Happy Father's
Day!
On that day, when
evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side." And
leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was.
Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the
boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern,
asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, do you
not care that we are perishing?" He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to
the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He
said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?" And they were
filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the
wind and the sea obey him?"

The mechanical bull riding
was popular ... even with adult kids.
In a weak moment, I agreed
to collect money for
Breast Cancer before
and during the parade.
I certainly got
plenty of walking in!!!

Listen to the Exhortation of the
Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its
brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The
Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For
Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well
lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a
Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of
the Dawn!

Then the Lord answered
Job out of the whirlwind: "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without
knowledge? Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall
declare to me.
"Where were you when I laid the
foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its
measurements — surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were
its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together
and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy? "Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb? — when I made the clouds its garment, and thick
darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and
doors, and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your
proud waves be stopped'?"
