Just a Word on Family

My oldest son Paul is starting to reach out to his younger brother Shad and his step-sister (that's the last time I use step) Heather. These three have never really talked. While we were in Lubbock, Paul and Heather met for the first time, but there was not much a bond formed, for a variety of reasons. With regard to Shad, Paul has never met him and just recently took the risk to open a line of communication with him.

This will no doubt be a challenge for all the kids. I expect it will be rather awkward in the beginning and in reality, may not go very far. But I am excited that Paul has taken the initiative to reach out. He knows the risk and is willing to take it.

All our kids are wonderful people. They each have their own gifts and have struggled through their own unique journey's growing up. Credit goes to their mothers because Lord knows, I was not in the picture with much detail or frequency. Nevertheless, at this point, everyone is trying to one degree or another. That's what family is about - trying, reaching out, forgiving, and accepting.

Thanks for indulging me and God Bless!
