While attending a seminar (IBLP), I learn some biblical principles and gain some insights to living, and parenting, money, etc. During one of the sessions, the speaker mentioned that in his experience in working with the youths, he realised that working with their Fathers is key to the success. True enough, there are researchers and youth ministers (e.g. Josh McDowell) who points to the Dad for many of the major psychological and sociological problems in youth nowadays. The absence / presence of a father can affect the child more significantly than we can ever imagine. On the contrary, dads who are more involved in the lives of their kids and intentionally build intimate relationships with them allows the kids to grow up in a healthy environment. In turn, they grow up emotionally stronger to face the issues of this world!
(Moms, don't be jealous, you just have a differing role!)
And, it just so happened that I took a few days off to spend time with my wife and candra, esp when I am about to transit to a new place at work! I had a few days of wonderful time with Candra, and I really enjoyed the time with her!
