it would do you all well to also read jamie's blog entitled "ever get home".

 

Jamie is an amazing writer. Some of the entries he writes are just beyond me... thanks phil!!

 

I read jamie's father's day blog, and it brought me to tears. I read other people's comments and was humbled and moved by how much I am not alone. I could no longer feel bad for myself...

 

Jamie is so amazing. I love what he does!
ha ha...40% of Switchfoot...I love how you said that...lol...

 

40% of Switchfoot? C'mon Phil, it's not about the numbers.

.... ;-)

 

wow!! yes that was amazing!
"It seems we humans carry the weight of our dad's shortcomings. The truth is, our real father is perfect in every way, especielly in his love for us!"
that was something so read! God is our father and He is perfect. even if you dont' have a dad you can always call God, Jesus Christ, your father!!! thats the truth!

I love how much credit goes to Mark Foreman! he is an amazing man! it would be a great opportunity to sit down and talk to him about alot!

kotose...AGAIN![and again i don't think i spelled it right]

WOW! That poem was really good! And that letter was really sweet and meaningful! It made me cry for the people that don't have dads. I as well have not had the experiece of not have a father. I know that there are a lot of people that don't have fathers for many reasons, and to read that someone is praying for them must mean a lot to them.

 

Very touching blog posted by Jamie. He really is a gifted writer.

@lydia. I think you're trying to say, "kudos." :)

 

It's really sad that many people don't have fathers, but they still need to remember tha we have a heavenly father. He will never leave us or forsake us, He is a perfect God. I just hope that many will realize that.

 

Jamie has a way with words that I wish I had. I love reading his blogs!

40%... thats cute. :)

 

"Thank you, Jamie. Thank you, Jamie's dad. Thank you, Mark Foreman, dad Butler, dad Fontamillas, dad Shirley. And thank you dad."
When you wrote "Mark Foreman" is that Tim Foreman or is that Tim and Jon Foreman's dad? Because if that was Tim Foreman, i thought that his middle name was David.
Sorry but i really don't know.

 

while it is nice to know we have a "Father" in Jesus, i think it's very unfair and inconsiderate to kindly "remind" those without Dad's of that fact.

i'm just going to stop there so i don't get myself in trouble.

 

i thought the whole thing was really well-written...thank You God for blessing us all with a Father in You!!
@anonymous: Mark Foreman is Jon and Tim's dad, yes.
what's the new web address for LOBH?? i forgot to worite it down and now i can't find it...the pain...sadness, someone please help me.
@Tim Foreman: hurray for SF! i've been driving all my friends insane with all the SF facts i could think of and constantly reminding everyone that yur 10 year "anniversary" was imminent. i spent fathers day honoring my amazing dad...and listening to "chin".
God Bless u all my fellow 'feedies

 

haha. 40%. never thought of it like that.

jamie has a way with words. I cannot wait to meet him at cornerstone.

@Vicky - that thought crossed my mind. But I think that anyone without a dad would be reminded enough already by advertising centred around father's day anyway. That blog, which has some words of encouragement and sympathy etc., is probably going to do some good. I'm guessing, although I would not know, that anyone without a dad thinks about it all the time anyway, so it's probably nice to read something like that.

(My wording wasn't too great there but I think I got what I was trying to across...)

 

Chad's dad's name is Chuck Butler.

I have not met Mark, even though he was standing just a couple of feet away from me when I went to his church for a service. He's amazing because he actually makes you think and ask questions and look at things in a new way.

 

not all of us can celebrate Father's Day with the same joy and happiness....

 

Vicky - what's wrong with reminding people that they have a Heavenly Father? I like to be reminded of that. He's all I've got.

 

Chad's dad's name is Chuck.

 

yeah well I know chad's dad is Chuck.. just chose to write it that way. :) don't ask why, ha.

 

mark and jon maek me think!
I LIKE THAT!!!

@ died-to-live:
OMG!! me too! i always bug my freinds and family about new facts about switchfoot, and when it was their 10 year aniversery i think me hole neighborhood new about it!....lol.
~lydia

 

thank you faye!!!
*kudos* to you!

 

@lydia: yay so im not the only one semi-obsessed with sf fun facts!
@switchfootprincess: hey yah thats what i think- it's not like the people without dad's are going to forget it until someone reminds them, and the knowledge that there is a Heavenly Father who loves us is an incredible blessing to everyone.
