Hang time with Dad

Today I actually get face time with my dad, the legendary “Happy Pastor” and revivalist.  It is amazing how time slips by you and weeks turn into years and even though Dad works with me on staff here I don’t get to spend enough “face” time with him.  He gets to sit in on a financial meeting (FUN FUN :) and I get to take him to the eye doctor and then we’re going to see a great friend and church partner who is now in a nursing home in Murfreesboro.  I look forward to seeing Jim but getting to hang with my dad is great.  I think that we all should really just stop sometimes and MAKE time to spend with our family.  The fact is that they’re gone before we know it and I don’t know about you but I want to absorb and invest everything that I can from and into the people that I love the most while God has them with me.  Just for the record..... Dad is in great shape!  He just came seem to get the idea that you need safety glasses when you weed eat 15 acres! So here we are going to see the eye doctor! (LOL)

Pastor Clay, does this mean your dad really is walking by faith? LOL. Say hello to brother Jim for us, I am certain it lifts his spirit to see you guys.
Oh yeah, spend that time with your dad, like you said time will get away and you cant get it back. I know, I have lost both my mom and dad. They were great parents, I was blessed by them as you are your's.
Just be sure and put those safety glasses on your dad so he does'nt fall in the pond trying to get something out of his eye LOL.
love ya man

Yes Pastor I think he should wear those safety glasses. It may very well keep your dad from falling in the pond trying to get something out of his eye LOL.
So spend that "hang time" with him. You know time is one of those things you never get back.
Love ya man
