[blparent] she's finally learning

[Agnes Steinhoff]

Marsha:

That was a great point you made about little girls or girls in general.  I 
hope I don't offend anyone when I say this, but I will say that sometimes 
fathers are not the best influence on their daughters because of the way 
they were treated by their fathers, like me.  I would never want either one 
of my children to be treated the way I was growing up.  Therefore, they have 
a Father who is in heaven whom my children can have a relationship with.  He 
is also my Father and I am excited about learning from Him the true meaning 
of love, self worth, and humility.
