I am my father’s son
Comments(9)
I vividly remember one year on pastor appreciation my dad’s staff set up our fellowship hall with various booths about him. Not like a Mike Museum or anything like that. These booths were really more about enhancing or exaggerating certain quirks he had. One of them was a giant board with an all too familiar multi-colored, vertically striped, short sleeved button down shirt. Above it in large, cut-out letters it said, “DAY OFF SHIRT”. I remember looking up at the board and realizing that it was true. My father wore that very shirt pretty much every Thursday. Thursday was his day off.
This past week was pastor appreciation. It was my first as a pastor. This morning I woke up, got dressed, and realized that this is the third Monday in a row that I have worn this shirt. Monday is my day off.
That’s awesome. You need to watch some movies and review them. I wanna hear your thoughs… and/or.. what are you reading these days?
Drew…your request is granted. I’ll post some book/movie reviews.
Cool. Mine is either a NYPD shirt or this old, faded blue Camp Hope shirt. Note: faded blue=BEST COLOR EVER.
You also share a sense of humor. Actually, I think you, Dad and I find mostly the same things funny. It’s awesome when you can just picture Dad trying not to laugh at something you said or that he agrees with, knowing Mom is right there ready to give him THE LOOK if he does.
Is that t-shirt designed for people with dyselxia or just for people who stare at themselves in the mirror all day…zing!
i know..the pic is backwards…
The “LOOK” usually came when you guys were saying something inappropriate!! (guy humor) As for the shirt, you truly are your fathers son!!
Dude I just saw your comment on Glenn Packiam’s blog. I left him a comment with a link to a video you should check it out.
Nice shirt Rippy.
My off day shirt is a blue, Max Federal Credit Union promotional shirt that I purchased from the local Goodwill Clothing Emporium in 1999. It has holes, it’s faded and it’s, generally speaking, a spectacle of how not to make a t-shirt. If you look through the last two years of photos with the kids, I can triumphantly say that I wear that shirt more than any other piece of clothing I own. AND, another testament to its awesomeness…Laura hates it.
Josh,
That is not only a “day off” shirt. That is your “I’m not at work or church” shirt.
