Father’s Day 2021

Today is a day to celebrate Dads! I was blessed to have a wonderful, loving, FUN-loving dad – and then again blessed by having a Godly, caring step-father who loved our Mom. I celebrate them both today.

How I remember him.
John – thinking things over!
Dad and me – swimming at its finest!
Dad – taking a nap at Grama’s house!

Also celebrating my brother-in-law Paul – as he and Kath and I are heading for a vacation. He has been a wonderful loving example to his family.

And here’s to my son Nate – who couldn’t love his girls more. And I couldn’t love HIM more!

And my son-in-law Matt – who works hard and loves my family all the time, every day. A wonderful example, one that I for all he does to support, teach, and lead.

And to God above, who teaches all of us what the word FATHER even means.

Artist’s interpretation

I will share Micah’s message RECALL -After his resurrection Jesus revealed himself as alive – and he still reveals himself to mankind. A recall is for something defective; not working properly. WE don’t work properly! Jesus loves you, cares for you and wants you to serve Him. He KNOWS the needs. He recalled the disciples and pulled them back to Him. He began a good work in us and will see it through. He invites us to come to Him; we should come boldly and seek Him. He still calls us. God looks at us through the righteousness of Jesus and wants to fellowship with us. Stay in His presence – When you listen, you will be blessed!

Micah from Old Mahoning

On this day in 1840 Samuel Morse patented the telegraph; in 1863 West Virginia was admitted as the 35th state of the Union. President Andrew Jackson announced the Alaska Purchase in 1867; in 1944 Nazis began mass extermination of the Jews at Auschwitz (unthinkable – cannot even imagine); and in 1975 Jaws (movie) was released. Brian Wilson (Beach Boys!) was born in 1942 and Nicole Kidman in 1967.
