Whether we accept it or not, we fathers are the spiritual heads of our household. Our children and grandchildren benefit when we take on that mantle and humbly but confidently show them how to wear it.

I’m thankful for my own earthly father who has shown me this in actions and words.

I have officially got placed on warning by the mamasan for my rendition of Goldilocks and The Three Bears.

But in my defense, I mean, come on. One can’t be breaking and entering a house of bears, busting up furniture, fouling and consuming food in the house and NOT get eaten when the rightful owners find one passed out in the child’s bedroom.
