I am the author of The Step-Father’s Step-Son. The book is available through Family Matters Publishing at www.stepfathersstepson.com and Amazon.com. The book covers subjects such as: adultery, family, relationships, and parenting. The book is written primarily for the first family and the children of the parents of the first family.

Did you know?

There are female creatures that reproduce without a male? When this happens, it is called “parthenogenesis”. Even Adam said that Eve was the mother of all living! (Genesis 3:20) God has the power to do many things that we do not understand. It is time that we put our trust in Him!

In the beginning we were called “him”

In the beginning  we were called “him” and we were called “Adam”,…why? Genesis 2:7 says, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” We were called “him” because our soul was the primary part of us and our body was second. Since God is the Father of our soul, and our souls were primary, we also were called “him”. Today our bodies are first because of lust and adultery with a little tiny soul left behind long ago for the pleasures that sin offers. Eve was the mother of “all living souls” “And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living”. (Genesis 3:20).

Hence, in Genesis, there is a male version and a female version of man’s story of God’s separation of the genders. The fact is that “we” were both there! We were one in the beginning and we are once again “one in our family”. We are partners! Family is forever! (Matthew 19:4; Mark 10:6)

To all of you that have said, “Happy Birthday”

Thank you! The best present that any of you could give me would be for all of you to carefully read and ponder the two photos that I posted on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook this morning. The words that Jesus spoke are so very important and I believe  that they are true. Jesus is my shepherd. Let us all permit Jesus to lead us all back to God, our father. I love you all.

“I love him, but not his kids.”

This is the title of a step-mother’s confession as posted on http://www.theguardian.com.

“Alex Thomas is a stepmother. When she went public about her feelings – or lack of them – she was vilified. But she is far from alone…As she will tell you, the best-kept secret of step- parenting is that just because you fall for your partner, it doesn’t mean you’ll take to his children. The truth is you’re more likely not…Do I love my stepchildren? reflects Alex 30, a freelance radio presenter. No, I don’t. I don’t feel the same intensity that I do for my partner, parents, or even siblings. But I’m very fond of them.”

Do not let anyone separate your family! Don’t move in with your second wife! Do not commit adultery! Save your first family!

Do Step-Fathers Really Love Step-Children?

According to Ohio State University Research, “Men who are raising stepchildren may be less satisfied raising these children once they become biological fathers for the first time. ..The findings fall in line with evolvutionary theory which states that biological parents have a genetic predisposition to expressing more concern toward their biological children rather than stepchildren.”(www.osu.edu, William McDonald)
