Father's Day and Hitting the Road
I hope all you dad's out there had as good a "Father's Day" as I did! Luke and Juliana came over and spent the night with us.....as a married couple, which was weird.....and we had a great visit. Matt and Liz are coming next weekend, Lord willing. Jan and I got to have lunch with her mom and dad on Sunday, along with Jimmy and Andee. It was kinda retro.........like when Jimmy and I were dating the sisters many years ago. No comments on the "many" aspect of that sentence. The only downer was I didn't get to see my dad. Speaking of dad, please keep him in your prayers as he was admitted to the hospital yesterday. Nothing major, but anytime you are in the hospital, it's stressful. GET WELL and GET HOME, Dad! We LOVE you! I know "Father's Day" is not a good day for everybody, and I'm sorry.
But for me, it's for sure one of the best days of the year! I get to reflect on what a great dad I had, and I get to be reminded how lucky I am to be the father of two wonderful sons.

I am posting this from the road..........Tulsa to be exact. Or should I say Seattle?
Tulsa has had more rain in the past month than any other month in recorded history, so I am told. It has rained off and on since I have been here, and everything is SO green. And muggy. YUCK! Summer is here for sure.

I am presently reading John Ortberg's "If You Want to Walk on Water, You Gotta Get Out of the Boat". It's my first Ortberg book to read, but it won't be the last. If you haven't read it, pick it up! Matt gave me another McManus book for Father's Day, and I am excited to get into it next.

Last night, I went to Steve Smith's house and watched 3 Nooma video's by Rob Bell.
Is that guy something else or what? The 3 we watched were titled "Luggage", "Dust", and "You". Some of the material was directly from "Velvet Elvis", but it was good to hear him tell it instead of reading it.
If you haven't ever seen any of Rob's videos, I urge you to order some.
I would love to hear him in person. Maybe we can get him at Harding. :)
Have a great rest of the week!

I've read everything Ortberg has written -- he is definitely one of my favorites. His best (IMHO) is "The Life You've Always Wanted."
I have read all of Ortberg too! He is one of my favortites. My previous minister (the one whom I loved) said he was Dallas Willard- light!
I am up for a road trip to hear Rob Bell....anytime!!
I might be tempted to visit Arkansas if I could hear Rob Bell!
I have only read a couple of Ortberg's books but I really liked them.
"Dust" is my favorite Nooma. I just posted a few days ago some good information about Rob Bell's new speaking tour called The Gods Aren't Angry. If you'd like to see him live tickets are on sale and I put a link in the post. Although I'm not sure how close he's coming to Arkansas.
Billy, thanks for the info and link about Rob's tour! If I wasn't headed to Africa about that time, I would try and go hear him in Kansas City.
Come back more often!

Sorry I missed you in Tulsa on Wednesday. Wish I had known you were in town. Hope your trip was a success.
Chad, sorry I missed you too! I wasn't sure I was going to be at Park Plaza, or I would have given you a head's up. It was great to see a bunch of Harding folks there.
Have a great summer, and come see us!
