My first blog...


It is my understanding that this is where I put down my thoughts and people who are interested get the opportunity to climb inside my head. Interesting concept.

This past week has been a difficult one. I have thought a lot about my dad and what a wonderful man he was and how much I relied on him. Being the Godly man that he was, he helped me form my relationship with my heavenly father as well.

Someone recently told me that I will never find a man that is good enough because of something my father did to me in my past. The only thing I can think of that my father did was portray the perfect man. Now I know that no man is perfect except Christ, but dad was as close to perfect as a man could get. No man has been able to come close. I hope this is not really the case.

There used to be a country song that said something about "close enough to perfect for me." I think that is what I'm looking for. He would be Mr. Right. (sigh) ... wondering if he's even out there anywhere...

Hey! I know what you mean about your dad. Mine too was pretty close to "perfect". He's been gone for almost 3 years now--hard to believe. He died 2/10/03 and we buried him on Valentine's day. Still rough on my mom. But on Mr. Right--he could be out there. All you can do is put it in God's hands and try. Mine wasn't perfect, but we made it work for almost 26 years. Lost him 9 months after dad.

Greetings...my dad was also very special me. I felt like a part of me died when he died but I later came to realize that he was still very much a part of me. I could see it in the things that he thought me to love. He was a wonderful example for me and he presence will live within me forever. A father's love is very special and I feel that kind of love from our Lord.
