Bob Stoops:Ten Years at Oklahoma

dok_oct_fc.jpg


Willow Springs Boys Ranch is mentioned in the cover story on Bob Stoops in the Distinctly Oklahoma Magazine. Click on the link to read the article. We are proud to have The Bob Stoops Champions Foundation invest in the mission of WSBR.

There is no quick fix to raising children. There are not often immediate results. However, in the long-term, the investment pays off. There is a national credit crisis because we want things now and don't want to pay until later. There is also a national family crisis. Often, our society parents with a credit card mentality. The funny thing about a credit card is... you pay later and you pay with interest. It is always more cost effective to do things right the first time. I think that I have heard my parents say that once or twice while I was growing up. Unfortunately, the bill has come due and we are paying with interest!

WSBR's mission is the proverb that states that if you train up the child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it. WSBR is committed to paying on the front end the cost of parenting, so that our communities are not paying later with interest and bankrupting our society. The product is responsible leadership by young men, husbands and fathers in our communities and families. Thank you Bob Stoops Champions Foundation for investing on the front end. Oklahoma will appreciate your investment!
