It was an exciting couple of days for myself and my student.
Patch the Pirate came to town. He is scheduled for several services at a church we used to attend. Last night we took our Pastor's children and our student to see him sing and preach.
This morning the Christian School of that church held chapel services and invited the home schoolers to attend as well. I jumped right on that wagon. I don't often go on field trips with home school group. In fact the last field trip I attended with them was in the fall of 2012. WOW.
I titled this a Great Hero of the Faith. He is one of my great hero's and that of both my sons as well. He doesn't make millions of dollars throwing a football while refusing to honor the Flag and the National Anthem. He doesn't make millions of dollars acting in super hero movies that are totally inappropriate for anyone to see, much less the children who are fans of such a super hero.
He is a man who has personal struggles such as cancer and the death of a child from suicide. He has continued, throughout his life, to remain serving God and giving praise to him.
He is a man I am honored to have met.
He is a man I am honored to share a love of music with by singing his songs.
He is a man I am honored to make a hero for my children and my grandchildren.
It was a blessing seeing you today Patch the Pirate. May God continue to use you and your life for his glory!
