My son Jack will be 9 on Monday. Wow, how did that happen. He used to crawl around on the floor and and soil his diapers, now he plays football, reads big sentences and goes hunting with his daddy. Time sure does fly. Tammy and I gave him his first real compound bow for his birthday this year. Its a Bear Whitetail JR. Its a powerful little bow, not a toy. Its his first real "man" thing. Its hard for him to pull back. But with practice he'll be nailing bulls eyes before we know it. I love archery. After work I'll put my target out in the yard and stick arrows till dark. Jack has been my arrow retriever for some time now, but as of today we both can shoot. I'm looking forward to the next few years as Jack grows taller and stronger as he approaches manhood. I suspect like every dad I want to be a good father, to teach him how to be a man, a good honest man, who works hard, but most of all a man who follows hard after God and really lives life the way God intended.
22 Listen to your father, who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
23 Buy the truth and do not sell it;
get wisdom, discipline and understanding.
24 The father of a righteous man has great joy;
he who has a wise son delights in him.
25 May your father and mother be glad;
may she who gave you birth rejoice!
