The Code

I was thinking again this morning about the code that I live my life by. I was listening to the numbers of boys in America without fathers and it made me question how boys become men without the influence of a father. I'm sure many manage to find other role models and masculine figures to supplement, but I think there is nothing so important in the development of boys than a Father who cares for and leads his son into manhood.

I felt burdened for these boys and especially the young men who have never been taught what character is all about. I hope that my life will be an example for younger men to follow. I hope they adopt the code that I live my life by. A man should be alert, clean, honest, courageous, loyal, courteous, and spiritual.
