WHAT LITTLE GIRLS WISH DADDIES KNEW

My wife sent me this.  Keep in mind I have 3 girls, currently ages 7, 8 & 12.  After reading something like this I feel like a complete failure as a father.  I lose my temper too quickly.  I'm sure I don't listen as well as I should.  I haven't given them the attention they deserve.  While I'm not guilty of every offense on this list, I have lots of room to improve.  #16 really hit me hard as I struggle with personal contentment - I always feel I need to be better, do better, have more, etc.  While working toward improvement in our lives is a noble goal, it can easily turn into an unhealthy behavior (as most behaviors when taken to an extreme).  

That's why we need God's grace and favor upon our families.  If it were left up to us, our families would be in ruin!  However, that does not relieve us of our responsibility to be the best dad we can be.  Even if you only have boys, I recommend reading this and taking it to heart for the day you may have granddaughters. 

Interesting article posted by The Wall Street Journal that every conservative should read.  Really makes you think of how our argument should be framed in the coming years.  Until the poor in our country realize that socialist/Democrat public assistance only enables poverty and that the answer is opportunity and prosperity for everyone, will we continue to lose major elections.

Republicans and Their Faulty Moral Arithmetic

Conservative values and money issues are worth less than concern for the poor.

By ARTHUR C. BROOKS

In the waning days of the 1992 presidential campaign, President George H.W. Bush trailed Bill Clinton in the polls. The conventional wisdom was that Mr. Bush seemed too aloof from voters struggling economically. At a rally in New Hampshire, the exhausted president started what was probably the fourth campaign speech of the day by reading aloud what may have been handed to him as a stage direction: "Message: I care."

NBC allows anti-Christian skit

NBC has turned up the volume against Christians.  It comes as no surprise that they've stooped to this level for those that have been paying attention.  They have progressively become more hostile toward Christianity over the past few years.  The hypocrisy of the liberal left is astounding.  They claim they are tolerant and believe in free expression, yet by in large they show no respect when it comes to Christianity.  This should come as no surprise, Jesus says:

John 15:19-21

English Standard Version (ESV)

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. ²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

As Christians we've enjoyed a very friendly environment to practice our faith in the U.S., but make no mistake that is changing.  There is a secular anti-God movement that is penetrating our culture.  The irony is this country was founded in large part because of religious oppression, yet here we are 236 years later seeing the ground work to religious oppression being laid yet again.  It's subtle and many will laugh it off as just entertainment and claim that we are reading too much into it, yet the road to oppression, hate and tyranny is always paved first in entertainment.  The reason?  Entertainment is simply a reflection of society.  The tide is turning.  Take notice Christian.
