My name is Wendell Jordan Sr. and I love being a dad.
My reason for starting this blog is to talk about fatherhood. I have 4 kids and have enjoyed every minute I’ve been with them. This is not to say that there have not been some rough moments but it still has been enjoyable all the same.
My dad instilled in me a way of thinking that included doing the right thing and setting the best example, I could, for my kids.
For many years I thought that this kind of thinking was rare.
It wasn’t until I went to the Million Man March in October,1995, that I saw and met many men who thought and acted the way my dad did.
Now I don’t believe that that this thinking is so unique. There must be men all around the world who feel and act this same way.
I’d like to hear from you to share your stories, your experiences and your advice.
I’m my dad’s oldest. He actually took me to the million man march in DC, I still remember every detail about the trip. From when we left and were on the way there to me having an allergic reaction to some food I ate from a cart (it was a shish-kabob). Its actually one of my fondest memories of my dad because it really played a part in my development as a man. Congrats on your new blog and I’m proud of you and to be your son.
Love what you said ‘J’as youknow i named my grandson Miles after Miles Davis & Charles{Bird} Parker as is his middle nameis Parker. I too try to be a positive Role Model for him,since his father is not in his life. Peer pressure is very prevalent in the life of young Black or White young men & women today even though a human beings’{skin-color}should not be a barometer to identify who a person is.We all have the same Eternal Father!I would have liked for my grandson to have taken more of a liken to Jazz& gone on to study music& a instrument,he took on a love for cars instead.I pray that Miles will evolve to become a productive young man& see God’s light shinning in& through me& to build his house{Life}on solid ground{The Spoken&WrittenWordOf God}& notMans’word {quick-sand}.Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts& feelings& concerns.You have always been a True Man Of God in your words,actions&your thoughts!God Bless you!
Peace&Blessings,

Hello Jordan -
Your blog is nice. Thank God for dads that love their children. Children are gifts from above. Treasure them and continue to show your love for these little beings. When they get older, what you instilled in them will take them far. Give a kiss to the little one.
Dad’s of America can we as men step up and assist Wendell in his endeavor and at the same time use his page as a vehicle to help one another in our roles as Fathers. The information that we share can possibly be used as a directive for some young Dad just starting out.”Remember that it takes a village to raise a child”.That was the school that i came from the if you will school of “Each One Teach One” are our lives so bogged down that we can’t share and exchange information and views? “Don’t wait until it’s too late”.Or let’s not wait until we reach the i told you so stage! Remember there are more minority children in prison,than in schools of higher learning [College].Lets’stop sitting on our hands and get down to the business at hand.Let us be a Blessing to each other…..God Ordained!Share,Share,Share!!! Sweet thoughts,much love!
Peace

@WendellJordanSr I love you dad-isms and your passion for fatherhood. I’ll have to keep that in mind during my search…
