Chased, Caught - My New Article On Boundless Webzine for Young Adults
***WELCOME Boundless Readers. Please feel free to leave a comment and join in on our little community here. Have a great day.***
I am honored to have another article featured on the Boundless site. It’s called Chased, Caught and it is an article about my Bio Dad, myself and our Heavenly Father. Here is an excerpt.
Four-year-old Isaac, with a flash of his bright eyes and curly blond hair, can pretty much convince you to do just about anything. That boy is going to be trouble and all you can do is smile as you pull him off the next piece of furniture.
The staff were all gathered together for lunch one day when Isaac came by the office, along with his mother and sister, to visit his dad. After the meal was over, Isaac ran around the conference table and taunting his father, “Catch me Daddy!” Every time he passed one of the guys that had gathered around for lunch we would growl and try to hook him with our arms. He giggled that 4-year-old sunshine of a giggle, eluding our scary traps as he playfully derided us, “I passed you!”
“Lately, he likes to be chased and get caught,” his dad later explained to me.
One of my delights in life, as a single man, is watching good parents love their children, and seeing those children flourish in that loving environment. I love watching little Isaac’s eyes when his daddy “catches” him and he no longer wants to escape the embrace and just smiles and rests.
Rests, that is, for about two minutes and then is off to the races again. I like that part too.
A Different Kind of Chase
I only remember brief encounters with my Bio Dad when I was Isaac’s age. And then there are a few brief drunken snapshots of him when I was in fifth and sixth grades in Nashville. That’s pretty much it.
My dad did all the running then and there was no catching him. …. read the rest here.
