I remember hearing this song as a kid.
The message stuck with me.
I decided even then that it would not describe me.
Not as a father. Not as a husband.
We have always spent time together.
Two years ago, we decided to take two weeks.
This is the third year.
It really isn’t that long.

Joel Stiff's Adventure 
What’s pitiful is that as a teenager who listened to the song and ashamedly liked the song – you understand I was a teen in the 70’s!! 🙂 – I never realized the message – could sing along to the words, but didn’t really hear those words – heard the song a good while back – and thought, “o, my goodness, what a message there was to that song!” and good for everyone to hear the message – possibly you should try Nicole and Winston singing it as a special in church! 🙂 Have a great day – to you 4 Stiffs!!
