[HKMk23]

My son called and bawled me out for not going to church, but I actually had to turn two invitations down.

This YOUR son? Perhaps he's forgotten that YHVH makes house calls, or that His BEST works are MOST often done OUTSIDE the walls of the church. Wherever He shows up is the right place place to be; even if a pillow is involved.

Now, if I could get my brother to embrace the concept of showing up...

Stayed at my Mother's place for eight hours, yesterday, thinking he'd be there about 3:00pm. Finally left at 9:30 and he still hadn't pulled up.

WE had a good time and good food, but the kids were disappointed at not seeing their Uncle.

Foud out this morning he got there unscathed at 10:45. THAT boy!

I like your take on things HKMk23.

Yes, my son. He did the same thing last year. I was not ready for it then. This year, he had his wife make the call, but when I asked for him, he berated me. But there is a consolation: His birthday is four weeks away Thursday, and I will send him a gift and a card. In the card will be a note.

I suspect he feels it is his “duty” to “call me to repentance,” and that’s OK. But there are 50-51 other weeks in the year that he could do that.

Just sayin’.

I miss my own mother, who died when my son was 17. And I miss my dad who died when I was 17. I honor them both and always will.

I know Mrs. HKMk23 had a very good Mom’s Day, because you are such a good son, and therefore, a good spouse and dad.
