This 21-minute video is an absolute MUST WATCH for every American taxpayer to view every year, preferably, on Fathers’ Day weekend in June. When you learn about the decay of our Country’s society, how much of it is blamed on Fatherless homes, or Fatherless children? The role of the Father is also cited numerous times in the Bible, so God must’ve deemed it somewhat important.
Granted, there are some guys who choose to neglect and even abandon their children but that shouldn’t negate all those who do their best to be ideal Fathers. Judge Judy displays quite a bit of wisdom on this topic, too bad she was never appointed as Director of some government agency to better regulate Fathers’ Rights in America.
Is your Dad still alive? If so, consider yourself very fortunate. For those who ‘lost’ their Dad, was it via Death or Divorce? Or even worse — did your Father just relinquish and abandon his responsibilities toward his child/children because he just didn’t give a BLEEP? Unfortunately, most family structures aren’t quite as simplistic or idealistic as we’ve seen on TV shows like, ‘The Waltons’, or maybe, ‘The Brady Bunch’. Nobody ever said life was fair, I guess.
Tim Bickford, an editor with The Fathers’ Rights Movement of New Hampshire, was arguably one of the best guests I’ve ever had on my Nashua (NH) local access cable TV show, ‘Frankly Speaking’. Not only was this the 40th episode of Frankly Speaking, but it was taped and recorded just in time to air the week going into the Fathers Day holiday weekend of 2019.
Hopefully, I can get the great folks at Access Nashua to broadcast this particular show on its cable channel every year on this very blessed week to help people understand the actual importance of the role of Fathers in today’s society.
One thing I tried to convey just after Bickford cited a number of rather disturbing statistics on my show surrounding Fatherless children who were much more likely to experience things like: suicides, drug addiction, teenage pregnancies, prison incarcerations, mental illness, dropping out of high school, etc., versus youngsters who were raised in homes with a Father present — it also strongly supports God’s Will. The Bible clearly states that the Father is to be regarded as, ‘the Head of the Household (or Family)‘, for any society to try to deviate from that plan would probably have to face some real serious consequences from God himself.
Also, as I tried to convey at the end of this show, if your Father is still alive please go out and spend some ‘good quality time’ with him. Whether you want to take him out to dinner somewhere, or just ‘hang out’ with him for a couple hours talking about sports or politics while watching something on TV. “BE THERE” is the key phrase you should initiate for your mindset when spending time with your Dad.
As for Yours Truly, I’ll probably spend my Fathers Day weekend, hopefully either hanging out — or at least talking on the phone — with both my sons. In addition to that, visit the grave where my Dad is buried and talk to the tombstone a little bit, believing somehow or someway my Dad is actually listening to what I’m saying. Maybe even log onto, YouTube and listen to the Rock classic, The Living Years, by Mike and the Mechanics, and contemplate the great lyrics in that song.
One thing we can all definitely learn from Mr. Bickford, as well as most of his colleagues with, The Fathers’ Rights Movement of New Hampshire — Never take Fatherhood for granted.
