Being A Good Father

The 3 most important functions as a father are: 1, to be present. Spend quality time
with your children – more than things, children want your presence. This also enables
2, to model – set example for them – live before them. Demonstrate love, hard work,
discipline, faith in God, service to others. Don’t just dictate but demonstrate. This is part
of mentoring. (3) Motivate- encourage them in their purpose, speak to their potential,
the power that lies within them. Encourage them that they have what it takes to live
their life fully.

Being Attractive For Your Spouse

Let’s call a ‘spade a spade’. Boredom in the bedroom is a demon. Cast it out! Marriage must have a foundation of
intimacy, and there’s no two ways about it, intimacy peaks in the bedroom. So, being appealing for bedroom
shenanigans is right. Fun is always in the future of a couple that keeps working on themselves to be appealing to each
other; nose hairs, beer bellies and even Brazilians. This is how Solomon puts it: “How beautiful are thy feet with shoes,
O prince's daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels... Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor:
thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies. Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.” (Songs
of Solomon 7:1-3). Being attractive to each other keeps the ‘chasing and wooing’ going.

Procrastination

If I could go back in time to offer myself advice (to myself as a youth) it would be "DONT
PROCRASTINATE." I wasn't very timely when it came to my assignments. Luckily my
parents kept me accountable. If I had known better, I wouldn't have spent countless
nights catching up on assignments that could have otherwise been taken care of way
in advance."
