Wanted: Men

Dear Reader,
It has come to my attention how every few me we have participating in today's society. While the work force remains largely male (for better or worse) many areas of our society have been steadily purged of everything male.

In our schools it is the mothers and women that attend parent teacher meetings. in our stores it is all the women that do the shopping in our Sunday schools it is the women that do all the teaching and in our churches is is the lady's that are responsible for making things come together.

I am in no way proposing any type of chauvinistic world, I am simply asking men to be all that they can. to take the responsibility to the fullest of their ability. To put their shoulders to the plow and work like the men that they are. to stand beside our sisters in their every walk of life and support them as they deserve.

This issue really came to light when i saw the graduation class at a local church. out of 18 teenagers only two guys could be counted. I know that there was another 16 guys laying on a couch or sleeping in and not standing up to be counted.

Ok rant over
Question: How can men be challenged to be more involved in the world?

Fine Dinning (Eating Before a Date)

"the salt; its between you and me"

Trying to get this blog going again and thinking about eating before dinner. I have come up with this really easy trick to greatly improve dinner manners. If you are going out to eat with some one and want to impress them simply eat before you go to dinner. This way, you can politely nibble at your food while engaging in polite dinner conversation and not lustily gobbling every morsel of food that is set before you. Because your appetite is already filled and you are not starvingly hungry.

I think we use this same idea in our personal relationships; we often fill our selves before we engage in a relationship. We use about anything to snack on. we use talk radio, philosophy, pornography, sports, stories fantasies, and anything that fills our physical and emotional needs. After we have filled our needs and desires with this stuff we enter our relationships politely!



This is polite engagement is encouraged in our culture but i am not sure that this is a good idea. Could it be that we should enter our relationships ravenously? Should we pursue our relationships like a starving man seeks food?


When we come to the table of a relationship we have so gorged ourselves that we really don't need the other person at all. We are just there for the pleasant conversations with an occasional morsel of flavor.

We even approach God in this same way. We have all our philosophy and theology laid out so each time we meet Him we have some trite question that we want to understand instead of rushing madly into His arms as we should.
