What you have described has long been a desire of my heart. Most of the men going back in my family or wife’s family were hard men. Harsh, stern, rough. Some even abusive. God made me to be a bit different. Not any weaker or anything like that, still strong in a protection sense. But tender, compassionate, affectionate. Being willing to listen, serve, lay my life down to help others grow. At least these are goals I think about a lot of the time. There’s still more than adequate failure, but it’s important and to see my kids and wife grow up without fear of me. Hopefully with respect and comradery and being able to rely on me. These are at least my goals. Growing up or being married to a person of fear and dread is not a picture of God. Anyways, I really liked what you had to say and what you shared. These are important paths we try to walk on.

Thanks my friend. My dad was an English teacher and he really got me into a lot of reading and writing when I was young.
