Standing in the shadow of your father, what one word best describes him?
If he's wealthy and prominent, and you stand in awe of him, call him “Father.” If he sits in his shirt sleeves and suspenders at a ball game and picnic, call him “Pop.” If he wheels the baby carriage and carries, bundles meekly, call him “Papa” (with the accent on the first syllable). If he belongs to a literary circle and writes cultured papers, call him “Papa” (with the accent on the last syllable).

If you've been tracking with us on this project you'll know that we had an overwhelming response to our 2008 shipment of 50,000 Spanish study guides to Cuba.

It will bless and help pastors and leaders in the Cuban churches to grow and multiply.”

Time and again the joke in the card drew its humor from this obvious attitude that pervades a household: Forget the housework, Mom. It’s your day. Besides, you can always do double duty and catch up on Monday!
