Today is Father’s Day. I am grateful for my dad’s part in my life: bouncing me on the bed; wrestling in the living room; Saturday night table hockey; teaching me to soft-boil eggs; promoting me as a drummer; his pride and support for me as an adult when I became an ordained minister. He showed me that strong/kind, work/relax, laugh/cry can all coexist in the same person. He remains active to this day and continues to be central in the life of our family.
I received some of my abilities from him, including the courage to speak in public.
So today, as a change of pace for you and a nod of appreciation to my dad, I have attached the audio from my latest speaking engagement. Below is the link to a message I shared in the chapel gathering at Tyndale University College & Seminary on May 23.
Apologies in advance for some of the ‘inside’ stuff in the first few minutes as I was returning to a place where I had worked for more than seven years previously.
I hope you find my words about Last Leavings to be a blessing.

Great to hear you speak again and an excellent message too. And yes we have a pretty nice guy for a dad. 😊
Thanks Sanny! We’ve been given a privileged heritage.
Happy Father’s Day to my amazing husband. May God continue to bless you.
He blesses me through you.
To those of you who are missing your father today my prayers are especially for you.
