Starting today, I will be releasing topics (features) two to three times a week. I will release them on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on every week. Each day will have a different topic until I run out of topics or ideas. Here is the breakdown of each topic on which day that I will release it on.

Mondays – Becoming a better Father.

This feature will give you some type of advice and a call to action to improve yourself as a father or it could be as easy as a refresher for you too. I believe in being a good father. I’m not any better than anyone else since I’m human and even I’m still learning to be a good father. If you have a better way of doing something I mentioned in these articles, please feel free to send me an email and I’ll post it or even have a discussion about it with you.

Wednesdays – Favorite verses in the Bible.

In this feature, I will be listing out my favorite verses from the bible and what the meaning that I get from it. This doesn’t mean that my meaning is better than yours. It is just how I see it. If you have a different approach to what the meaning is to you, please feel free to share it. You might give me a better look into it or not. It never hurts to try. My meanings will also be around fatherhood as well.

Fridays – Free-For-All Fridays

This feature is wide open to anything dealing with fatherhood. This could be something that is mentioned to me via email, Facebook, or Twitter. This also could be a response to anything on T.V., radio, on the Internet, or anything I heard by word of mouth. If there isn’t anything to talk about then this will be skipped for the week. This is where some of the article lengths could get pretty long.

This will also be a question answering session as well from all of the questions from the previous week. If the get a lot of questions, then it will be the top questions I have receive that could benefit everyone if I answer in a post. I will try to respond to email with some type of answer if a question exists.

If someone shares a better idea then what I have shared, then I’ll write it up and share my thoughts on it and it could even change my thought process on how I view it.

Proverbs 22:7 is one of my favorite readings in the bible that deals with money. Every time I read this passage, I always want to get out of debt and pay back everything I owe.

To me Psalm 22:7 talks about how you are a slave to a person or thing you borrow from and that you will always have that on your shoulders until you fully pay it back.

Here are two different bible translations of Psalms 22:7

 

Proverbs 22:7

New International Version (NIV)

7 The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is slave to the lender.

 

Proverbs 22:7

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is the slave of the lender.

Proverb 15:1 is one of my favorite verses in the bible. I try to think and remember this verse every time I get angry and mad at something. Being a father of four young kids, this is almost a daily occurrence. Reacting to something while you are mad almost always end up putting you into a worst position then if you calmly approach the issue.

The main thing this verse teaches you is to approach the situation with a calm attitude and the results will end up being better than if you approach it with anger. Next time when something makes you angry, approach it with a calm cool head and see what happens.

Here are three different bible translations of Proverb 15:1.

Proverbs 15:1

New International Version (NIV)

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

 

Proverbs 15:1

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

1A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

 

Proverbs 15:1

English Standard Version (ESV)

1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Psalm 23 is one of my favorite readings in the bible. When I feel nervous or fear for any reason, this reading helps me calm down and realize that God is by my side through this journey. If you have kids then you know the nervous and fearful feelings of a parent.

To me Psalm 23 talks about how you are not alone and to put your fears and trust into God. It also states how goodness and mercy will follow you until the end.

Here are two different bible translations of Psalms 23

 

Psalm 23

New International Version (NIV)

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[1]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Psalm 23

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[1]
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[2]
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[3]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely[4] goodness and mercy[5] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[6] in the house of the Lord
forever.[7]
