I wish I had thought of writing something like this on Mother's Day, because I had two wonderful parents! Both are gone on into the presence of Christ now, but I remain very grateful for their influence on me and wish that I could thank them in person today. Most of all, other than the many sacrifices they made and the love they gave, I am thankful for the faith they passed on to me.

Father's Day is a special day. It is the Sunday the US Open golf tournament concludes. Who knows? Tiger may win again. I will watch to see. Today, I am thinking about my dad, who introduced me to the game. I wish that I could play just one more round with him! Of course, if that were possible, I would want one more after that. Here's to you, Dad! Thank you!
