I said Happy Father's day to a dad yesterday and he gave me the quick reminder that for a dad "every day is Father's Day." The job is never done. It is a great job and I am happy for it!
As a pastor I hear a lot of requests for prayer. I am more than happy to pray with people and for their needs. But I wonder what the disciples had to be thinking, as they were eavesdropping on Jesus' prayers to his heavenly Father. I wonder if they began to realize what Jesus was doing for them over those short few years.
Jesus proved he had power to walk on water, command storms to be still, and multiply bread to feed thousands. Jesus healed the blind, lame, deaf and leprous. No miracle was out of Jesus grasp if only he could make it in time.
One of my all-time favorite movies is A Christmas Story. One of the most impressionable scenes on the movie is the “Triple Dog Dare” at the outdoor pole. Remember that one? I can’t help but laugh as I write.
