There is nothing more insulting than a cavalier man thinking he has every right in world to see child he helped to create, but was never there for him or her. It is as if he or she is obligated to him like that of a debt.

As a child of a broken home and now as a father myself, I know purest definition of being a dad is time spent with your child that will always prevail in end.

Would you remember your father more if he was a millionaire but never there, or a near-penniless man who spent time with you and showed you love you needed?

To me, it’s a no brainer!

However, many dynamics can and do interfere with being a dad. Turmoil-ridden marriages, separations, relocations, resentment from child, and ever-abundant brainwashing of a child to hate.

So if you’re a father doing his best to be a dad, how do you overcome such obstacles?

Do everything in your power to maintain bond you have with your child! If that means following that child to Timbuktu and lose your career, getting on better terms with child’s mother, or simply putting more time into strengthening father-child relationship.

I was listening to a news program other night and I heard an alarming statement made by a “Reverend” who said that America was not founded as a Christian nation. I don’t know much about minister’s credentials other than what was flashed across screen. It seems he was a former employee of ACLU and was opposed to Christian emblems being placed on government property. He gave same old song and dance about “separation of church and state” (gag me) and need for America to sterilize her government agencies of Christian symbols. I was thinking about this absurdity this morning, and thought I would help set record straight. America was founded on Biblical principles and has been declared Christian by its institutions of law all way up to 1950s. Let me present some facts.

Fact: Terry Eastland, publisher of The Weekly Standard, has confirmed after his in-depth study of history of America. “Protestant Christianity has been our established religion in almost every sense of that phrase…The establishment of Protestant Christianity was one not only of law but also, and far more importantly, of culture. Protestant Christianity supplied nation with its ‘system of values.’” James Billington, Liberian of Congress, said in a news conference on opening of exhibit, “Religion and Founding of American Republic,” that “the dominant role religion played in earliest days of this country is largely ignored by media, academics, and others.”
