Luke, You Are Your Father

For the most part, every other week I take time to unashamedly listen to my most recent sermons. Actually, I do this to evaluate the sermon and to share in the burdens of my congregation. That I can usually handle.

But the first time I watched myself preach is something else! I had the opportunity to do just that—three times!—last semester for a preaching class. My initial thought was to bring out the ab-roller. Right after that I wondered when my dad’s head got so big. It made me think of all the family and friends who have always told me I looked “just like” my dad.

When was the first time you realized you looked like, acted like or spoke like your parent(s), or others who were involved in your upbringing?

That’s my way of saying Happy Father’s Day.

Stay blessed…john
