Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day Dad, Grandpa Tim,  Grandaddy Warlick, Papaw Vaughn and to the father of my children, Anthony!!
Each of you are amazing examples of love, and our families are blessed to have you......

For the man whose arms are strong enough to carry the children, whole worlds, the warm, pulsing life-prayers of a woman.

For the man strong enough to take his life and lay it right down with wide open laps and storybooks and paying the stacks of bills and long bike rides and games of UNO and plunged toilets and even longer hours and hauled bags of garbage and laughing tag at twilight and then, night upon thousandth night, kneeling by bedsides, head bowed, heart taking on frame before God and family,
the way a real man leads.
For the man who dies a bit more
everyday,
falls to the ground,
makes his life this field
to grow all our lives towards

Father God.

Blessings on each of you, beautiful friends…

All is grace,
A Holy Experience
