Today on Father’s Day I hold dear in my heart my Dad, Jan Malina, who surprisingly yet not unexpectedly continues to guide, counsel and inspire me even in a moment during the day. Thank you Dad. Thank you God for a good Dad. The great “cloud of witnesses” continue to cheer us on!

Grateful and proud of our daughter Sarah who graduated last week with high distinction in her Honours Journalism and Political Science degree at Carleton. Great to meet some of her journalism classmates, and visit with my mom, brother and family. Eastern Synod-ELCIC
