On this Father’s Day 2009, I encourage all of us fathers and grandfathers to be more like Joseph and join the battle in this “War Against Fathers” by intentionally swimming upstream so that our wives and children don’t become part of the shameful statistics plaguing our nation; by remembering who we are and to whom we belong; by remembering that we have been chosen by God to be part of the family He has given us; by showing compassion, courage and leadership to our wives and children; by learning God’s word, living by it, and teaching it to our families—in short loving God by denying ourselves, loving our wives, and training our children. And for this we will say, “Hallelujah! Praise His holy name!”
