LETTERS FROM DAD


I had a meeting today with a bunch of great guys (about 15 of them) about a new ministry we heard about called "Letters From Dad." It's based on a book written by Greg Vaughn, who found some old items from his deceased grandfather in a fishing tackle box and re-discovered his family in it. It is a moving story and a great book. We're planning on being part of this ministry in early 2009 at our church - and inviting hundreds of men on the journey with us.
We all believe it will be a powerful time in the investment of men's lives as husbands, fathers and sons. Thru some amazing teaching, we are then asked to write legacy letters to our wives - to each of our children - to our parents - and then, a final letter, much like the 12 miners in West Virginia did when they were trapped in a mine with little oxygen a few years ago. What will your legacy be? And how will you express it to those you deeply love?
Imagine if YOU were to get a letter from your own father, expressing his deep devotion, love, care and dream for you. No matter your age, what would you give for a letter like that? Priceless.
It's going to be one night a month for four months, February thru May (last Monday of each month). Can't wait. If you're nearby, hope you'll join us.
And be blessed.

This marries up perfectly with One Month to Live. Legacy.
