Church, of course, first. Several years ago, when .22 ammo was fairly scarce, I began giving a 50 round box of .22lr to the Dads who came on Father's Day. I was able to buy some and had some squirreled away so it was a big hit. Remember, I'm in rural Texas.

This year I will do it again and provide AA batteries for those who don't want/need ammo. This is so much better than a sentimental bookmark. Who uses bookmarks anymore?

My oldest son is taking his family of four children to Disney World and my youngest son and his wife were killed in a car accident 5 years ago. Married in July, they were killed in April, so no orphans left, thank the Lord.

I foresee a trip to a local eatery at which we are regulars and well known by the waitstaff and owner. It will be bittersweet, but a wealth of friends acquired over the years helps sustain us.

Happy Father's Day to all here. May it be a day of rich fellowship with family for each of you.

Bro. Dave
