A FATHER'S HEART (July 14, 2024)
Dear RamFam Kiddos, It's 4am. I'm in a hotel room just outside the town of my teen years, it's a little strange. I moved Ben into his apartment yesterday and tried to imagine one of my kids making the full circle to this geographical area from when I moved out here at 12 years old. There was a path where it would have been natural for you all to be here. In the 1990's when Elizabeth and Hosanna were born we lived and did ministry & work in this area along with my sister and mother and other family nearby, seeing this is where I grew up. But later we left for Jacksonville then Colorado. So, if we had of stayed here, I could see how you would have become part of this community, but this way is more unexpected for sure, especially for Ben. Anyway, just lots of big feelings. Just talked with Zan about tennis and pickleball and talked with Liz about her new house and life in COS. It was Eli's Gotcha Day. Mom & I are contemplating some big changes to her job ...
