What fathers can learn

Meant to say something about this the other day...

Over on the reformation21 blog a few days ago, Phil Ryken noted:

Educator Allan Shedlin has recently conducted a series of 100 interviews documenting what fathers can learn from being fathers. According to Shedlin, being a dad

-- reminds fathers of what is really important, of what needs are fundamental;
-- exposes them to a new, deeper kind of love;
-- diminishes their self-absorption;
-- demonstrates the value of asking good questions;
-- helps them appreciate the responsibilities and obligations of power;
-- reminds them of the value of playfulness, imagination, enthusiasm, and wonder; and
-- makes them laugh.

Amen. Amen. Amen. ('tho I'd have put laughter at the top, well, no...the deeper kind of love, well, no...the value of...never mind)
