My life s been full to say the leasGt. It has been full with a wide variety of things. Yet there is a common thread through it all, a common purpose, a calling, a reason to drive on, a reason to breathe. One thing that stands over and under all else.
Being your Dad. That is my calling, my main, my heart. All the rest is just noise along the path.
Sure, there have been interesting things, good things.
Saving lives and property as a fireman.
Building million dollar business's and technology from nothing but an idea.
Teaching dozens to hundreds of people how to farm for health and profit.
Patenting new ideas around technology.
Preaching to groups of people hungry for the truth.
Walking in God's power to heal the sick instantly.
Seeing angels and hearing the voice of God.
Standing up for truth and right in a world upside down.

I could go on and on with the things Gods grace has allowed me to accomplish through his blessings... But no. None of that is life. None of that is who I am.
I am first and foremost your Dad.
My heart constantly rejoices and bleeds for you, each and all of you. Not a day has passed when you were not on my mind (except for a few years in insanity on my part). Every major decision was made with your best interest in mind. Every compromise in my own life was for your benefit.
Have I been perfect? Of course not. I failed at so many things, missed so many opportunities. I may not be a great Dad, I am human and weak, constantly making mistakes. But I can assure you, my child, there is no greater weight on my heart than you.
I have no ambition to accomplish great things myself. That's all noise. My heart is to enable you to do what God has for you. For you to find your path in his will. For your life to be all that he wants you to be.
That is my prayer. I don't always do the right things, say the right things, but I always, every second of my life... Hold you as the most precious gift, and responsibility. If I had done nothing in my life but you... It would be enough.
I love you.
