Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my dad, who is receiving this many thousand miles away. The support and love I have grown up with and enjoyed as a man are significant factors in anything good I have done or that is in me. I appreciate and love my mom and dad. And, this Father's Day, I especially want my dad to know I love him and am thankful for him.

Elise, Mom and Dad on the Island of Rab

Mom and Dad just visited Croatia in May. We had a wonderful time together and were able to enjoy a couple of day trips, including Plitvice and the Island of Rab. The picture at the top of this blog is from our trip to Plitvice. More from those trips are shown in this post.

Plitvice has miles of running water connecting several lakes

Al Mohler wrote a blog post yesterday, "Watch Out for Myths About Fatherhood."  It is an excellent article underscoring the importance dads have in the fabric of families and society. Mine has had that important, positive impact and continues to. As the father of an 18 year old and a 16 year old, I need God's wisdom to be the father they need.
