We hope this brings peace to your heart this holiday season.

MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven’s stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear.
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can’t count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Golf is a funny game. A very humbling game. Been playing for 46 years. Some days it’s like I never played before. 😂 Other days are fine. Today I had a hole in one!!!! Damn lucky.

When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart and you shall see that in truth, you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

To our deceased fathers:

Even though you are no longer here with us, your love and guidance still light our way. We carry your memory always, and on this Father's Day, we celebrate the man who shaped our lives with strength, wisdom and love. I thought memories would fade, but instead they grow stronger. You may be gone from this world Dad, but you'll never be gone from our hearts.

Time goes by quickly. Cherish it while they are still with us.
Happy Father's Day to all.
