    We honor fathers best by recognizing the critically important work God has given them.

    Father’s Day is a strange holiday. Like Mother’s Day, it’s a civil holiday, established by a Resolution of Congress and by an annual Presidential Proclamation.

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

He was cremated, but the organist brought the wrong Cole Porter Sheet Music. Instead of playing, ...read more
