The ‘Purity Ball’ - how you can be a father to your daughter
July 23, 2008 by Michael Smalley
I love finding incredible stories that not only warm the heart but prove to be an incredible lesson as well. You have to read this story from TIME magazine about Kylie Miraldi and her ex-NFL football playing father. They came up with an ingenious idea to help encourage purity for little girls through a Purity Ball:
“There are some mothers and some uncles among the 150 people in the ballroom of the Broadmoor hotel, but the night belongs to fathers and daughters. The girls generally range in age from college down to the tiny 4-year-old dressed all in purple who has climbed up into her father’s arms to be carried. Some are in their first high heels–you can tell by the way they walk, like uncertain baby giraffes. Randy Wilson, co-inventor of the Father-Daughter Purity Ball, offers a blessing: he calls on the men to be good and loving listeners, tender, gracious and truthful. And he prays that the girls might ’step into the world with strength and passion, to lead this generation.’”
