Dads, take extra time to express to your daughter(s) in both written, oral, and physical ways just how much your daughters mean to you. Data and common sense suggests that if they are confident in your love for them they will benefit immensely - like an inoculation against the ills to which a teenage girl with low self-esteem will naturally be susceptible.
A parent, father.

Paradoxically, however, the valley of the shadow of death is also a place where God's presence seems stronger, his grace more visable, and the prayers of friends are mysteriously felt. And it's in light of these realities that I'm left wondering why I want out of this valley so badly.
