We can look at all of our creative ideas, and projects, and say there will be a time for that, but right now I must do this.

I'm still very uneasy about reducing anything down to a sentence - though i understand the need for definition and being concise - don't you ever feel like you're still missing something? maybe that's just me. Anyhow, really looking forward to the next book!

I've wrote along these lines myself. Except I find it a lot harder living out transparently especially in a leadership capacity - i don't mean acknowledging it now and then, but having this in mind in every act and conversation feels a world apart for me at times.

Simple concept that totally discourages the usual meeting meanderings.

It's too easy to think that just because we throw everything at it and things will be excellent.

Something doesn't feel fair about it...

I think it'd be fascinating for our daughter's to be able to chronicle us as fathers and how we too continue to grow and change with the help of God...

I love what you shared, especially about our daughters knowing that they can do just about anything with our help... what an amazing to live life knowing! I love the idea of enforcing the ties as well - I think sometimes we can just assume that since we might be great parents individually our kids will just catch on - but I can see how affirming aloud to our kids really helps them get a deeper sense of trust and security Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:07:35 +0000 http://solarcrash.com/2009/11/protect-her-defend-her/#IDComment44848685 http://solarcrash.com/2009/11/protect-her-defend-her/#IDComment44700561 Hey Tony, is it really a fight every day? if so that's scary... i imagined this as an every now and then issue. do your girls 'get' why you say no? Meeker makes it sound like deep down it's something they long for... do you find it ever takes away from their own capacity to learn from mistakes? love your last paragraph Tony - though my daughters aren't quite 5 yet... hope they can join be a force in the world as well!

I was thinking the other day, what a tremendous task men have... then I thought hey what do mothers contribute? And it hit me that while there are many things I hope to impart to my girls, I can't ultimately teach them to be woman. We really need mom's to do that... there's nothing on earth like passionate mothers and fathers raising strong children together!
