Obama hits the nail right on the head!!

Kudos to Barak Obama

“Too many fathers are missing from too many homes and too many lives, they are MIA, AWOL, they have abandoned their responsibilities, they are acting like boys instead of men. Because of this, the foundations of our country and families are falling apart. Any fool can have a child, and that doesn’t make you a father, taking responsibility for that child makes you a father.” BO 2008

AMEN!!

Thank God for my Grandfather Estevan Arellano (My mothers dad) who raised me as his own son. I am grateful that he filled the void of this young boy who grew up without the blessing of a father. Because of my own father issues, I am committed to my 3 sons, and am dedicated to and connecting fathers to the fatherless. This is what heals me from my father wound.

“It takes more than sperm to be a father…it takes a man to  be a dad.” Daniel Arellano

Note: This is not an endorsement for Barak Obama. Although, I stand to agree with him on this note.

Why Wait? Because your worth it!

Next to freshman biology class, there is nothing more universal on college campuses than the “hookup scene.” It is simply expected that students from state schools to the Ivy League will experiment with premarital sex. In the words of one Harvard student recently quoted in the New York Times: “For me, being a strong woman means not being ashamed that I like to have sex.”

Well, surprisingly there are growing numbers of students who have a much different definition of what it means to be a strong woman (or man). It means not being ashamed to say that they would like to have sex, but choose not to.

A relatively new student group at Harvard called True Love Revolution has urged college freshmen to resist the hookup culture by passing out flyers that read: “Why wait? Because you’re worth it.”
