All I can say is be prepared..It will definately make you want to grab your kids and tell them how much you love them...pretty strong message it it too not just for dads but everyone.John-Great video.......... This is exatly the kind of thing I worry about as a Dad. Every night before they go to bed, I take each of my kids individually, hug them tight, look them right in the eye and tell them how much I love them. I just want them to know that there is someone always there for them.Plus.... you never know what could happen...... If God takes me home unexpeectedly I want them to know without a doubt that Daddy loved them more than anything.This is also the reson I've become an advisor for our Church's middl school youth program. I know that some kids just don;t get what they need at home..... and maybe I can help just one...........I found that video vary hard to watch. Even though I believe I am raising my kids to know that we are always there for them and to never be afraid to talk to us about anything, there will always be that fear of " What if I failed". I have a daughter who is turning 15 on sunday and at times I feel for her. It is tough growing up in todays world. She doesnt get the lovey dubby affection from me anymore like my youngest daughter who is only 8. I do let her know that I still love her very much and give her the attention that she needs. I know my wife is doing a good job in raising them as well. My daughter talks to Kris about alot of things and she doesnt exclude me out of those. I prefer her to talk to her mom about the girl things, but she will talk to me about it afterwards. It is just always going to be the " WHAT IF" thing with me.

As far as the little old organ lady, we have a OB/GYN that is on staff. He is very good, but when I play all bets are off. I like to get that organ strung out! I've got over 2800 pipes and by golly, we gonna have church! I also get in there two or three days a week and practice. It's my stress relief. Loud and Proud!
*Gives a high five to everyone who's posted in here, so far* When I saw this topic created, I thought to myself "This one has potential for becoming a major flame war!" And I haven't even seen a wisp of smoke so far...God job, everybody!
If the Methodist had been in charge of "The Last Supper", we would be taking communion today with ice tea and casseroles!Quote from: GASlick on October 09, 2008, 05:17:05 PMAs far as the little old organ lady, we have a OB/GYN that is on staff.

I was expelled from Sunday School at 5 years old. My mother was politely asked not to bring me back as I asked too many questions!
I think that the biggest thing that I got taught (at school, at home, wherever) was that people should be kind and considerate towards each other and help out in any way possible, wherever and whenever you can.I plan to live life, enjoy it, and help others to enjoy theirs as best I can. I'm not gonna get a second shot at it so I may as well do my best now.
Dave, I think that's a shame that happened to you, especially at 5 years old . Enough said.
I'm an atheist and not ashamed of it.People need to get through life and cope with things in their own ways. I don't care what theology anyone believes, we're all people and we all deserve respect and compassion.I think that the biggest thing that I got taught (at school, at home, wherever) was that people should be kind and considerate towards each other and help out in any way possible, wherever and whenever you can.I plan to live life, enjoy it, and help others to enjoy theirs as best I can.

Stumpy..your answer about being considerate, helping others out, etc., is actually more spiritual then most people find in many churches today.
