"heartbreak ridge." I have quite a bit of experience being a father, 
going back more than 40 years. 

As a father, I have three children notched on my belt. At times, I have
felt like "the enforcer" and the only way to deal with those children 
was to use "magnum force" and "hang ‘em high." 

I must confess at times I felt like a "pale rider" sweating it out in
the "city heat," realizing no matter how hard I try it is not "a 
perfect world" we live in. What would make my day, and other fathers' 
day, would be a present I could really use, or at least understand 
without spending an entire day reading the directions. 

In spite of all this, I have discovered one thing; being a father is its
own reward. The Bible puts fatherhood high on the list of important 
positions in life. 

David, the Psalmist, put his feelings about being a father into familiar
words to all who have read the Bible. "Lo, children are an heritage of 
the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the 
hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man 
that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they 
shall speak with the enemies in the gate." (Psalm 127:3-5 KJV.) 

This year, my advice is, whatever it costs, go ahead and make dad's day.
He deserves it.
