The Lord corrects the one he loves, just as a father

Corrects a child he cares about.

The command says, “You must respect your father and mother.” 

This is the first command that has a promise with it.

Eph. 6:2 ERV

Fathers, don’t make your children angry, but raise them with 

the kind of teaching and training you learn from the Lord.

Eph. 6:4 ERV

A dad is someone who holds you when you cry,

Scolds you when you break the rules, 

Shines with pride when you succeed, 

And has faith in you even when you fail.

- Nishan Panwar

It is the way a father holds his child’s hand that

Makes his child feel safe. It is the way a father

Looks at his child makes his child feel cared for.

But most of all, it is the very presence of a father

To a child that makes the child feel blessed.

- Anonymous

My father used to play with my brother and me in the yard.
Mother would come out and say, "You're tearing up the grass."
"We're not raising grass," Dad would reply.  "We're raising boys."

Are you waiting for success to arrive,

Or are you going out to find where it is hiding?

Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end.
It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing;
it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it.

Sometimes you don’t realize your

Own strength until you come face

To face with your greatest weakness.

- Susan Gale

Anyone can give up,

It’s the easiest thing in the world to do.

But to hold it together when everyone

Else would understand if you fell apart,

That’s true strength.

- Anonymous

Life will break you.

Nobody can protect you from that,

And living alone won’t either,

For solitude will also break you with its yearning.

You have to love. You have to feel.

It is the reason you are here on earth.

You are here to risk your heart.

You are here to be swallowed up.

And when it happens that you are broken,

Or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near,

Let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the

Apples falling all around you in heaps,

Wasting their sweetness.

Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

- Louise Erdrich

052819 Sonny James History

Sonny James

From 1960 to 1979, he spent 57 weeks at the top of the charts, 

according to Billboard and the Country Music Hall of Fame. 

James was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2006.

James was born James Hugh Loden in Hackleburg, Alabama, 

and was already singing for an audience at age four with other 

members of his family. 

This led to the family hosting a radio show in Alabama.

Music was a large part of his life, as he took part in fiddle 

competitions as a teenager.

After serving in the military, and already a local celebrity, 

he signed with Capitol Records, taking the stage name Sonny James.

His biggest hit, "Young Love," hit the top of the country and Disk Jockey

charts in 1957. (Oddly enough, a second version of that song recorded 

by Tab Hunter also found success, and both recordings were among

 Billboard's top 10 singles of 1957.)

James would hit No. 1 on the country chart a staggering 23 times in all.

He also had a streak of 16 straight No. 1 country hits from 1967 to 1971, 

including "Need You" and "Here Comes Honey Again." 

That record stood until 1985, when the band Alabama broke it.

Billboard called him "one of the first artists in the (country) format to 

consistently see his records cross over to the pop charts."

"Throughout his life he has stood always at the ready to share a funny story,"

"Accompanied by his boyish smile, this man of deep faith never failed to 

cultivate his unique gift of making every friend feel as if they were his 

greatest friend every step of the way."
