A Father’s LEGacy

Sunday Message

18 Jun


I often ignore “Hallmark Holidaze” but seeing as it’s Father’s Day, this week’s Sunday Message is about the “Leg-acy” of courage and determination that my dad, Lewis M. Shepard has given to those of us who know and adore him… Navigating through life with a physical handicap is hard enough when you’re young. But at almost 96 years old, my dad is right back at it after a few health setbacks. He’s getting his “legs back under him,” regaining his “footing” so to speak. (sorry about the puns it’s another one of MY compulsions ;o).

So this week’s Sunday message is dedicated to all of our parents, moms AND DADs without whom we wouldn’t be here to roll our eyes at some of the stuff we roll our eyes at… LOL.

thanks dad for your courage and determination to be strong, healthy and resilient in the face of challenges!

Peace, Love & Groovyness!

I totally get it, I’m with you 1000% percent!

“Holy shit balls YES!!! I totally get it, I’m with you 1000% percent! I know I came here for a reason, I have no clue what for yet, BUT I KNOW it wasn’t to be born, work and die without ever knowing!!! I’m so thankful to have met you at this stage if my life!!! I was raised without so much as a hint of religion but always felt an inclination toward spirituality, I never understood the difference. Its like the internal knowledge of what is right and just, versus doing what we are told. I have never liked rules, but always wanted to understand them in order to properly break them. We are all connected and we must be kind, loving, just and open in order to truly fulfill our destines!!! With your help I’m pretty sure I can!!! And, as with everything important in life, have a shit ton of fun along the way!!! Thanks for being you!!”
