First of all, to those who have taken (or will later) a moment to remember Dad & the family today, Thanks!We appreciate the prayers & support so many of you have honored us with over this past year… more than you can imagine!
Austin’s school is having a special day today… it’s Wacky Wednesday!
A day where, as a thank you for showing up to support our school at McTeacher’s Night last week, the kids and staff get to be Wacky!
Didn’t Dad love opportunities like that? In fact, did Dad ever really act what most people would consider normal?
Thankfully, NO!
That’s a BIG part of what made him so special. His desire to stand out from the crowd. To be different. TO BE WACKY!
And he was great at it!!
Everyone Dad met knew there was something different about him. Not all could put their fingers on what it was; but whether you were the checker at the grocery store; a church member – past or present; the waiter or waitress at Denny’s; or maybe a member of the family… we all loved what we saw in him!
You know what it was, right? It was HIM in him! God’s light shining through!
Take time today to do something Wacky today and let your Light shine! Dad will be looking down at you with a big smile on his face - doing one of those famous Toyota Jumps!
Happy Wacky Wednesday!

By the way… 2 things I wanted to pass on for any of you reading this today.
Tomorrow night from 4 to 8pm at Eatonville Middle School, there will be a Spaghetti Dinner & Auction to honor Michael, with all proceeds going to Tricia Lynn to help with the mountain of expenses. Please come!
Secondly, Trish e-mailed these passages to the family this morning to help remind us – on this day, especially – who is in control here! I share them with you to do the same.
Peace
The Lord bless you and keep you-- the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. - Numbers 6:24,26
Hope
"For I know the plans I have for you...." declares the Lord. ..."plans to give you hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
