Any Good Men Out There?

This year I've had the privilege to meet one of the most kind and gentle hearted men I've ever known. His eyes, voice, words and body language ooze out God's love onto people.
He was a missionary on a Navaho Indian Reservation out west.


I know there are lots of good men in this world including my Dad, brothers, uncles, nephews, and friends. I am grateful for my parents and family. Sadly many people have not had good men in their lives and that can really mess up a person.


I've been meeting lots of new friends this year a great deal of them being males. I have noticed that some of the men did not have good relationships with their dads or no relationship at all. The adult male children of those bad fathers often times are living dysfunctional lives not knowing stability or proper conduct so as a result the pattern keeps on going from father to son for many different dysfunctional generations. But they don't have to live like that, they can choose to try and make better behavioral choices going down a better path to father their children properly.


If your father was not a good father you can make better choices then your father did. We all have a choice. Dont let the dysfunctional childhood from a rotten dad make you choose to follow in your Dad's steps. You can make better choices even if you have already messed up with your kids.


I thank the Lord that my Dad was a good man. I miss him.
