Father’s Heart Weekend 2010 was a great success and time for fathers and sons to connect and to be affirmed. Stories and comments of the event will be posted soon as well as additional photos. Thank you everyone who attended and to those who served for making this event possible. Praise God!

I really can’t express my gratitude to all of you that have developed, nurtured, volunteered, etc. the Father’s Heart weekend. There are so many moments of blessing that I keep reflecting on since the weekend ended. My son Joey remembers big and small events “the sword, playing hockey, and the brownie with the cookie on the bottom!”.
My top 5 would be: 1. war paint and “YOU ARE!” 2. singing 3. Wet Willie 4 times 4. 10:30 PM bike ride and 5. fishing, hockey and bike riding all before breakfast!
God revealed to me on the first day that my son and I are very different, and that I need to celebrate that vs correct and control it. Joey is all about the journey, not the destination. I need to live inside that more often myself. The weekend allowed me to do just that and let him call the shots.
I was blown away by Saturday night, moved forever and then again Sunday morning all the more.
I’ll never forget it fellows, and I’ll be back next year.
Thank you – Richard Hunter

Richard,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I love your comment regarding focusing on the journey with your son rather than the destination.
