It snowed...........all day. Good times. I forgot what it looked like to be all white outside. It is just so breathtakingly beautiful. God is good.

I saw a great movie tonight. Its called Walk the Line - the story of Johnny Cash. It was a great movie. The story was great. The acting was great. Now you're thinking, "Allen where are you going with this?" I dunno.............I'm just gonna vent real quick. Here it goes.

Some dads just screw everything up. Some dads are terrible. They are rotten examples. They hold to this whole, " Do as I say, not as I do" philosophy. They get drunk. They beat their wives. They yell at their kids. They just..........ughhhhhhh!........I'm gonna say it. They suck! Its like, why? What are you doing? Why are you being such an idiot? Do you see what you are destroying?

If you had the amazing privilege of a good father, cherish those memories. Cherish those times with him. Cherish the walks, the talks, the laughs, the crys, the frustrations, the growing pains of a very precious relationship. You never get a second chance.

If you never had those opportunities and your dad was like the first example, determine by God's grace to do it right. Please. That is my prayer for myself. It is just so terrible to see what families have become nowadays. Its a shame.

Dude, what the heck does that have to do with the movie? I don't wanna explain - go watch it. Thanks for listening to the vent. I'm going to bed now.--------- Bottom line: My Heavenly Father has been so good to me that I can't complain. I am extremely grateful.
