a week with the man..

my dad, that is.. some of you who know him, might find it odd that he would vacation to the place that he probably works the most. well, it is a little odd, but when a guy wants to visit his son, he wants to visit his son. so he came, and believe it or not, he actually didnt work himself to death, we barely let him do any kind of work at all. he did a lot of thinking and planning for this summer, that is something that we can't stop him from doing.. it was a great week. not only was he here, but also mark tindell, and 2 ladies from melbourne, ute and denise came to visit.
it was really nice to get some time with my dad, away from home, and especially in a place that we both love so much. we got to brainstorm a lot and more importantly we just spent time together. not that i would ever need reinforcement, but this past week made me realize how blessed i am to have the parents that i do. i pray that my children will look at me the way i look at my parents. i give so much credit to them for who i am and where i am. they raised me to be a man of God, and to follow after His will, and they have been behind me through my journey. always supportive of me, especially now in my ministry here.
we had to say our goodbye's, but it was not so hard knowing that he will be back again in a little over a month with a group to start off our summer.
thanks dad for a great week
