Families...it's about Time

Take a moment to consider what is most important to the enduring future of our Global Society--It is the proper development and growth of families. The core values of humanity, those that lead nations down honest and forthright paths, are taught in homes where love and kindness are spoken.

As the family goes, so goes a nation. In all nations of the world, we have witnessed the steady decline of the family. Sadly enough, our global community is following similar declines. Broken homes lead to broken relationships and broken ideals. In the United States, children in single-parent families are two to three times likely, as children in two-parent families, to have emotional and behavioral problems.

More than seventy percent of all juveniles in state reform institutions in the United States come from fatherless homes. Half of American children will spend at least some of their childhood growing up without a father in the home, and that in a radical departure from virtually all of human history, responsible fatherhood is declining disastrously in our society.

So, it's about time, spending quality time with our families. Even though most of my children are married and raising their own families, I love the time we spend together when everyone comes over to the house.



If you haven't done so today, hug your family, spend time with them. When everything else in the world seems to be crumbling down, it will be your family that will give you the strength and support to keep carrying on.

Thanks to my family...they are the best!
