Both his daughter and son, with their spouses, live in the KC area, which is a major reason for Doug returning to the area. There are no grandchildren, yet. (but hopes!) “The most important thing parents can do is raise their children to be truthful, generous, caring adults. In addition to the bible, the Boy Scout oath and law is a really good place to start.” When his children were young, Doug had the opportunity and privilege to serve as Assistant Scout Master in the Boy Scout troop where his son earned his Eagle Scout award. (This, as hoped for, was one rank better than Doug’s “Life” rank.) He also was able to create a new Tribe, in the Northland chapter of the YMCA, under the Y-Indian Princess program, to engage fathers and their daughters in a weekly program, where Doug and his daughter were part of the Mighty Chippewa tribe. Doug was blessed with the opportunity to coach both his daughter’s and his son’s youth soccer teams. Doug is a KC area native, growing up north of the river during the school year and at Lake Lotawana during the summer. It is at that lake where Doug met his passion and began racing sailboats at age 5. Competition in that sport has taken Doug to races and championships all over the U.S.. Called to formal ministry later in life, Doug explains that he had spiritually gone a long way from God. Now, telling people of God’s grace and mercy, he confidently states that nobody – nobody – can be so far from God that God can’t love them back into a relationship with Him, with grace and mercy through Christ. Doug says, “It’s not about religion. It’s about relationship (with God).” TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:(816) 650-5951 TEL;TYPE=WORK,FAX: N:Douglas Day ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;;;;; END:VCARD
