My uncle, after seeing the line-up, sent me this great application to “Date my Daughter.” As a youth leader, my application would be a little different, but kind of the same gist. I wouldn’t as much threaten bodily harm as threatening me as a chaperone at their next dance, butting in and creating space for the “Holy Spirit” between them and the lady. Anyway, this is the dad version- enjoy!
