When I am traveling there isn't much on tv let alone when I am overseas.
so what I do is I look back and watch the Kendrick brother movies. On that hits me the most is Courageous.
Being a father myself I view that it is important to be the role model that God has laid out for fathers to be.
We wonder why kids are shooting other kids.
We wonder why kids are in gangs
We wonder why families are falling apart
All of these go back to one important issue. The lack of Godly men and fathers teaching and loving their children the way
the bible commands.
I am not the perfect father. In fact at times I have been a bad father and example to my children.
It is something that I am working on so that I can be the Father and husband that God wants me to be.

The role of a father in their children's life is hugely important.
it is something that society for years has ignored and abandoned thinking that mothers only are more important.
yet statistic after statistic show that kids without fathers face a huge set back compared to those that do.
it gets even worse when you get into minorities. almost 70% of all black kids do not have a father.
70% is huge. how about instead of Black lives matter how about Father Lives Matter.
I count myself fortunate even though I didn't have the best dad I had a dad and over all he generally cared about me
and my brother. he didn't always show it but he did care about us. he and my mom didn't get along for their own reasons, but
they stayed together till we were out of the house and on our own.
I think if we are going to want a better society we need fathers to step up and take on the role's and responsibility
that God degreed for us as men to follow.
