Happy Father's Day

This ain't Hell, but you can see it from hereLife of Duty: Fathers’ Day; "Joseph Collins – a man of unyielding courage and strength – has proudly served his country in more ways than one. Today, Joseph is playing perhaps the most important role of his life, the role of being a father. In this video, Joseph expounds upon the love he has for his son, as well as the influence his own father had on his life and career."


"Better Dad" by Kerby Anderson "You probably wouldn’t expect a United States ambassador to write a book about being a better dad. But in this case, Ambassador Gregory Slayton was an ideal person to write his book, Be a Better Dad Today."  Kerby links to this site: Fellowship of Fathers


'What Have I Done?' A Father's Remorse  "But to some fathers, the day is spent in anguish. It’s a day spent, not with their children, but with their memories of the children they helped abort.
"Among these men are former Aerosmith rock star Steven Tyler, now a judge on “American Idol.”  When Tyler was in his twenties, he and his 16-year-old girlfriend, Julia Holcomb, learned they were having a baby."....
From Breakpoint:  'Courageous': A Higher Standard for Films and Fathers  "At this, the turning point of the film, Mitchell offers his fellow officers and fathers an opportunity to leave behind adequacy for excellence. He presents what he calls “The Resolution,” a commitment to become a father who lives by twelve biblical standards and holds others accountable to them. Hayes doesn’t hesitate to sign on, and together with Mitchell, inspires his two fellows with an eagerness to be the hero at home each of them has always been on the job."
