I’m not all that sharp but I have learned a few things from being a father of eight and husband of over twenty-five years. Left to themselves young boys usually do not do a very good job on cleaning the garage. They either fight with each other or they just frog around and do a halfway job.

Celebrating success is an important and fun part of being a good dad. Today Hannah and I went on a little date to the Secretary of State’s office to get her learner’s permit. She has studied diligently and she was ready for her written exam. There were over one hundred people waiting for service but they moved us efficiently through the lines like cattle on sale day.

[This is a letter to my grandson. I’m going to let you read it because there is something we can all learn from him].
Morning, little man. This weekend we were together more than we ever have been in your short four months on earth. I was speaking for a Father-Daughter Retreat at Camp Barakel. I don’t expect you to remember it so I want to tell you some of the things I noticed. Your mom and four aunts and I were there with Karilee, who is going to marry Uncle Chuk. Camp Barakel is the place where your mom and dad met a few years ago. (I saw your mom first and kinda’ nudged your mom and dad together. It wasn’t hard). [Read more…] about New Pic of Kyle Kenneth
The last two days have been glorious autumn days–gifts from the Lord. I was out taking a few minutes to write and read and drink in one of the most beautiful fall days ever. I could have taken a thousand stunning pictures of autumn glory. This was taken on the north end of the lake yesterday.
This evening after dinner I had some time before the evening meeting to paddle out on a silky purple lake to enjoy the afterglow of the sunset. Later, in the session, I was able to share the powerful story of Wilfred Grenfel. We are ministering to a great group of young men and women. Many of them are involved in exciting ministried to others.
Last weekend I spent at Camp Barakel with Holly, Heidi, Hannah, Hope, Elizabeth (Kyle’s wife), and baby Kyle Kenneth. Sunday we drove back to Chicago, Monday to the Northwoods to speak at a staff retreat and the Eternal Impact Summit. This morning I made the four-mile run around the lake. This is an example of what I feasted my spirit on as I ran.
