Positive Black Fathers Who Love Their Children

This is a blog dedicated to showcasing beautiful images of positive, strong black fathers and their children. This blog will also include monologue by myself concerning young black men. It is open to both married and single fathers. We want to let the world know that there is an abundance of black fathers who go above and beyond for their children. Psalm 103:13- "As a father hath compassion on his children, so the Lord have compassion on those that fear Him."

Why I did this blog...

Peace. My name Charles L. Crouch. I am 70's baby who loves life, God, the arts, and positivism. At the ripe age of 35 I was blessed with a beautiful son by my wife. We named him Charles Jordan. It was at the moment I realized that all of the others things (besides God), are secondary. He is my everything. I have learned that everything I do affects him in some way, shape, or form.

Fatherhood is possibly the greatest task a man can approach. A great portion of the success of the children rests upon the shoulders of wisdom bestowed to them by their father. We are to provide, protect, love, and teach them. Our sons are a reflection of our strength. Our daughters are a reflection of our willingness to protect.

As black men, we get a bad rap for our ability to be consistent fathers. Hopefully this website will make an impact on that stereotype. Are there absentee fathers? Yes. Are we all that? Absolutely not.

We are strong. We are loving. We are protectors. We are the arms of love. We are the hands of discipline and correction when needed. We shape the paths for our children to walk in life.

WE ARE THERE. WE ARE BLACK FATHERS.

What fatherhood means to me: "Fatherhood is a blessing and a privilege. I always knew I wanted to be a father so the moment I found out I would become one I embraced the moment and never looked back. She's my heart. "
