Father’s Day
I was lucky to have a father. Back then most people had fathers, I mean fathers is the home. Today fathers like mothers are at best some kind of subhuman class, a throwback to an ancient era riff with wrong practices which merit discarding. Such is the time we live in. Let’s take a quick look at the result of bondage to a staple of post-modern thought.
Stats, we all love stats, polls because they help us determine if we’re winning or losing in the pursuit of our convictions. On my side of the issue at hand, we’ve been on the decline for years and still we ignore the ramifications of our sin. Ninety five percent of homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes. Kids with behavior problems-85%, teenage pregnancy-71%, high school dropout-71%, 63% of youth suicides and 85% of youths in prison come from fatherless homes. Today we see the results of the demise of fatherhood.
Much is said of the difficulty of the single mom in raising her kids. Nothing is ever said about the need to promote the need to start families with a dedication to the tasks of fathering and mothering and the need to keep those roles concise. I’ve noticed I’m a lot like my father and I wonder what I would be like if I had none. I’d probably be like the bulk of men in our society who mimic the attitude of the modern mother. Everything is about me. I have one life and I’ll waste in a way I see fit. Parenting is deemed foolish at best by our younger generation. I’m hoping the lightbulb flicks on and the necessity of the family becomes in style again.
Fathers, like mothers, need encouragement. They don’t need us or the state to micromanage their parenting lives. Pre-marriage and parenting classes should be the norm and those of us who have opportunity, have an open discussion of parenting.
And to put icing on the cake, stop electing politicians who continually push programs that destroy the nuclear family. But it is the local school boards that drive much of this family hatred and it is those meetings we must attend in droves if we are to have meaningful change.
I’m glad I’m a father, married to the mother of my children for forty-two years. I’m so glad I’m not that worthless young man I was at twenty-two.
The war on marriage, fathers, and children must be stopped at all costs. I don’t like the stats mentioned above. They spell the demise of a country. If we truly care we must wake up and speak against the reality of nonsense which is bent on consuming us.
