Father's Day Collaboration

This year, I spent Father's Day totally one-on-one with my son, since my wife is currently taking her mom and aunt on a tour of Ireland, an my own dad's plans (along with the plans of my two brothers) did not permit all of us to be in the same place at the same time.

My son and I decided to make a music video to showcase not our vocal talents (because as you will hear, I have none) but rather to debut a little song we wrote based on the lyrics to Sinatra's classic "L-O-V-E."  We sing this together every night when it's my turn to put him to bed, and have done so for a little over a year.  It was high time we did something more with it-- which meant deciding on what would be the best ways to visualize the lyrics.

It was a true collaborative effort, complete with me becoming exasperated at the mistakes we both made as we attempted to get everything just right in a one-take shot.  I think we needed about ten attempts before we got it, but as Lego Batman would say, "First try!"

We are so pleased with how it turned out, and I am thrilled to have this Father's Day memento to look back on once the sad but inevitable day arrives: the day when he no longer needs or wants me to sing to him each night before he falls asleep.

But that's a long ways off-- here and now, without further ado, is our music video: "L is for Star Wars."

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house.
