We Give Our Kids a Tee Shirt
Printed on the front and back;
Stand up for what you believe in …
… even if you are standing alone.
How much better, if instead of a tee shirt,
we offered something more.
By standing behind them offering support, and
By standing beside them in their sacrifice; and
By standing in front of them, leading by our example.
Here is a moment of truth.
That time when you know for certain that it is time to pick a side; and you’re wondering if you are willing to make the sacrifice.
Sacrifice is the currency of commitment.
If our commitment is to hold ourselves honestly accountable
to a meaningful standards of conduct
as role models for our 99,000 of our sons and daughters;
then our sacrifice, is to make it so.
