Today I remembered why I have such respect for my father and why he has been such a big influence in my life. The girls in Ian's Sunday School class were interviewing people about their Christian faith. Ian asked Dad if he would mind being interviewed - and obviously he didn't mind. So he was asked how long he'd been a Christian, and my Dad replied along the lines that his faith was constantly changing, and used the piece of elastic cliche to describe his faith. I've been thinking about it all day - which is a big strange really. But the elastic cliche is a pretty good way to describe faith. I think I'll use it myself! My Dad has been a constant source of embarrassment to me: from his long winded explanations, and his continued teachings to his orange sneakers purchased because they were on special. But he's been a constant in my life and a source of strength to me. He's also generous and kind and extremely loyal. I love him dearly and I'm very lucky to have him as my dad! And this photo is slightly dated - it was taken over 40 years ago.
