Josiah Franklin’s son Ben Franklin was 15th of 17 children. Josiah had seven children with his first wife Anne Child and 10 children with his second wife, Abiah Folger. By the time Ben came along, his father had plenty of experience and fatherly wisdom to pass on to him. Because of the death of his first wife, his father also understood the preciousness of life and that faith in God mattered.
Thank you Jane, That was monumental and incisive of the NFL analyst to pray openly and out loud on national Television. Thank you for not letting that moment disappear down the memory hole.
You are so right....
I will cross post
I love love love this.
I'd read Ben's message to his son before and I'd forgotten how amazing it is.
Thanks for posting it again.
I hope you don't mind if I cross post!
