The story of a 15 year old boy repaying the debt of his deadbeat father has recently gone viral. While this first happened in September of 2013, it's finally making it's well deserved rounds. If you haven't yet heard, Tona Herndon was visiting the grave of her recently deceased husband when she was mugged by Shane Lunsford. Lunsford stole hundreds of dollars from the grieving widow, who's husband had just passed away the week before. Lunsford told News 9 Oklahoma City, “As the purse came off, I looked him right in the eyes and there was a look in his eyes. It was a look of pain and my thought was 'He doesn't really want to do this'.”  Lunsford then sent $250 to his 15 year old son Christian for an upcoming band trip.

As Lunsford was taken in for his crime, Christian realized where the money had come from. He tracked down Mrs. Herndon and arranged a meeting with her outside of his church, apologized for his father's transgressions and returned the money. What happens next will absolutely warm even the coldest of hearts. (Watch the video below to see).

Christian is further proof that a fatherless son is not his father. His father was in and out of jail for most of his life, giving him one of the worst examples of being a decent human being that he could have. But Christian is not his deadbeat father. In fact, while Christian's example of being a man in today's world has been a deadbeat criminal, he chose to go a different route. No matter what our example is we have the capacity to be different. We make the choices. We can choose to follow in the footsteps of our absent fathers and do the wrong thing or we can choose to do better. Christian Lunsford chose to do better - and the world is all the better for it.

Utah passes law giving fathers new rights in adoption cases

Utah Governor Signs Adoption Bill Giving Fathers New Rights

Utah passes law giving fathers new rights in adoption cases

Utah Governor Gary Herbert has signed a law giving fathers new rights in adoption cases. The Adoption Act Amendments was created to help stop fraudulent adoptions in the state. The new law states that a biological mother must live in Utah for at least 90 days before giving a child up for adoption or she must file information with the courts about the biological father. The court will then notify the biological father before she puts the baby up for adoption.

This law gives biological fathers the option to take custody of their child before he is put up for adoption.

Great job, Utah!
