GLIMMER OF NEW HOPE FOR THE BLACK FAMILY: Focus on the Family’s Tim Goeglein writes in the Washington Times about what might be an encouraging indication that the Black family could be heading for the recovery room:

“Among Black high school seniors, the proportion living with their biological fathers has risen from a woeful 24% to 30%. While this is still tragic, there is a glimmer of hope this upward trend will bring about the eventual restoration of the Black family.

“If we are to truly solve the numerous issues that the Black community faces, the restoration of the family is the foundation upon which those solutions will be built – and that goes for families from all races as well.”
