My Dad in World

When I visited my parents I was struck by how thoroughly Dad read his copy of World, a Christian news magazine.  I was also impressed with his morning prayers and how they covered people and events around the world.

I knew there was a connection between the two, that the magazine informed and focused his prayers.

I thought the good folks who put World magazine together would enjoy hearing about this.

So I sent them an email.

And heard back.  The publisher wanted to mention Dad in his column.  Would that be ok?

I called the folks and tried to explain this.  "What?  World Magazine?  Yes, yes I read it.  You did what??"

Finally I talked to Mom and she sort of understood, and interpreted for Dad, and I think he gave a vaguely-informed consent.

But he enjoys attention, so I knew he wouldn't mind, informed or not.

The article will be in the upcoming magazine, but you can read it online here.
