Executive Decsions

I was recently at a powerful conference called PAO that touched on so many key factors in raising children and marriages up in a God fearing household. The tips and speeches touched something inside of me that made me thankful for my father. Dr. Tony Curtis stressed how the father has to raise the children up around the table. He is to take the child rearing reins while the mother helps in a support capacity. After the sound of every woman in the conference hall gasping had subdued, he elaborated what he meant. Dr. Curtis said this to stress to the fathers that with them taking the lead with a hands on approach with their children, they will be raised in such a way that God would bless him to see generations of fruitful off spring from his loins. His kids, kids, kids! That touched me with my father because Dewey Davis made it a point to take his daughter Yolanda to Mt. Olive Baptist Church. In turn Yolanda had a son, Anthony Dewey Davis. Now Anthony's father was absent, so as with Yolanda, Dewey made sure Anthony went to church. Anthony had Anthony II and Jason who he raised in the church. Reluctantly we went. Lil Tony now has his own children who attend church, and Christian rooted schools. So now Anthony Dewey Davis III or Trey as we call him(Lil Tunchi as he likes to be called but that's a whole other blog post) along with his brother Jaylen and sister Brooklyn are being raised in the church. It all started with Dewey making the decision that his daughter is going to church, his daughter's son was taking under his wing in the absence of his biological father and also raised in church. That grandson follows the example of his father figure and takes his two sons. Those sons grow up in the church, and when the eldest has his own children he doesn't hesitate to put them in church! The little brother then is eager to have children so he can do the same. A cycle has been started in which one man made a decision that forever shaped his life. God allowed Dewey Davis to not only see his grandson but his grandson's sons! My father chose to put us in church so now God has allowed him to run around with Lil Tunchi! God is amazing man. We are olive branches of Dewey's decisions.
