You know, it’s not too difficult to look around and see the damage done by, or the fruit of, fathers. So, occasionally I’ll share with you a brief article or story of a father who did something right.
Today’s comes from Indiana. A guy by the name of Ron Phillips founded an organization back when his own kid was in high school, 15 years ago. This is a simple organization that encourages men to get involved in students’ lives at school and in co-curricular activities. Pretty cool!

Have you done something like this? Do you know any men out there who have done something similar? How about when you were young, did a man step into your life and help make a difference?

My own father provided consistent, sound, thoughtful, useful advise. When I was angry at someone and wanted a payback, he very calmly walked me through the potential outcome that might develop. He was, is, a hugh influence on my life as a husband, father and former police executive.
