My daughter recently wrote this poem for me. I must say, I was extremely proud of her. Apparently she’s her daddy’s girl.

Throwing Babies Away Could Become Common
Posted by: | Comments“Live Baby Thrown In Trash” is a headline that’s unblelieveable, but Obama’s voting record indicates that he supports these heinous crimes. Put aside white, black, democrat, republican, red, yellow, or green. Anyone who claims to be human could in no way support allowing a baby to die just bacause it was supposed to be aborted. If you have any doubts, just search “Obama born alive policy”. Or, you can watch a National Right To Life video.
Thanks to digitalcaffeine for bringing this article to our attention.
Successful Chili Fundraiser
Posted by: | CommentsWe had a chili cookoff last night at Church of the Harvest for our Royal Rangers and Girl’s Ministries. We are just getting started with these ministries, and both have high startup costs. I want to thank everyone who supported this event for helping us kick off these ministries with the proper supplies needed for success. You helped raise $440 to buy handbooks, workbooks, and other supplies for these kids. Once again, thank you.
Welcome Dubya!
Posted by: | CommentsIt seems like only yesterday that I stood in front of a massive crowd and exclaimed, “Ashlee and Cameron, you have earned the new puppy that’s coming home with us on Christmas!” Or maybe I’m thinking of someone else; I’m not sure. Anyway we have a new set of paws running around the Sanders home. He’s a 7 week old Golden/Lab mix. Sorry, I meant hybrid not mix. He may gain some political leverage to one day claim one breed over the other anyway. When I started this post I swore to keep politics out of it. Ok, not really. Anyway back to Dubya. My wife and I both being fans of George W (although he lost major points with me with this bailout), and me being a fan of Paul W, I just couldn’t think of a better name. Actually I tried Paul W, but my wife refused to call a dog Paul. So Dubya it is.

I have been a part of Royal Rangers for the past two years. Royal Rangers is a great program where boys develop outdoor skills while learning Christian principles. This is a worldwide organization that has been around for more than 40 years. We are Outpost 86 at The Bridge Church in Cusseta, Alabama. I have started an Outpost 86 blog to help promote this ministry. I will be updating the site with events, class info, fund raisers, etc., so please visit often to keep up with the future husbands, fathers, and leaders or our country. Thanks.
Child Rape Really Not So Bad
Posted by: | CommentsThis is exactly the message that the Supreme Court handed down on Wednesday. In a 5-4 decision ( let’s guess the democrat to republican ratio of the Supreme Court, I’m betting about 5:4 ) they declared that executions are too severe for child rapists. Too severe? Really? A grown man repeatedly rapes a 5 year old girl and the death penalty is too severe? In my mind the death penalty is the easiest punishment this man could receive. Give him an opportunity to get saved and then send him to Heaven, or Hell if he refuses. It’s crunch time! Five states, Louisiana, Georgia, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, have laws allowing executions for the rape of a child where the victim is not killed. Only five out of fifty, sad. And now these laws now are no longer valid. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote “the death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child.” Come on, even Barack Obama disagreed with the decision. The reason these judges voted the way they did is because this is the expected when you call yourself democrat. I’m sick of political games, especially ones that put political affiliation above the well being of the youngest citizens of America. “We the people”, this is a phrase that all political figures had better realize. This country is floating in the bowl just waiting to be flushed, and we the people are the only ones who can stop it.
Boy Stomped To Death By Father
Posted by: | CommentsA twenty-seven year old man is driving his truck along a California highway with his two year old son beside him.
He stops the truck, removes the boy from his car seat, and begins punching, kicking, and stomping the boy.
A police officer arrives and shoots the man, but it’s too late for the little boy. He has been stomped into an unrecognizable mass on the side of the road.
This happened in Turlock, California on Saturday night.
The police officer acted as he should, but he was the only one in this situation to do so.
Here’s my problem: Several motorists called 911 and tried to stop the beating, but the beating continued. Just exactly what did they do to try to stop him? Offer him a sucker? Threaten to put him in time-out? How were so many ( I don’t know the exact number ) people unable to stop this man from stomping a two year old boy to death? Were people afraid to get involved? Were they afraid for their own safety?
Every person has the responsibility to protect and care for people who cannot protect themselves. When I hear about someone attacking an elderly person or abusing a child I feel a fire in my gut toward the attacker and a sorrow in my heart for the victim that does not soon ease.
You may call me harsh, judgmental, or vigilante; but you will never call me someone who stood by and watched a child stomped to death.
Who’s Yo Daddy?
Posted by: | CommentsLast Thursday night my wife and I took our 6 year old son to his first Cub Scout meeting. A recruiter had been to his school trying to garner interest in a local pack. I was once a Cub Scout, so I knew there was great potential for my son in this program. This was an introductory meeting to inform the parents about the program as well as let the kids have some fun. He had a great time, so we joined. I filled out an application to become an adult leader as well.
Where were they?
A disappointing reality emerged as the room filled with adults eager to learn about the program and kids eager to be kids; there was only one other father in the room. The room was filled with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade boys and their mothers. Call me old school, but I fully expected to see a room full of fathers with their sons.
I believe that there are gender specific roles that are extremely important for overall child development. I’m not saying that the mothers should have been at home doing laundry while the fathers were teaching their sons to kill an animal bare handed. I am saying that there should have been a room full of fathers at this meeting. I’m sure that some of them had reasons why they couldn’t attend while others just had excuses.
This meeting was just a small example of a problem that is showing up all across this country. There are numerous problems in today’s society that are merely symptoms of the decay of the normal, involved family. ( Yes, I realize that I just labeled anything other than a family with a mother AND father as abnormal. If the dress fits…) When I say father I’m not necessarily talking about biological father. I have seen firsthand that just because you can make a baby does not mean that you are fit to raise one. Fathers in America had better step up to the plate and start acting like fathers. If you don’t fill that leadership role for your kids someone or something else will.
