Out on the town!



Just had to share one last experience with you. We spent this day going from one end of the Island to the other. We started by taking the 4 train to Yankee Stadium, then took the D to Coney Island. After spending a couple of hours with the locals, eating a Nathans Hot dog and some fries, and walking the board walk, we ended the day at the 21 club for the culmination of Ashley's 21st Birthday. You know what is exciting to a Dad with His daughters? My daughters really do know how to be all things to all men. I watched them treat the down and outers on the subway with value and respect, speak to the vendors on the walk way, and hold themselves with dignity and grace in the presence of professional athletes, actors, and inside public officials in the greatest city in the world. I don't know who this trip was really for, but it has been a huge time for me!!!! Some who do not know how to richly enjoy all He has given us would say, "Waist of time and money", "What about your future", well this has been the greatest use of my time and money all year! Trips to Ethiopia, China, Venezuela, camps, church meetings, and a million miles, all of it important and necessary! This trip, one of the greatest investments I have ever made! I am the most fortunate Father in the world! Remember, time on this ball is short, You better live it!!!!! Love you all,
David
