FATHER'S DAY 2024
Everyone needs the benefit of a good example.
“When the son misbehaved, I struck the father,” said Diogenes.
And today Denzel Washington inquires, “Where’s the father?”
As James Allen eloquently put it, “A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must and will bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein and will continue to produce their kind.”
The benefits of a household with both mother and father cannot be overstated. My parents divorced when I was eight and my sister and I were unable to observe and gain the positive influences that a good father can bring to the family.
My mother was an exceptional single mother who raised us with great love and gave us the best she had in her. We learned the importance of living moral lives from her good example.
Having a responsible father who participates in raising the children in his home strengthens the teachings of a good mother. The absence of a good father in the home is a loss incapable of accurate measurement.
The gradual breakdown of the family unit in America over the last hundred years is a sad and dangerous trend that simply must be reversed if America is to survive.
It all starts with the benefit of a good example.
On November 5, 2024, good Americans can right the ship again. Investigate the issues, align your thinking with morality, rediscover Great Truths, and vote. Be responsible and vote intelligently.
