Since she has four brothers, we can keep her surrounded by armed men until we find a worthwhile husband for her!

Perhaps all dads think their daughters are drop-dead gorgeous. All I know is that I wished my daughter had braces and glasses and was about 50 lbs overweight - NOT A CHANCE.

However, she has no interest in boys who even tease her sexually (it's not flirting today it's very overt and gross) and she's 18. I think there have been two things that have protected her besides my involvement (which I will not call perfect). One is that she has been homeschooled so she has not had pressure to be sexually active since she was 6 years old. The other is that we don't watch TV. No Seinfeld, no Friends, no Frasier, nothing. She didn't get a continual message that normal people sleep with people they like. She got the message from her Mom and Me that her body is a gift, and it's best when given to one man for life.

Not everyone can make those two choices. We were blessed and are blessed with a beautiful, virgin, 18-year-old girl.

Shalom.

We don't TV reception, either. The absence of school and TV eliminates so many potential problems. There's still the everyday stuff ... don't want to do the dishes, bickering with the brothers ... but the other day I was looking at some "teen issues" books in the Christian bookstore, and we just don't have any of those issues!

Your daughter sounds wonderful ... I hope she meets a worthy man, and you get a dozen or so grandchildren!

Even after all these years of conversing with you, you never fail to impress me.

A very good friend of mine was asked by his daughter how she can make him proud. He responded "be a virgin on your wedding day". He was the proudest daddy at the wedding (and now the proud granpa!)
