Because there's a difference, too, between the home being the center of economic productivity and flourishing in family rhythms and also just like you're at home because of global pandemic.

What's up, guys? Welcome to another five-minute fatherhood. So I'm sure by now so many of us are really struggling with cabin fever. And so I wanted to talk a little bit about the concept

of how understanding the purpose behind household can really help you find more activities to do

for those of us who are at home looking for those opportunities. Jeff, I want to get your

reaction to this great article that was written by Stephen Wedgworth. I think it was in the Five-Mend Father Facebook group that I found this. So thank you guys so much for posting articles in there. They've been awesome. But this was posted on Desiarding God. Who was it? Who wasn't the post of that article? And they were like, I think this is a Jeff article or something. Did you see that one? Yeah, yeah, exactly. I was like, yes, it was. I still need to read it. I see some,

some themes here. So let me just read one quote from it and I'd love to talk about this a little bit.

So, so Stephen Wedgworth, he said, we need to unite the concept of family with the concept of the home.

The home is not simply the place where the family sleeps and recharges for its real work out there. Rather, the home should be

the center of the family's work, a center of productive activity and social cultivation.

A productive home will be a helpful corrective against the

lonely and isolated home many of us are now experiencing. And it will be a corrective to the

experience of cabin fever where one feels like they are stuck at home rather than truly living

their life. I love this.

There's two or three things he does in this article that I found really helpful.

Obviously, that connection between family and home is really helpful.

That connection between home as the place where productive activity is done.

We've talked a lot about that.

And then he's sort of like the way he concludes this is this is why we're experiencing cabin fever because we actually don't think the home is not where, it's not the place, the center through which we live our life. And so we feel trapped, stuck, stuck, isolated when we have to stay home as opposed to feeling like, whoa, I got so much productive activity.

I can work for eight hours straight in and through the home in a way that is really great with my family.

And so few of us are experiencing that.

But I think this is a really awesome opportunity to try to level that up or create opportunities for that.

So I'd love to talk a little bit more about that.
