一家五口

One thing Miller is much clearer on, and far more passionate about, is making a difference in the lives of boys who grow up, as he did, without a father in their lives. His book To Own a Dragon represents Miller's effort to better understand how his fatherless childhood shaped him into who he is today. Miller writes sweetly about how John MacMurray became a surrogate father to him, teaching some of the basic lessons that ideally occur early in a boy's life. Observing MacMurray's relationship with his children and re-reading the Lord's Prayer, Miller was able to catch a fresh glimpse of God's love. He writes:


I used to feel a kind of hopelessness about life. I assumed life was against me, that whatever bad could happen to a person was going to happen to me. It was as though there was a current I was swimming against. But it was studying this passage that changed some of that thinking. God is fathering me. God is fathering us. I know that if God loves me and wants me to succeed as much as John loves his kids and wants them to succeed, then life cannot be hopeless.


～The Offbeat Evangelist by Douglas LeBlanc


今天我變成ink龜的時候，阿祥哥寄了一篇唐米勒的專訪給我開心一下，上面節錄其中的一段。

God is fathering me. :)

親愛天父，父親節快樂。

剛剛也用Skype祝鄭叔叔父親節快樂，當作我的告白，雖然他以為我要凹他一餐，哈哈。
