“…because our assumptions (which become our certainties) shut down conversations and kill hope of unity.”

it was a joy to read about how I see my children’s father, my husband. His own was like this too, especially given the times and all. While I wasn’t so fortunate , the blessings that these two men bestow on their loved ones overflows into the cracks in my heart.

You write of a truth that is not spoken often enough today. The father’s influence has been diminished in our general culture’s unerstanding of family and human development. Your last line is a truth and reality that correlates directly to why our culture struggles with acceptance of the God-concept in our everyday lives. Without the strength of the father influence, we weaken the strength of the God influence. Your words should be read and heard by hundreds of thousands of people!
Thank you for this reflection – I still miss my father who passed away in ’04. And I’m so grateful for my strong husband who is the father of our 6 children.
