Once, when I was in the seventh grade, my dad, my brother, and I were traveling from Oak Ridge, TN to Jellico, TN.
My dad was going to preach, and I was going to play
the guitar and my older brother the saxophone.
We got into a discussion, I will never forget.
Dad is a student of the

One day a boy came to his father and said, "Dad, it’s just six weeks before I will be going to college and I was wondering if you were going to give me a going-away present. If you are, I have a suggestion to make." The father smiling answered, ’What is your suggestion, son?" The boy’s eyes

My dad had a set of metallic dog figures and used to amaze us kids by putting the dogs on a table then moving a powerful magnet under the table. The "dogs" would move as the magnet drew them to itself.
Just so, Jesus,

I heard about a woman whose dad owned a grocery store when she was growing up, and several times a week the milkman would come to deliver milk to the store, and every time he saw her he would say, "How is my little Miss America doing today? So beautiful, so talented." Everyday, he would stack the

I remember one winter my dad needed firewood, and he found a dead tree and sawed it down. In the spring, to his dismay, new shoots sprouted around the trunk. He said, “I thought sure it was dead. The leaves had all dropped in the wintertime. It was so cold that twigs snapped as if there were no

On our vacation one year, we borrowed my dad’s boat and went up to a beautiful mountain lake in Western Arkansas. It was narrow with fingers reaching into the mountains and piny woods. It was beautiful.
The problem arose when we decided to head back to the boat landing. We missed a turn and headed

My Dad wasn’t a very good father to me or my sisters. He drank too much and got angry at our Mum far too often. At 5 years old while my Dad had a roaring argument with my Mum, I decided to swing my fists at him and tell him I hated him and tried to push him away from my Mum.
As a kid, I remember

My dad used to tell a story about an old Georgia redneck who would routinely head out into the swamp and return with a boat full of fish—more than anyone could conceivably catch, even in a long day of fishing with rod and reel. Well, in the course of time, his exceptional good luck caught the

I remember when I was fishing with my dad sailing into Yarmouth in the fog, I can’t remember sailing into Yarmouth without fog but that’s a different story. And we’d use our radar as much as we could but we would put a man out on the bow to keep a look out for the light from the buoys. The

How many of you dad’s have one of those world’s greatest dad hats or t-shirts? Probably all of us do. But have you really thought about that? 20 shirts on the rack, 2 Wal-Marts in Conway, what 5 in LR, 2 NLR. Ok that’s 10 in this general area. Lets just say there are a thousand Wal-Marts.

The first time I helped my dad prep a car for painting I got the glamorous job of wet sanding it by hand. I got done, went in the house and my dad said, "Are you done?"
I got my usual senior high ego in a twist and said, "Of course. It wasn’t that hard." After lunch, my dad went out to look at the

We should not be frustrated by mysteries; we should delight in them. We don’t have to figure everything out. In an essay titled “Meditation in a Toolshed,” C. S. Lewis describes an experience he had inside a dark toolshed. The sun was brilliantly shining outside, but inside the shed only a

When I was about 15 years old, my Dad worked part time for a mortuary. The funeral director sent Dad to Detroit to get the new hearse for them. As we drove cross country, I would roll out my sleeping bag in the back compartment of the hearse. This resulted in several interesting events. One was

I can remember another time when Dad and I went to lunch at Wimpy’s. Wimpy’s was one of those hole in the wall kind of establishments that served the basic hot dogs and hamburgers. It was found on the south side of Lansing in a predominately African-American neighborhood.
