Tools for the Trade


"If you are a father, you are a builder
and your children will become what you've made.

Please do your best, and please don't forget,
God gave you the tools for the trade!"
"Your knees are for playin', and they are also
for prayin' that God will watch over your child.."


"God gave you eyes to see
when your child might go wrong
and feet to lead them safely through..."

My own father helped lead me in the right direction by making certain guidelines for me as I was growing up and I am so thankful for this...I see it so clearly now that I am "on the other side of things"!

Aww...an adorable Papaw and Sarah Morgan moment....


The bold, green words above were penned by Steve Chapman...Another lady and I sang this song Sunday morning. It was chocked full of instruction for fathers and also reminders of the great responsibility and privilege we have to take care of children and to train them.


Silly daddy ....he knows how to have fun! That's what makes him a great daddy!


Ethan sang for Sunday School..."He's Got the Whole World in His Hands"
1. The whole world
2. Mommies and the Daddies
3. The Yittle (little) Bitty Babies
Then he tagged it with "Happy Father's Day to Yew (you)" --

I sure enjoyed Ethan's song. I can see Grandpa R.B. was enjoying it very much too!
