Dad getting ready to pray for our Thanksgiving meal.

Had a chance to go see my parents over Thanksgiving and I just wanted to thank the Lord for my parents and all they have ever done for me in both word and example. I truly am a blessed man to have such Godly parents.

Most of you know my dad and how great of a preacher he is and probably most of you do not know much about my mom. She is a SAINT!!! 🙂 and she is the one who held our family together. My mom is funny. She is beautiful and delightful. She is wise and she is the worlds leading mulitasker. She was the one who dressed us and got us to church on weekends, fixed all our meals and made sure we always behaved.

I just want to tell you that I PRAISE GOD for my parents and I hope that I can be the same for my own three children.

Hopefully each of you will take time over these holidays to reflect on your families and to express your love and appreciation to them.

Happy 75th Birthday DAD

Mom, Pops and Merri Kerri at CPK…..
3 generations of extremely beautiful women!
In just a few days… on August the 3rd, my father will turn 75 years of age. As someone who has idolized my father from day one, it’s difficult to imagine that Pops can be 3/4 of a century young. Yes, I said young! For you see… in earthly terms, we see things from an earthly perspective. Yet from an ETERNAL viewpoint, 75 years is shorter than a blink of an eye. My dad is YOUNG in comparison to how long we will live in Heaven.

Recently, my mom and dad came down to L.A. from Fresno to perform a wedding and stopped by for a brief visit. We went to CPK… and I took a couple of pictures of Mom and Dad… Renee and Kerri… (Renee does NOT like to have her picture taken… so PLEASE don’t tell her that I posted her picture on the blog)

I’m going to do something I probably shouldn’t do… but I would like to invite you to send my dad a birthday card… I mean after all, how often do you get a chance to tell my dad “Happy 75th?”

Dad… Happy Birthday… I’m planning on coming to visit you on YOUR day… I have a special gift…. you’re going to like it… Can’t wait to see you… hug you… love you… and hand you your special gift… (remind me, and I might post what the gift is…. and yes it looks quite simple… but it’s a unique gift…hahahahahaha)

Dad… We love YOU… and Happy 75th!!!
