We continue to be amazed by God's ability to bless and inspire us through so many young people. Although we did not have the privilege of being your children's pastor, we are nonetheless proud of what God is doing through your life. It is also great to see you enjoying the experience of fatherhood. Ain't God good? 8o] Thanks, Eric.

Thank you for your sacrifices. Grady,

It must be with that same perspective, yet on a supernatural level, that God can see us as pure and holy when we run to Him for reconciliation. I am a son most blessed to have a father who can so easily find my successes and praise my accomplishments, beyond any shortcomings (like that Calculus class in college.) It was such a rich experience to share my first Father's Day with you. Even without a physical connection, I felt like we were there with you. How special! I love you very much, Dad. Your example as a father is helping me raise Andrew. While I feel I am far from perfect, I have learned what it is like to see a child with the eyes of a father.
