1. I might not be able to supervise them every second, but I can make sure that the majority of the places they go and have access to are supervised.
2. I train them up to be situationally aware and to know what the consequences to their life might be if something is allowed to happen.
3. God does not give me an option. I am responsible for them until they leave as an adult, and ultimately I will stand before Him for what I might or might not have done to protect their (2 boys and 3 girls) purity.
4. Love and acceptance are a given, but have absolutely nothing to do with my duties and responsibilities as the father. Judges 15:24 is not a hope, but a determination of what I will do, to the best of my ability.
5. And it is not their human nature I really worry about, it is the horn-dog 18 year old male prowling the post.
Well said!
