How cool is our God? is’nt He huge? He is so much bigger than the little box or boxes that we put him in.

What insight! Makes me think about the life and teachings of Jesus. . . One day the Pharisees asked Him, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus told them, “The Kingdom of God isn’t ushered in with visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is among you.” (Luke 17:20-21,NLT) It’s not a place far off in the future. The Kingdom of God is present, living among us now. May we live accordingly.

Thank you for this post Tom. I have read it three or four time since Toll passed, and every time it makes me smile. I miss your Father, but I will never forget the man of God he was. Thanks again…. this still will not be my last time reading this post, I am sure of it.

I’m so glad you shared this.

Comment on Father’s Day by Patti (your sister)

Patti (your sister) — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:44:13 +0000

I, too, celebrated this Father’s Day without my father for the first time. A friend placed flowers on the altar in honor of my Dad, and I appreciated the thought, but…

So instead of spending time with my Dad, or even choosing cards, I flew with my sons from Northern California to Southern, and spent the next three days cleaning out the home in which I grew up.

So what is Father’s Day like for me now? There’s something missing – yet, I am filled with an immense amount of gratitude. I had a dad who loved me, who prayed for me. Mom, Tom, and I were absolutely the most important people in his life – second only to God. I’ve thought of the times Dad prayed with us, listened to us, sang with us, played with us…

So, I celebrate Father’s Day. I miss my Dad. I love my Dad. I’m grateful.

I think your right on the money. What I’ve observed in people who seem to get really angry over seemingly trivial things is that they constantly have ‘me’ mentality. They want everything to go there way, want everything to be easy for themselves. So, when they’re faced with a split second decision, their automatic inclination is to think of themselves.

Tom,

I was saddened to hear the news this morning as I arrived here at work. I know what you’re going through. Be strong, but it’s also ok to be weak.

When time has passed you’ll realize the things you have to be thankfull for –
the close relationship you had your dad and being there with him at the end.

“Now the darkness only stays the night-time,

In the morning it will fade away,

Daylight is good at arriving at the right time,

Its not always going to be this
gray.” George Harrison.

It is funny because your son and I have had many instances similar to your story. Sometimes after we do things together I feel like what we did wasn’t really the fun part, it was the journey getting there. And we have eaten our fair share of food together that probably neither of us should have eaten (but if Josh ask’s, you didn’t hear that from me).

Comment on The Best Age by Patti

Patti — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 08:50:06 +0000

As a mother of 4, with 2 “adult” children, one almost “adult” and one just hitting the teen years, I also find myself thinking “this is the best age.” It’s interesting to me that although parenting has been very little like I thought it would be when I started out, it is better than what I imagined. It is certainly much more difficult – but then, most things in life that have value seem to have difficulties as well. I have found parenting to be a two way street – my children are many times my teachers. How often God uses them to get my attention. I am grateful.

Comment on Have you ever wondered? by Dan Bishop

I’m reminded of a great saying I read while in Pennsylvania several months back.

“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.”

Oh, that we all would experience more breathless moments!
