The God Force You

 Think of the times that you have been awed by a sunrise, sunset, the birth of child, a book, painting, a piece of music.  Nature has the power to transform us just as sporting event or a jog in the park.  We all live these moments and they can remind us of the divine energy that pulses in all of us.  When we smile at a stranger, or provide a simple act of kindness, or extend a courtesy, we realize that we are all connected in this cosmic dance of life, and as we progress on our individual we have an obligation to help others along the way. 

We see the struggles of modern day life when we are too absorbed in the world. When we live in the daily news cycle we become blinded to the miracles of Living.  We need to remember that we have a choice to live from our higher divine selves while living our everyday lives.  We have the choice to choose love, kindness, generosity, and peace.  The world can go on raging but we can rest in the peace and joy of our divine connect to God and the Holy Spirit because that same spirit pules within each of us. 

The world is what you make it and what you choose to create, experience, and most of all focus on.  If you focus on the negativity that will be your experience.  If you focus on the gift of each moment, each day, the humbling joy of the gift of Life you will experience a newfound reverence and peace.  The gift of being a parent, raising a child, helping a friend, reaching out to someone in need creates a totally different experience and way of living that is detached from material world and transformed into the spiritual realm. 

The choice is ours. We are empowered to live life our way not the way everyone else chooses. We can make the conscious choice o live in peace, love, and joy. We are reminded every day by the Power of God in the beauty of nature, the functioning of our bodies, and the continued creation of the universe. Every day millions of new lives are created in which we all play our part.

Choose to live a life of love, kindness, charity, peace, and joy. Choose a life of Light and laughter.  Be good to yourself, and treat your divine self with care. Give Thanks to the Lord for he is good and let us rejoice and be glad for this is the day the moment the Lord has made.We are his happy warriors.

With Love,

Fatherless Nation

 Fathers and Families

There is an epidemic in the country and that is the dissolution of the Family.  As our families breakdown over divorce, separation, and the secularization of society, our children bear the brunt of our selfishness. 

We have become more selfish as a nation and a society.  This shift has been happening over the past few decades as divorce rates have skyrocketed.  Men are inherently more selfish as the woman is naturally more nurturing, but the selfishness is impacting everyone.  As our society has become more secular and God is playing a more diminished role, we have turned to consumerism, hedonism, and self interest as our primary motives and objectives in life.  My pleasure, my happiness, me, me, me.  This focus inward and on ourselves has resulted in broken families, broken children, and a broken society. 

We as Fathers and parents have a duty to raise loving, kind, productive, and self-sufficient children. One of the best ways to produce wonderful children is to stay married.  Marriage is not always easy and like anything worthwhile comes with challenges and hardships but the rewards are priceless. 

Marriage and raising children is one of those endeavors that while we're in it can seem daunting and unmanageable at times. But one thing we know for sure, time is passing quickly and the kids won't always be in diapers or need a bottle every few hours.  The challenges of today will seem like mere stepping-stones tomorrow. And as your marriage and children grow, your experience and hard earned wisdom will help you guide the family 

And as your children blossom into adulthood, you will look back and long for the days when you could hold them in your arms, hug them, protect them, and gladly do it all over again. When you gather around the table and take a moment to give thanks for the blessings in your life, you will be awestruck by what you helped create.  For you will realize that nothing in your life will ever exceed the astounding miraculous achievement of a wonderful family and that being a Father is the greatest honor you will ever have.

With Love,
