"I have a powerful giant on my side, his name is Jesus Christ. I will deliver for him, first of all. It's time to compete. I grab the ball, and let's go - you vs. me."
- Fernando Cruz
A dad can lose friends. He can be misunderstood by his own family. He can carry the weight of criticism and still sleep just fine at night.
Why?
Because his mission isn’t to be liked by the crowd. His mission is to be respected, trusted, and loved by the most important audience in his life.
His children.
One day, those kids will look back and realize why Dad said ‘no’ when everyone else said ‘yes.’ Why he stood his ground when it would’ve been easier to bend. Why he took the long road, even when the short one looked tempting.
A father success isn’t measured by applause.
It’s measured by who his children become.
By how much they seek his company when they no longer need him.
And by the grandchildren who carry his legacy forward.
Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06 on the deck rail. I left six cartridges beside it, then left it alone and went about my business.
While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, my neighbor across the street mowed his lawn, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of my house.
After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself off the deck rail. It hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had presented to do so.
In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself. You can imagine my surprise, with all the hype by the Left and the Media about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.
Either the media is wrong or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.
The United States is third in murders throughout the World. But if you take out just four cities: Chicago , Detroit , Washington DC and New Orleans , the United States is fourth from the bottom, in the entire world, for murders.
These four Cities also have the toughest Gun Control Laws in the U.S. All four of these cities are CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS. It would be absurd to draw any conclusions from this data - correct?
Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat .
