It takes enduring courage and generosity to learn about an injustice and remain committed to seeking the best solutions for others over the long-haul. I want to keep becoming that quality of man. 

To celebrate my 40th birthday I’ll be doing a triathlon as a fundraiser for Next Generation Ministries (NGM), aka the FortyMan 40.3. (Due to recent bike crash, I hope to race later this Summer; birthday is June 17th, also Father’s Day this year.)

In forty words, here’s my WHY:

Which one hugs today: Apathy or Angst?
What if both try their worst?
Duty and pleasure are friends not foes,
Honor and risk-taking as well.
Find the best motivation: Love produces Hope.
How about you? Let’s make Forty unlonely, man.

Today on Father’s Day I remember my earthly father, Daniel Patterson, who gave his all as an encourager, adventurer, friend, husband, and good Dad.
