To All the Fathers... Though None of you Are...

Well happy Father's Day/Lauren's b'day/Zach's b'day!
Today was my first day in the AO Sunday school. Older college kids please do not take offense... y'all are awesome and so is Charles, but it's a big change that's going to take a while for me to totally love. I miss Riley... *sniffles*
Anyhow, this morning at church during the service I saw this adorable little boy who had this cute little expression on his face, and I thought about how people truly are God's greatest creation. Granted we can be stupid idiots, but we were created in His image, and He is the most beautiful thing out there. More beautiful than the sunset or anything else. A sunset is gorgeous and captures my heart... but can a sunset giggle, smile, or make any sort of expression? Can a sunset love or feel any other kind of emotion? Anyhow, I just thought I would share that new perspective with y'all... funny that I think about this after Charles points out in where in the Bible it says we are NOTHING... which is also true. It's a great paradox.
Tell your daddies you love them today!

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
-from John Mayer's "Daughters"

yeah, I welcomed the change when I got in there, I was sick of the way we did things. Too much goofoff and such. You'll get used to it, though, especially cos of how DEEP Charles cuts into it.
