To the Ball

-
Hannah and I went to the Father Daughter Ball in Duluth last night. We had a blast. She beamed. It was beautiful to see so many dads affirm and bless their daughters. The ballroom was packed with young princesses -- and old kings.

We laughed a lot -- and most of us Dads ran out of steam before the kids did. Today, I'm a Happy Pappy. Definitely worth the sore foot sacrifice.

    Hi, I am a friend of Keetha's from Laotto, IN. I was wondering if Tim & Leann Conner are a part of your church? We were in Guatemala a couple of times with teams from Wisconsin and I think they said Hayward. Anyway, if they are a part of your church, please give our greetings. Kathy (& Phil) Troyer

    Hello, I'm Keetha, Kathy Troyer's friend. :-)

    I was wondering if the "ball" in Duluth last night was a purity ball? If so - - Greg took our youngest daughter, Korie, to one of those a few years back and it was very special time for the father's and daughters who attended.

    Great idea.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
