Fathering Your Family – {Introduction}
January 1, 2008
“Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding.” Proverbs 3:3
I am not very good at presenting flowery and long winded prose. I am a straight forward kind of man. I believe most men appreciate this trait in a fellow. So, I will look you right in the eye and talk straight about the many issues relating to “fathering your family.”
Fathering a large blended family for nearly three decades has given me some unique insight into the issues all dads are facing. In short order, I am listing the most problematic areas you will face actively “fathering your family.” They are:
- Alcohol
- Anger
- Councel
- Discipline
- Fear
- Fools
- Friends
- Gossip
- Laziness
- Leadership
- Lying
- Marriage
- Money
- Pride
- Temptation
- Wisdom
Over the next several weeks, I will be offering short blog entries on each of these core subjects and how each area addressed directly affects a man’s personal walk as a father, how it affects his family, the community and our nation.
You have made a tough decision to “man up” and begin “fathering your family.” Good call dad!
