Father, Farmer, Former-Action-Guy
THIS Just in: The Vatican announced today Pope Francis will step down this Spring in order to elevate the first ever Black Female Pope in the history of the Papacy. Oprah Winfrey has been selected by the College of Cardinals and will be ordained “Poprah The First”
If there’s one idea that I want to demonstrate, if there’s one principle I want to communicate, it’s this:
FATHERS, turn your HEARTS toward your CHILDREN.
Wherever they may be, whatever they may be doing, turn your hearts toward them – your prayers, your thoughts…. Seek out their good, and be strong for them.
And that’s what I want to do. I want to turn my heart toward my children.
Fathers, turn your hearts toward your children.
Y’know, I’ve had not just one, but a series of amazing careers: US Army soldier, military contractor, security consultant, reality TV star, goatherd….
But being a Father is my most important job. That’s what I want to be best at, what I want to be all about.
Our family had rules amongst ourselves when we were filming for Raising Wild – no sharing of each other’s secrets, no tearing each other down, no fighting on camera (we broke that one once or twice.)
What we wanted to demonstrate on TV, and what we try to live out in our ongoing life, is that we are committed to being there for each other, to having each other’s backs – no matter what.
The Bible promises that at the very end of this age, there will be a restoration of all things; and that the hearts of the fathers will be turned towards the children, and the hearts of the children towards the fathers.
Notice that the fathers take the first step.
So once again I exhort you fathers: turn your hearts toward your children. They need us during these times, whether they know it yet or not.
It’s Wednesday. Have a great day.
One of the earliest intellectual activities we do as humans is learn to count. On fingers and toes on our Momma’s lap, we learn the fundamental truth of Math. It’s right up there with Language as a first means to interpret our reality.
In George Orwell’s 1984, absolute and total control is exercised by the State. So if the State can compel a citizen to agree that “2+2=5” then, in abased fashion, the State can conform its citizens into any reality of its choosing.
“We’ve ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia.”
Another fundamental truth we learn youngest is the difference between Male and Female. We learn this by how differently they sound, look, smell and feel. We know the difference between our father and mother.
So when the State, through a tax-funded institution like a university or in the Military or the Executive Branch, compels conformity to the notion that a Male can become a Female, it crushes a core foundation stone of the human experience. If it can do that then the State can conform its citizens to accept any version of reality that propagates the power and survival of the State. It can hide its flaws, cover its lies and camouflage its excesses.
“This is the strongest economy EVER.”
This is a new channel presented in mockumentary style by a friend of ours.
Taylor Palmer plays New Journalist ‘Tim Fields’. Taylor was an Assistant Producer for RAISING WILD and ran us like herd of Hines.
This channel is hilarious.

We’re loud and proud.
We are fearless, and we’re anxious.
We quarrel with each other at the drop of a hat;
But we fly, sail and drive to help other people in an instant.
We blow money and share it irresponsibly; but we feed billions.
We love the big things and the big ideas.
We’re sentimental to a fault.
We help out wherever we can, and we often overstay our welcome. But wherever people of the Earth encounter us, we change their lives forever, and they want to come here.
We’re a country of goodwill. We’re a country of good people.
God bless America.
God bless Americans.
And God bless you.
Happy Independence Day America!
Each and every day…it’s a new experience. But it’s our purpose.
And if we can do something in accordance with our purpose every day, it helps propel us forward.
We all have purpose, but we think mostly in terms of generalization: You know, “I aim in this direction.” and “This is where I want to be in ten years….” Or whatever. Your daily moment-to-moment purpose is what drives your real behavior – what you want right now….
Proverbs says that a fool’s empty belly presses him on. And that’s pretty logical. Everybody will work for food.
So, find your purpose, and then everyday commit yourself to one act toward your purpose.
It will be less complicated. It will be less hard.
And you will have more courage because you know you’re doing Right.
