Jordan Luke, our oldest child of four, was born on April 5, 1981. We just celebrated his 28th birthday last Sunday. I was 28 when Jordan was born and now he is becoming a father for the first time at the same age.
.
When Jordan was four years-old, our little family took a trip to Ann Arbor, MI where I was going to officiate a wedding. However, we had only gone a couple of miles before Jordan exclaimed, “Dad, I can’t get my seat belt to work.”
.
I pulled off the road, opened up the back door of the minivan and leaned over to help Jordan with his seat belt. Sure enough it was stuck and wouldn’t extend out of its sleeve. I worked with it for about 5 minutes before Jordan said, “Dad, we haven’t prayed for God to fix it.” My heart sank. My son truly believed that God could do anything! I did too… up to a point, but I knew I didn’t have “seat belt faith” so I said, “OK, son – you pray.” Jordan prayed and then reached over and clicked his seat belt on like it was brand new!

Over the last 28 years I have learned so much about God through the faith of my children. That’s just one of the reasons I’m looking forward to having grandchildren – I still have so much to learn! GIGATT! Mr. Steve
