Grandpa and Grandma

I have many titles: the world’s greatest fisherman, pastor, the world’s worst clarinet player, Mr., husband, and Dad. My favorite title is Grandpa. In a couple of days, Patty and I are flying to Oahu to spend ten days with nine of our grandkids. I am anticipating having a very enjoyable time. I will get to fish with my grandkids, hunt with them, eat with them, swim with them, watch TV with them, and talk to them. I watch and listen to them all the time. While with them, I am trying to figure out who they are, their strengths and weaknesses, what they might do in life, and how they will serve the Lord. And I pray non-stop for them that God will bless them, protect them, guide them, and make them a mighty warrior for Jesus Christ. These kids have a great heritage; their grandparents on both sides of the family are Christians, their parents are Christians, and they are being raised and trained very well. I will pray a lot for them and their parents, but I am also praying that God will give Patty and me great wisdom and opportunities to influence them to be champions for Jesus. Here is a picture of one of my grandsons fishing with me the last time we were in Hawaii.
