[old and tired]

There was a show on TV last night (Animal Planet, I think)that was talking about the importance of fathers, even in the wild. The young male elephants turn to what are essentially gangs, ripping down trees and being just mean and destructive when their father is killed for his ivory.

I coach my grandson's basketball team and have gotten to know several boys without fathers in their homes. I really think these boys need a sense that God intended men take to care of their families, to take care of women.

I grew up without a father, but I did have older brothers and the Irish Christian Brothers for role models. Also, the times were different. Men had a sense of what a good man should do. Sadly, I think that's no longer the case.

Totally agree with you about the boys of today.

Desperate need for mentoring by upright traditionalists.
