Daddy Bunnies and Fatherhood as a Vocation

What do you want to be when you grow up? A children's book by Richard Scarry titled The Bunny Book explores that question. The book walks the reader through various career options for a baby boy bunny—policeman, circus clown, lifeguard, doctor, farmer—before landing on the baby bunny's most important vocation—a daddy rabbit.

Joseph Sunde at the Action Institute concludes, Surely this bunny will be more than a daddy. All of that provision must, after all, come from somewhere. But this type of build-up and conclusion serves as a helpful illustration that, although the world around us may be telling us to achieve x, y, and z, many of us are called, first and foremost, to our families.

This is a great blog post about fatherhood as a high and worthy calling.
