"I find that spending a few minutes in a little prayerful reading (from a very small New Testament which I have kept with me every day for the past twenty years) just before I go into my home inspires me to take a more positive, happy approach in greeting and being with my wife and children."
"An ordained patriarch blesses with his touch and his voice.
A natural, unordained patriarch - a father - also blesses with his touch and his voice.
I've found that the scriptures inspire me to to be in control, to bless rather than to lose control in impatience, overreaction, and criticalness."
- Stephen R Covey
