"He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does t he LORD require of you but to do justice and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? " ~ Micah 6:8
Simplicity is the keynote o f a good life. We can choose the simple things always. Life can become comp licated if we let it be so. We can be swamped by difficulties if we let the m take up too much of our time. Every difficulty can be either solved or ig nored and something better substituted for it. We can love the humble thing s of life. We can reverence the simple things. Our standard need never be t he world's standard wealth and power. ~ Fr. Pat Umberger
Pray that w e may love the simple things of life. Pray that we may keep my life uncompl icated and free.

"You spoke to me, and... your words filled my heart with jo y and happiness." ~ Jeremiah 15:16
The leg of Ignatius took nine months to heal and left him with a lifelong limp. While recuperating, he occupied his time daydreaming and fantasizing. He called for romances and b ooks of chivalry, but the only two books to be found in the house were a l ife of Christ and a collections of saints' lives. Slowly, Ignatius conceiv ed an admiration for what he found there. He still dreamed of glory, but n ow it was to be God's glory. He still fashioned serving a king... but the k ing was no longer a earthly one. ~ Thomas Clancy, adapted from Ignatius Loyola: A Soldier-Saint

"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your hea rt as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children a fter them." ~ Deuteronomy 4:9
The most compelling question that every Christian man must ask is this: What am I doing today that will be an influence for Jesus Christ in the next generation? We cannot hold onto the world, we can only hand it to others. It's as if you are a father with yo ur arms wrapped around your young son's shoulders, helping him get the fee l of the bat. Swing and miss. Swing and connect. There is no glory in that moment - only hints of glory as a pattern is established. It may be years b efore your boy can swing for the fence. Someday, though, he will stand at the plate where the balls are hard and fast. It's a game where they call r eal strikes, and some men strike out. When your son hits that home run in the game that counts, you may not be around to...

"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be est eemed is better than silver or gold." ~ Proverbs 22:1
No matter how hard a man works, no matter how much wealth and notoriety a man accumu lates, it is always a fair question to ask, What will I leave behind?< /i> What we leave behind is called legacy. It is more th an "Salesman of the Year" plaques. And certainly more than a wooden box pla nted six feet deep. It's the footprints we leave at a workplace or institut ion, and the fingerprints we leave in the lives we love. Deep in the soul of every man is the desire to leave behind a good name. A name that makes p eople nod in affirmation For a man to be able to look into the eyes of his wife and children and to be able to see them looking back with respect, ad miration, trust, loyalty - that is enough to make most of us hallucinate. That is a living legacy. And that is what every man should long for. A living legacy is the product of consistent hard ...

"Children's children are a crown to the aged, and paren ts are the pride of their children." ~ Proverbs 17:6 You cannot give quality time unless you give a q uantity of time. You need to be there. Be alert for those priceless irrepla ceable moments when your child needs to belt down a strong gulp of Dad. To be honest, most of the time you spend with your children will be wasted. W hat they do is suddenly - no one can predict when - open up, and ta ke a long swig of Dad. Then they go back to their preoccupation and put you in a holding mode again.
In a national survey, men complained that 'time' keeps them from being the family shepherd they want to be. It may b e true that men are over-scheduled and exhausted. But it's not a question o f time. A man does what he wants to do. His busy schedule reveals his prior ities, not his unavailability. He chooses his top priorities and makes sur e they get scheduled.

"Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will beco me discouraged." ~ Colossians 3:21
Somewhere between the ages of three to five, little boys are "discovered" by their fathers. At that age , children begin to "function" better. Most men know better what to do wit h children when they function. Now that a little boy plays more productivel y, a father can step in and begin to teach him to "do" some things. About this time, a little boy recognizes a kinship with his father and begins to form an identity as a male. Our fathers teach us how to work. Our fathers show us how to do things together. Our fathers teach us to take risks. All of these are great lessons. And if your were one of a fortunate few, perha ps your father was also tender and nurturing. His affirmations helped your self-confidence to grow strong. Our fathers lay the ground work for the nex t generation. ~ Dick Brian Klaver, Men at Peace

"Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, 'Abba, Father.'" ~ Galatians 4:6
Our understanding of God as the Father is affected by our experie nces with our own father. So many young people in America today grow up wit hout a father in their life. Can we blame them then for not understanding t he heavenly Father? God says, "If you will listen to me, I will seal you with My Spirit of adoption. You will be a joint heir through Christ. You wi ll no longer be an orphan, but My child." God seals us by His Spirit.  ;
God desires an intimate relationship with us His children. Throug h this intimacy, God can shape our view of Him and our view of how we thin k He see us. We will begin to realize how much God loves us. We can experie nce the depth of His unconditional love for us. We can go confidently into His presence, addressing Him intimately as "Abba, Father." We can enjoy t he knowledge that He will hear us, speak to us, and m...
