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.

Here are some selected scriptures from the Bible…God’s Love gives one for all…

John 3: 16″For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Gods love for sinners in the act…

Romans 5: 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

You only get one chance at life…

Romans 9: 27Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Jesus Christ the only bridge builder between God and man…

1 Timothy 2:5 5For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

From the getgo I believed that this show was not a great idea…its definitely not for those who are not authentic and have a struggle with integrity.
