I'm seeing life increasingly through a lens of my contribution toward goodness, life, and grace and then my efforts that take away from these things. I'm only one life, just like any of us. And I want my life to be given toward positive contributions of the whole. That's the way of Jesus of Nazareth, whom I'm patterning my life after. So it seems to me that being a citizen of the whole is a choice that you can't assume. And it's the path I've chosen to follow.

This is a picture of my dad, David Lantow Sr. and me from his last visit to SF. It was taken while we were at the Aqarium at Fisherman's Wharf. I remember when I was five years old he seemed like such a giant man. He seemed so invincible, strong, and big. I guess that's how my children think of me. I wanted so much to be like him, to get his attention, to have him notice me. It's a profound duty to be a father. As I head home tonight I hope to take notice of my three gifts and give them the attention, investment, and love they deserve. Okay, I'm off to it... peace.  Posted by Hello
