More than anything, this world needs this Everlasting Father. I found this poem that really sums it up: There was a boy who never knew the love a father gives, raised by his mom in anger for the man who left his kids.

I suppose that all of us can look back on things that happened to us in our lives and see how foolish we were. I sure can. I remember the early 80's. Kathy and I were newly married without a lot of income, but we were absolutely determined to own a home. Let me rephrase: She wasn’t that thrilled. It…
