Praise Jesus, I know a lot of little angels and their Daddies are getting ready to fly into colorado Springs for this years' Purity Ball. I hope you've all signed your Purity Pledges! 
What is remarkable this year, and Praise Jesus for using the Holy Ghost again, is that the secular media seems to have "discovered" this instant Christian tradition. We can only pray and hope that this free publicity will help spread Purity Balls all over this Godly country of ours. THIS news story will make you smile, and no doubt bring back wonderful memories.
"I, (daughter's name)'s father, choose before God to cover my daughter as her authority and protection in the areas of purity. I will be pure in my own life as a man, husband and father. I will be a man of integrity and accountability as I lead, guide and pray over my daughter and my family as the high priest in my home. This covering will be used by God to influence generations to come."
Fathers, daughters gather to pledge 'purity'
September 13, 2007
In a "counter-cultural" event, fathers and daughters from across the nation are gathering tomorrow for the annual Father-Daughter Purity Ball in Colorado Springs.
Created in 1998 by Colorado Springs parents Randy and Lisa Wilson, the event has birthed a "purity ball" movement across the nation that has attracted international media attention. Journalists from Britain, Canada, Italy, Finland and Norway will cover Friday's gathering at the Broadmoor Hotel.
"This event is about restoring fatherhood – one of the most critical issues facing our culture today," said Randy Wilson. "Research shows that the most important man in a daughter's life is her father."
The New York-based "Tyra Banks Show" will film the event and interview the Wilson family later this month for an upcoming program.
The Wilsons have been interviewed on the NBC "Today" show, ABC's "Good Morning America," Headline CNN's "Glenn Beck" show and the "Dr. Phil" show. Feature articles have appeared in Oprah Winfrey's O magazine, Glamour, Marie Claire, The Economist, USA Today and other publications.
The event Friday will include a formal dinner dance, ballet performance, live chamber music, a covenant signing ceremony for fathers, a procession of daughters laying white roses at the foot of a huge wooden cross and ballroom dancing until midnight.
"There is no place in our culture that celebrates the power and beauty of the father-daughter relationship," said Wilson. "We created an extravagant celebration to affirm a father's place of protection and authority and a daughter's incredible worth and dignity."
Wilson said when a father's heart is engaged with his daughter, "she is more likely to be strong, confident, and able to resist peer pressure."
"The research shows that the emotional and physical purity of the daughter rests on the shoulders of the father," he said.
