Good morning, could you turn please in your Bible to the book of Ephesians in the New Testament chapter 6 Ephesians chapter 6 I Found that interesting one of the announcements was a Father's Day photo op out in the courtyard Now I know why all those Chino Valley police officers with cameras are out there. They're looking for you. I think maybe You get pictures the more pictures you have of your family the better off everybody is and always put the date and What it was? Because when you get older and you start looking at pictures and you say who is that? What was that all about? He'll come in handy for Somebody somewhere to know their family We're very grateful for God and The concept of father the concept of mother concept of family there's not really a Religion in the world anywhere That uses that concept that I know I've I got a master's degree years ago in world religions and I just saw how the Bible the God of the Bible is The only one he is God.   He's not a religion He's real and He's made himself known to you if you want to know him And probably one of the most difficult assignments we get is to be a parent a husband a wife a mother or father but to be a child too and if you watch the Animal channel, you'll see like this week. They've run several times what's going on in the Polar bears Down in the snow underground in a pit that they dug to sleep in during the winter for four months And they give birth to their little babies and then the babies come out for the first time and How the babies learn by just watching them on the bear It's an amazing thing in the animal kingdom We have bird nests in the same place every year every spring for all different kinds of birds in our backyard and Boy the mothers are they protective of those little babies once they're hatched even before they're hatched one year we had a red tail hawk come diving towards our dining room windows and Made a quick turn, but he was after the mother bird that had a nest with three little babies Just above our door and she'd picked that spot because it was a safety place If ever there is a time for dads, I'm only gonna speak for America though. I've traveled around the world a lot I know a lot of the culture for our country If ever there is a time for men to stand up not only be a man But to be a father. This is the time We're on the way down and we're on the way out and then less men will become men and get off this anti-masculine fluffy mood that our country has put us in And so when you think of a family the mother of the father of the child It's three and one in the book of Acts. It says all flesh Comes from one blood no matter what color your skin is or what culture you're born from or into we all go back to the blood that was in the veins of Adam and it's Wonderful when you stop and think of that. There is no such thing as racism Because we all go to that one flesh and when God designed us. He knew what he was doing And so all of this propaganda that's out is all out to divide people and a house divided cannot stand and We are a divided people right now and the more people talk about the issues the more they divide and It's the enemy is inside our country that we're wrestling with right now. It's not missiles Being fired as that lunch a few weeks ago with a friend was a pilot in Vietnam In the conflict there and he said, you know this Wuhan laboratory. I said, oh, yeah up to date following that I've been to Wuhan and he said well when I was a pilot in the Vietnamese war We all had a second Target other than what we're doing if China came into the war in the 60s My target was a laboratory a military laboratory in a town called Wuhan So that place has been a problem for a long long time We gave up a lot of freedoms and a lot of liberty in the last 12 months But one of the greatest that the people gave up willingly and freely According to the Barna group was in June one year 12 months ago After four months of people knowing about COVID six feet apart and we're in a mask They found that one out of every three Christians that were attending church regularly No longer attended their church nor watch the services online So we lost one-third of Christianity because of a mask and a flu bug What else is it going to take because we're told in the last days God's going to shake everything that could be shaken and The Bible says in Revelation whoa in the last days whoa to the inhabitants of earth This is a global situation not just a local situation For Satan that old serpent the dragon of old has been cast down to earth and he's full of wrath Then it says in your Bible because comma And I love it It said because because that gives you why he's full of wrath, you know, you like teachers like that didn't you? I like it when they say this is going to be on the test on Friday. I always got one answer correct every Friday Because they said this is the answer to what's going to be on the test Well, here's the answer to why he's so full of wrath at the end of the age Because he knows that his time is short You see he was created in eternity has lived in eternity and Now the clock is ticking against him and he knows it You were created in time.  He hates men. He hates fathers that are real godly men He hates mothers. He hates marriage between a man and a woman because God created them male and female created him as one man one woman and the two Shall depart from their mother and father and a man shall cleave to his wife and the two will become one and Through the love of a man and a woman comes the birth of a baby girl or baby boy and You are made in the image and the likeness of God So it's become very obvious that he knows his time is up and so he's throwing everything he can at the image of God Which is a man and a woman And he's got governments Endorsing the lie Then a man can think he's a woman and a woman can think she's a man and a man or woman can think they're both or whatever and Tarnished the image of God. This is a spiritual warfare Our planet is infested with spirits and demons from hell and They are controlling the media worldwide right now politic worldwide and You need to realize that this father's day Comes at a time when a national holiday just before Father's Day called Juneteenth Was just passed To always remind Americans what bad people they are It's very subtle We've given up a lot of freedom. We've led a lot of weirdos telling us What we're gonna be what we're gonna do and not one of them Has been voted in the office by the people So men it's time to stand up and be counted as a man a God fearing man To stand for righteousness because if you don't stand for righteousness, you'll fall for everything The word father itself is found 998 different times in the Bible King James version 998 and the most places that it is found the word father is in the book of Genesis 140 different times it's found in many many books But I found that interesting that Genesis is the beginning and it uses the word father more than any other place in the Bible All the way to the book of Revelation. It's just everywhere in the Bible But the emphasis is so strong in the book of Revelation that we need to I mean excuse me in Genesis that we need to realize that God emphasizes this important role that a man Has fathers are a specialty becoming a quick rarity They're leaving their families behind Fathers have special days mothers have special days back before the cell phone some of you Didn't live back then we had covered wagons in those days when I was in school and smoke signals, but then they came to the phone and Depending on what your budget was you might have had two or three Maybe four different people on your street had the same line you did but a different number and People could listen to what you're saying on your phone. The neighbors would pick it up in the 1970s in Eastern Europe when the communists were in charge I remember one place in Poland where the Man said to me now. I'm gonna make a phone call. I want you to listen in and He says hello. This is Jacobson This is your neighbor across street. I hear you listening in on my phone call right now Because some people got free phones in Eastern Europe and Russia and places like that By spying on their neighbors So you would make a long-distance call Cost you nothing with a cell phone now. It's part of your deal but in the olden days You dial operator and you say I'd like to call Portland, Oregon And so they charge that to you bill but the operator made the call and then there was what called a collect call Let's say you're at school somewhere and you want to call your dad and wish him happy Father's Day You could call the operator and say I'd like to call my father and his numbers in the chino And here's his telephone number and my name is and you tell him your name And I like this to be a collect call What that means is that when your dad gets on the line the operator will have to ask this question Do you accept the charges? And they'd say yes. Well that meant this telephone call He would pay for it because you don't have any money.  Isn't that great? however, the dads couldn't be outdone so They found out that every year the most collect telephone calls came on Father's Day and That's just how it is. I guess there's a guy I read about the other day. His name was Frank Howard Clark I have no idea who he is He said He's a father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be That says it a lot. I think huh? So We have these four little verses children Obey your parents in the Lord For this is right Ephesians 6 1 honor your father and mother Which is the first commandment? with promise That it may be well with you that you may live long on the earth and you fathers Provoke not your children to wrath But bring them up in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord I've done a lot of research over the years about the greatness of our country and how great world leaders way back in the 1700s had come to America and Detokedville is one that comes to mind from France The greatness of America is not in its banks or its Navy or its wealth or its ores and All the mineral rights they have It's in the pulpits of their churches is where the strength of America and American people are That couldn't be said today, but that's how we started as a people It is so interesting realize that's gone away And when you think of that the greatness came from the pulpits and now an article is just released two days ago that there are people asking that the Congress of the United States would now take away all the rights that churches have and their tax-free property and Their money being used for charity because the Republican Party is basically Republicans That are Christians and they cause all the trouble you see the pulpit isn't used to preach politic Because politic does nothing for anybody ultimately and Then you get divided because you're not this politic, but you're that politic and those two fight and It divides a nation it divides a home Yes It is pre Adolf Hitler years in our country and We're seeing anti-Semitic Things show up We're seeing Christianity pushed out and down in debauchery being taught in our schools and The things that are coming for California education are disgusting for the little children It's just why the Lord is even waiting beyond today I don't understand except his love is so great and it might be because of you And you need to give your heart to God today Unless our family stand before God. There's no reason for us to be a people any longer Because we used to be the number one missionary sending of the gospel in all the world and now we no longer do that It's a sad time for us. However If the word father is that important to God, it should be important to us very important to us Joseph when he was the prime minister of Egypt Was on the throne when his brothers came you'll remember Genesis 42 and 43 the famine was all over the world and Jacob said go and buy grain in Egypt and when Joseph saw his brothers come I'm sure that he flashed back to that day.    They went to Shechem and There was a certain man that saw Joseph Wandering no purpose It was a word that was used in the Old Testament language that would be a man that was inebriated or drunk possibly not saying that he was drunk, but he was Staggering around he had no purpose and he said what is it you look for? He said I'm looking for my brothers and my father's sheep and he said oh they've gone on to Dothan There was a drought in Shechem And it was a 12 to 14 mile walk from Shechem to Dothan and when the son got there Joseph and they see him One of them says let's put him in a pit Dothan happens to mean a place of two wells They were there for the water, but one of them was completely dry Maybe your well is dry and We have no record of how God worked in this young boy's life 17 years old But he did something phenomenal and there was an impact Between the 17 year old in God that's completely silence But when we see him grow up We see the wisdom that God gave him The bright mind that God gave him the honorable spirit and when these men come and say they want to buy Joseph doesn't tell him. I'm your brother that you think is dead He heard every word in Hebrew language, and they did not know that he understood Hebrew They just thought he is in the Egyptian and they said we are honest men in King James, I think the word is we're true men.   Is your father still alive? Is the old man still alive? He's basically saying Tell me about your father So I like to say to all of us right now Tell me about your father We have two fathers We have an earthly father, and we have a heavenly father Now maybe your earthly father abandoned you and your family But yet your heavenly father says I'll never leave you nor forsake you, but you've never endorsed him You've never invited him to the heart into your life So one you know really well, and the other you're not too sure about maybe Billy Graham once said a good father is one of the most unsung unpraised Unnoticed and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society And that's true It is difficult to be a father in a godless generation It is difficult to be a father when the statistics tell us that men that are Christian are Watching as much pornography as men that aren't That men that are Christian Divorce their wives and leave their children in almost the same numbers as those that aren't at a time when the church is divided and the country is divided and There's one solution that's God and It's going to take men to stand up for righteousness and call upon the name of God To be able to see anything positive come because we're going into a spiral I flew airplanes jets twin engines sea planes land planes upside down planes and around planes and for years and You know you get two degrees off leaving from San Diego International Airport and you head towards Honolulu Just two degrees is off. That's all you'll probably miss the entire Hawaiian Islands by the time you get 2,438 miles away from San Diego And if your life as a man is just two degrees off and you start saying well, it's legal so I can do it It's endorsed they march in the streets. I can be whatever I want to be That's the good doctrine of hell, isn't it? You can do whatever you want with no repercussions and There is a judgment and we will all give account of our lives And so we have an issue about being a godly father or an ungodly father A lady named Emily Emily. I forgot her last name She works with a think tank in Washington, DC called the heritage foundation. She wrote a really great article I just want to give you a couple paragraphs from it, but you can do your own research on it on kids that are shooters school shootings and that type of thing and there's some common denominators in Proverbs chapter 17 verse 6. It says grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged parents are the pride of the children But do we see that respect in television the sitcoms Back in the 70s it started that there were no more live audiences and it dawned on me in the late 70s early 80s that all the funny shows had canned laughter and America was being trained what to laugh at a Real audience would not laugh at what we laugh at And so we've been brainwashed and in our minds are just so polluted We don't have freedom until you get into this book Jesus said you'll know the truth. I am the truth and the truth shall make you free and Once you're free. He said you are free indeed every area of your life once you surrender and Emily said What lies inside so many school shooters is a deep void of identity and relationship That they tragically seek to fill through violence There's a sobering theme repeated over and over in the biography of school shooters the fatherlessness of a broken or never formed family and I've been part of a special team of people That gets called to these kind of situations these scenes from ground zero to Oklahoma City to Sandy Hook To the Aurora Theater shooting And I have some personal one-on-one Reactions from people in these situations So I know the pain in the suffering that comes to a community by it, but the repercussions Go on and it's always about gun control. It's never about heart control never about truth and freedom and liberty and justice and fear of God It's always about control those guns. No There are many of you here Well, I don't want to say that because you may want to check everybody's license or something but you know a guy grew up as a boy in Oregon everybody had a gun had a Brother an uncle who is a police officer two of them and he pulled over a man on the coast They both were juvenile delinquents my uncles and The judge one time said you're both going to the Marine Corps. You're going to jail They went in the Marine Corps. They came back and Finished 30 plus years as Oregon State Patrol officers the Marines just shaped him up But he made a mistake.  He sees the man gets his stuff He's writing it down to just get a fix have an officer sign it off walks back to his car The dispatch says the driver's license belongs to a man that 911 Is on the phone right now with his wife and he's on his way to murder her at her house And so Uncle Jean said in my mind's eye I saw that rifle in the rack in the back of his pickup window Everybody has rifles in the back of their pickup Window in Oregon just part of the culture and this is the danger, isn't it? You let culture direct your life instead of the Holy Spirit.  Oh, it's okay. It's legal in California to roll your own and to puff them all you want But is it right? It's legal to do whatever you want, but is it right? you see Speaking to fathers and sons You obey your parents because this is right It's a just cause Among 25 of the most cited school shooters since Columbine, Colorado 75% of the shooters were reared in broken homes Psychologists dr. Peter Langman a preeminent expert on school shooters found that most came from incredibly broken homes But not just divorce and separation if you've been through that as a child You know how painful that is but also of infidelity substance abuse criminal behavior domestic violence and child abuse and After the Sandy Hook Elementary School Massacre, and I happen to be there for a week or more. I believe and It was an ugly scene The scholar Brad Wilcox called attention To the work of criminologist Michael gots Fredson and Travis Hershey Which found the absence of fathers to be one of the most quote-unquote powerful predictors of crimes fatherless criminals Explained that fathers are role models their sons who maintain authority and their role models and discipline thereby helping them develop self-control and empathy towards other people key character traits lacking in violent youth Now my stepdad in my mother divorced after I'd spent several years in foster care I became very bitter very angry as a little boy growing up, you know as somebody else trying to be my parents And then she remarried It's my dad was an alcoholic never knew him. I led him to the Lord at 82. He died at 83 I asked him to forgive me because I wanted to kill him a few times as a boy Because of the life that we lived and I went to beat him up one time at 16 And I my plan was he'll come to the door. I'll reach through the screen and I'll pull him out throw him down And I'll just Beat him so badly. He won't even be able to get up. But when I saw him for the first time Maybe I saw him twice my life before that. He never paid child support. We were always kicked out of apartments Sometimes we didn't have dinner or a telephone or the lights were shut off and I had all this built up inside of me and he was a monster this Dad that didn't look after his kids and when he came to the door and I started to go.  I'll leave him alone. I said get your checkbook out. You haven't Paid any money for a long time and we have no place to live and he did Now my stepdad He calls my brother my brother calls me and he's had a stroke and he's up in Oregon.  Okay, so I call him. I Just have to say that I feel really ashamed of how I disciplined you. I said what? You know when you went to that foster thing. I know that hurt your life.   I Deserved every bit of discipline you tried to give me. I don't remember you doing that. I've always liked you And you see this is the thing about dads We're misunderstood sometimes We try to love you as our children and to be a good dad to you, but you don't know all the facts You're a ten or eleven at the time You didn't understand the pressure that we were under as a dad So if you're sitting here holding bitterness against your dad give it to your heavenly dad and Let him just free you and you men that feel failures because I said to my alcoholic real father I was speaking of the Portland Coliseum and I went to see him and He was sick bed And I sat on the floor across from his bed. I hadn't seen him for maybe 10 15 years and I said I want to ask you just one question. I don't want you to feel bad. I just want an honest answer You ever once in your entire life as an alcoholic ever feel bad that you never told me or my brother that you loved this You've never once hugged us You didn't think of us at Christmas or our birthdays Did you ever feel guilty that you never came to a football game a wrestling match or a track meet and both of us were really good athletes? Especially my brother you city champion and everything that he did Do you ever feel guilty about that? You know a boy on a football field on a track. He wants to see his dad proud of them He started to cry. He was 80 years old He turned his head to the wall and just before he turned to the wall. He said every time Michael. I put the bottle to my lips. I Have felt guilty your entire life Wow, I didn't ever expect to hear that before this old guy died and The Lord gave me grace. I Said you know what dad? I'm more of a bad guy than you and And I've hurt more lives than you and I forgive you because God forgave me and His died at his son actually died for me and dad.  I Forgive you because Jesus forgives Men that's the greatest words that we can be forgiven and we don't know how to be the best But God does after Sandy Hook elementary school massacre There's a scholar who took these two guys and And it took their work and made it ready that men are role models For their society for their family and home the late rapper to pop Shakur said I know for a fact That had I had a father I'd have some discipline in my life. I'd have more confidence Your mother can't calm you down the way a man can you need a man to teach you how to be a man and Tupac who was murdered in 1996 started hanging out with gangs Because he wanted to belong to a family The profound source of identity is a family And we are half of our mother and half of our father and when a father Abandoned the child They don't feel that they have that and so here we are in a society where the family since the last 40 years has been pushed aside looked down upon When I was Going to date somebody at a college You didn't get into the girl's dorm let alone live with your girlfriend in a dorm They had dorm mothers that were worse than drill instructors in the Marine Corps You didn't get past those stairs or up to the next floor No way But when all morals were broken down and endorsed by the government our families fell apart and We're paying the price now and To those of you that are younger if Jesus doesn't come back soon our generation owes you a huge apology That we gave God up to have the pleasures of sin You know the father in Sandy Hook. I know this family. I resourced them a lot. I Got to know the members of that small community Adam Lanza Sandy Hook shooter had not seen He's the father of the shooter had not seen his son in two years and later after the shooting He told reporters he wished that boy had never been born Yes Wow the father of Nicholas Cruz Died when Cruz was five years old The other shooter the father of six-year-old Dedrick Owens the country's youngest school shooter Was in jail the father when his son killed his first grade classmate Dedrick Owens father has said that he suspects his son's crime was a reaction to his absence Wow in 1965 senator Daniel Moynihan Did a research on our families falling apart in the 60s? And he found that fatherlessness would lead to a poor outcome for African-American children and it was published at a time when only 25% of African-American American households were led by a single parent 25% in 1965 Today 24% of white non-Hispanic families are headed by a single parent and The rate has reached in the African-Americans is 66% are fatherless And you wonder why every weekend Every month hundreds are being murdered in Chicago And you find out the zip codes and what is there and you see the fatherless the fatherless It's an honor to be a father. I never thought I could be Sandy and I were married she was pregnant with her second child when we got divorced and When we came back together and decided I became a Christian she saw as a changed man definitely a changed man My mother saw it. She said you're not my son anymore. Are you I said no, I'm not that one that You tried to help She became a Christian at 60 her mom and dad became Christians giving their heart when they saw her their daughter who really didn't have much to change from but Just they she saw Jesus and he became number one in her life and I saw Jesus and We were remarried one morning a week before our second marriage I was sitting on the edge of the bed with my Bible and I was reading my devotion and I started to cry and I'm not a crybaby it's hard to get me to cry and I'm crying They said God you got to help me I don't know how to be a father to David Mindy our first daughter and first son And now I have six children one was from high school that we found several years ago and Sandy and I have five and as I was saying I don't know how to be a father and I heard a small still voice it said Michael and only my mother called me Michael and Sandy called me Michael it usually meant I was in trouble Everybody else calls me Mike. So when I hear Michael, you know, this is an official meeting or something through and on here, right? So I hear Michael I Will be your role model Let God be your role model as a daddy And what an honor to be called daddy Wow You have an earthly father You have a heavenly father Which one do you know the best? Will you tell me about your father? Which one do you know least? Would you tell me about that father? Been met honored many many times around the world honestly in the name of Jesus from the key to Manila Philippines to a gold badge service at New York City during 9-11 with Commissioner and chief sitting right there. I couldn't believe this was happening and You know placards and all sorts of things, but there's no greater honor that I've had as a man Than to be the father of Sandy's five babies and to know them and to love them and to look to God as they were little When my daughter Mindy saw me she hadn't seen me for two years When I walked up she is standing on the other side of the screen door It was my birthday and Sandy Called and said would you like to have cake and ice cream with your children? He said yeah Two years I hadn't seen that little girl and when I walked up she screamed out to her mother.  Hey dad and Then hey pop you got 20 bucks Just moves on Pastor author Chuck's Wendall tells us of his father Sometimes quote I wake up before dawn and I love sitting up in the middle of the bed With all the lights off pitch black dark Talking to the father with no interruptions Nothing that reminds me that anything in life Exists but for me and my father let God be number one in your life You'd be the best dad in the neighborhood Be easy on yourselves Don't beat yourselves up with your failures.  I have a text a week before chase died It was just me his Bappa his grandpa Chase, I love you. I'll always love you. I'm always here to help you. I'll do anything.  I need to remind I love them in Dads, it's hard to say. I love you. Maybe But it's a memory They'll never forget And you're an honored people because you have a pastor That every time he has spoken to me about his father and his mother is with great honor And to have a shepherd who believes this is true is a blessing to you Because He knows God honors those that honor their parents in Proverbs 20 verse 7 It says that a righteous man the godly man walks in his integrity and Blessed are their children who follow Be a godly dad Mark Twain said if you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything Just be honest with yourself before God Yes, he addressed it to children Obey your parents. He shows your duty and responsibility obey that word obey means to listen attentively to submit to and be obedient unto me unto them Tell me about your father Can you say yes to all of that? obey and that word obey in Matthew 8 27 It says the men marvel saying what manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him The same word for you and me To obey our fathers What type of a human man is this? He can walk on water men can't do that. What type of a father is this?  You do this because it's right and that word right means observing divine and human laws and in Matthew 1 19 Speaking of Mary pregnant by the Holy Spirit. It says then Joseph her husband being a just man right and not willing To make her a public example was minded to put her away privately See the law said bad girl Bring her to the city center and let them stoner to death But God's love and the love of the husband who fears God Says I'm not gonna embarrass you. It's very difficult for me. Mary It's just hard to believe you're pregnant and we've never had sex, but you're telling me God is the father here, but I'm going to do what's right and what's right is You need to have this baby and let this baby live and Who would have thought that John the Baptist was in her aunt's womb and when they meant That baby John leapt in her womb And she felt it no fathers If anybody should be gentle and kind and forgiving it should be us and understanding Because there's many things our kids will never know about us when we were younger and We need to be patient in love. Tell me about your father and verse 2 and 3 honor them And that means to set or fix a value upon Venerate them revere them and why it's the first promise in scripture that you'll live along in a happy good life You want to be right with God? Then you'll be right with everyone else so in closing. It's a two-way street We can't bully children because in that fourth verse it says fathers. No, he's directed to the dads Do not provoke your children to wrath Bring them up in the training and the admonition of the Lord Yes, I can tell you about my father my earthly father Can't tell you too much But I do know he prayed two different times with me to accept Jesus before he died And he called me to verify that and the cancer had him so badly that I could barely hear what he was saying and I said Jesus is who you want to follow and he says I know I've asked him to leave me It's never too late and It's never too late for children to forgive their fathers Joy was born when I was 17 her mom was in college I was still in high school and When I found her first night Sandy and I dated I told her about this baby I said you probably wouldn't like to be around a guy like me. I have an illegitimate baby And I don't know anything about the baby. She was adopted and She said you should find that baby. Well, we found her a few years back And at that time she had two daughters today She has four they're the most gorgeous women those granddaughters amazing and One of them has four of my great-grandson's daughters And so I said the joy before I was gonna leave I said could I go in and pray for your daughters? Yes, of course She's a Christian and I went in and Tara was laying there and she's five and Whitney was there She was three two and a half three years old and there was a praise album on a cassette player next to their bed And I happened to help produce that album and I was singing along with it with them And so I knelt down I said, you know with all my boys and girls at night when I'm home I put my hand on their forehead and I pray for them that God would bless my children Now they're all growing up.  And so I knelt down and put my hand on Whitney forehead, she's like 26 25 right now and just has the most beautiful baby and she wasn't able to have babies and God gave her a beautiful Josephine and She said what do you think you are doing?  That was at three years old She's still the same at 23 years old, but it's all right. It's all good So go to your homes and bless one another Fathers it's a great honor that you have that you have children and if you've slumped on the job a little bit Just ask God's forgiveness He'll heal their hearts. He'll heal your heart if you're doing all you can God bless you Don't ever give up on them because their needs get greater as they get older and They still need daddy


It happened so fast. Water's flashing. I didn't hear a thing. I saw him face down, just floating there. Every year, about one in five people who drown are school-aged children, 14 and younger. Started doing CPR, and look at him now. Pay attention. Be cautious of where your children are. Listen. Deadly silence. Are you listening?
