Father's Day Reflections

Living large today! I love Dad's day!!!!

We're using a gift certificate someone gave us to go out to Fogo De Chao tonight. I've never been, but I heard it is a carnivore's paradise!

Really enjoyed sharing a message on parenting today. We don't talk about that much at NCC because we're 73% single twenty-somethings, but I felt like it was a great change of pace. My greatest desire is to be a great dad, but it is also my greatest challenge!

We ended some of our services with The Lord's Prayer. It was so meaningful to pray that prayer today! Really grateful for my earthly father and my Heavenly Father. Don't forget to wish God a Happy Father's Day!

For what it's worth, I ended my message by inviting people to enter into a relationship with their Heavenly Father. The adoption papers are already drawn up! I think we fail to appreciate what an incredible promise we have in John's Gospel: to as many as have received Him, to them he gave the power to become children of God. What an offer! Nothing like being part of God's family and calling Him Father!

Props to Dads!

Fogo will undoubtedly be catering the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. I almost killed myself with beef the time I ate there.
