Life can take many twists and turns through dark times and unexpected tragedies. But we can rest assured knowing there is nothing that happens outside of God’s knowledge and His purposeful plan.

According to Mark Hancock, the CEO of Trail Life USA, we are outsourcing so much within our society, but one thing we cannot outsource is being a dad!

Father to Son
Dear Son, As you're getting older, I wanted to write you about something crucial. This is a hard topic, and it's not always easy for dads to talk about it with our sons. Sometimes, as you know, it's much simpler to talk about the Celtics, or the weather, or that new gadget you really, really need (just like the last one)!
