My father just had his gallbladder removed yesterday, and is kicking his legs up right now in a small South Georgia hospital, probably watching the news and calling family and friends to check up on them. He's reached the half-century mark and will be celebrating yet another birthday next month. He reads my blog regularly (at least, that's what he tells me) so I thought I would publicly say "I love you, Dad" not merely to cheer you up as you lie there in pain, but also because it's true and it needs to be said. You are a great man, and have a father's heart, and for that I am truly grateful. I consider myself blessed to be your son, and I know that in God's sovereignty, all things work together for good, which means I am my father's son for the holy and righteous and gracious purposes of my heavenly Father. My dad loves Jesus Christ and is very mindful of his constant need for God's grace in his life, which is what endears him so much to me. In that regard, more than any other, I want to be just like my dad.

Hey Dad, get plenty of rest, watch your diet, and exercise a little more. I want your grandkids to know you and love you like I do.
