Father's Day

A young father spoke in church today and said that fatherhood had changed who he was. That it had re-centered his values. I thought that was insightful.

I asked Eldon if he was glad he had become a father. He thought for a minute and then slowly declared, "My kids have given me many proud moments."  The latest proud moment was having his two oldest sons want to spend a day together biking up Mt. Saint Helens in the freezing cold and rain and enjoying being together.

All of you kids do things and make decisions that make us proud! I am very proud of the way you're all good parents to your children.
