the best fund ever, but I still learned a ton.
I know to this day, even though I am quickly leaving my twenties, that I could still crawl up in my Dad's lap. My Daddy taught me what love is and what it looks like.
My Dad isn't perfect and wouldn't claim to be, but I am grateful and blessed to be his child and be raised by his hand.

I love you Daddy!

As I write this my Dad is almost 1500 miles away, waiting to have his chest opened up so they can do double bypass heart surgery. Please pray for my Dad, his successful surgery, and easy recovery. Also, pray for my mom who lost her father shortly after bypass surgery, and goes into this with a heavy heart. Thanks friends!

"I lift my eyes up to the hills-

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the LORD,

the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip-

he who watches over you will not slumber;

indeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD watches over you-

the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

The LORD will keep you from all harm-

he will watch over your life;

the LORD will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.

Psalm 121

Most you will not know this, but Caleb is scheduled to have surgery on Monday morning. He is having a revision of his circumcision. :( I am (understandably) nervous and not exactly looking forward to this. But we have been told by the doctors that the earlier the better, easier, and safer. He's been running a fever the last few days, and if that keeps up then we'll have to postpone the surgery, and I REALLY don't want that to happen.

This procedure is supposedly easy, fast, and uncomplicated, but I am still really nervous. Please pray that he will be okay, and the surgery will go as planned. With our crazy year, and it being so late I'm not sure when we would get it rescheduled.

The psalm above is the one I am reading over, and praying over Caleb. So,if you would, please go back up to the top and join me in praying this over my son.
