Today, Dad has to know what he's doing and hit the ground running, from the very beginning of the child's growth and development. The goal is to make each child a fuller person - able to taste more of life and to savor it better. Fatherhood is a right of passage. When the families first child is born, a father is born. Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. (Ps. 127:3)
