When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game
and watch my daughter play soccer," don't do it.

to make the free-will gift,
"I'd love to watch your game today, Sandy,"
or the honesty to decline the request gracefully.

for any of the parties involved.
An honest, "No" is preferable to a coerced "Yes."

The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human,
as man who created a child and then, by his absence,
left the child fatherless and then Godless.

and refrain from offending against them.
