"Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou may live long on the earth" (Ephesians 5:2,3).

Within a span of five weeks, we celebrate Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day here in America. Somehow, we have allowed these special days to be commercialized like other special days on our calendar. Fathers and mothers are foundational to the family structure.

I can’t tell you how many times I have traveled Highway 22 between Paris and Fort Smith, Arkansas. I was a second grader in Mrs. Burkhead’s class when our family moved from Paris to Fort Smith for Daddy to find work. That was the first time in my memory that I remember making that trip.
