Let's call gay marriage for what it is .... the harvest of weak fathers.

That's a gutsy analysis.

But it fits the situation of every gay person that I have known.

Me too!

Aw, but don'tcha know, that's just "anecdotal evidence"! Yeah, we're supposed to discount everything we perceive with our own senses.

"That's a gutsy analysis.

Me too. I have yet to hear a gay person speak or introduce me to a father that was present and engaged in a loving way with that gay person.

The harvest of weak fathers is a truth that can be extended to a great many other areas. Its not really gutsy on my part.

I was for a long while one of those 'boys' trapped inside the body of a man. Then, I'll be blunt, Christ made an offer I couldn't refuse. (fwiw, I wasn't one of those crushed in the gutter types seeking rescue. Carreer was great, all was well ... He just sort of crept up on me and said 'Surprise!!')

To be a man first means a boy has to be willing to cast aside navel gazing tendencies and simply look up and have an open mind to His expectations. After that, masculinity flows as a consequence of having a decent dialogue w/ the Counselor that was promised to be sent.

It's been a very, very interesting revelation to me, and the subsequent journey is beyond description.

Weak fathers, in a nutshell, have weak relationships with God ... and our entire, relatively godless, society currently reflects that reality.

It was once said you can't really know how to live if there's nothing worth dying for in your life. Christ, sorry but this is so true, demonstrated that you just have to be WILLING to carry that darn thing the world wants to nail you to .... then you get to imitate Him in a way, and 'rise from the dead'.

Becoming a man is mostly connected with rising from the 'dead'. Or, you could say its like saying "I once was blind, but now I see...."

Or, you could say, "Its nice to be awakened".

But, I would be lying if I claimed that I 'grew up' as if it was something I chose to do all by myself. I would be lying if I claimed I was my own wellspring of courage ... nope. I received help, big time. (Thank You God).
