While following Grandpa’s safety rules, Dan, Kate, and their cousins enjoy taking turns paddle boating and kayaking on the pond and riding four-wheelers near the pond. They learn about fly-fishing and homemade flies. They also engage in the wise conservation practice of catching and releasing the fish they are not going to eat. The picnic at the end of the day is full of delicious fish and tasty dishes prepared by their grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles. With Grandma’s help, the children even roast their own s’mores for dessert. Throughout the day, Kate and Dan are curious about the constantly changing outdoors.

Our Grandpa Owns a Lake! has educational value and helps readers discover the wonders and customs of various animals, birds, and fish.

All the suffering I have had in my life has been a real blessing. Suffering is one of the greatest things that can happen to us, it brings us closer to God. I have learned a lot about what the Catholic Church is hiding. The biggest secret the church doesnt want you know is that finding God is an individual right not an institutional one. If you want to find God through Jesus message it is with meditation and deep prayer. The purpose of life is to find God within yourself. We are all gods, I like to call us little gs. I hope my message will help people start their own spiritual path. I hope we can all find God together. God bless!
Download or read book To Me He Was Just Dad written by Joshua David Stein and published by Artisan. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Those searching for a moving Father’s Day gift need look no further.” —Publishers Weekly Men like John Wayne and John Lennon, Nolan Ryan and Bruce Lee, Cesar Chavez, Christopher Reeve, and Miles Davis have touched the lives of millions. But at home, to their children, they were not their public personas. They were Dad. Maybe Davis didn’t leave the office at five o’clock to come home and play catch with his son Erin, but the man we see through Erin’s eyes is so alive, so real, so not the “king of cool” (he taught his son to box, made a killer pot of chili, watched MTV alongside him) that it brings us to a whole new appreciation for the artist. Each of these forty first-person narratives—intimate, heartfelt, unvarnished, surprising, and profoundly universal—shows us not only a very different view of a figure we thought we knew but also a wholly fresh and moving idea of what it means to be a father.
