As I reflect on life as a dad my hope is that somehow through my life that others might catch a glimpse of the fatherly love of the One that I seek to reflect.
I made this little video awhile ago using Windows Movie Maker. Most of the pictures are from Door County, WI. The song is a David Crowder tune. My prayer is that people would see the light and not run from it.
I recently had it explained to me that when the white light that is emitted from the sun hits water droplets in the atmosphere, it refracts, and out of the full spectrum of light that results blue is the highest frequency of light that our eyes can see. This explanation scientifically made sense to me. It is what I learned in school, way back when. However, when I asked Noah why he thought the sky is blue, his answer impressed me much more than anything found in a text book. He told me that blue is his favorite color and that God made the sky blue just for him.
I have a beautiful wife and two great kids whom I love tremendously. I've chosen the road less traveled and am investing full time into raising our children. This allows my wife the opportunity to become an incredible family practice doctor. My hope is that someday the Lord would use me in full-time ministry, but as I write this I think that that someday is actually today and that "full time ministry" is what every servant of Jesus is called to whether that is to the poor in India, your next door neighbor, or your wife and kids. So, I'm using this opportunity to be a full-time dad as ministry training. I can't think of any more important ministry than raising your own children up to know and love God. What I'm realizing though is that my kids have a lot to teach me about life, faith, and God. I love my life. It's challenging, but so rewarding and fun. I'm blessed to have a wonderful family, but more than that I am blessed to be in a relationship with the Creator of the universe, my Savior and my King.
