"...being raised to be men...like thier mothers." OUCH!

Some SERIOUS #spokenword about #beingaman, about being PRESENT! I know women will "Like" this post - but the message is really for MEN! Are you out there? Are you willing to LISTEN and SHOW UP. "WE HAVE A GENERATION OF BOYS...THAT ARE BEING RAISED TO BE MEN...JUST LIKE THEIR MOTHERS." ouucch Jonathan Evans​ !

I don't want to stereotype - there are a lot of men who are right there raising their kids and living Godly examples...I am blessed to have many in my own family. But that does not negate that too many are not present or are setting negative, or hurtful, examples. The video is by Jonathan Evans, son of Tony Evans and chaplain for the Dallas Cowboys.

Then go see the #Woodlawn (a #football #movie for everyone), providing examples of a few more #amazingmen who lead by example - some confident throughout, a reluctant hero and strong conversions - yet the underlying personalities stay the same. I love that part...how God uses us the way he made us! (Release date October 16, 2015. Make it a great opening weekend!)

Pondering Arizona Skies...

Pondering the Arizona skies (getting gas, otherwise I wouldn't be hanging around in this windblown drizzle), wondering if we will have a sunny Saturday or Sunday!

For those of you who came to the Valley of the Sun to not only see a football game or golf game or classic car show or visit an Arabian horse farm or take an art walk or listen to an incredible array of amazing music or eat to your heart's content or or or - wow! This is a happenin' place! Who needs the sun?

Oh, got distracted there...for those of you who came for the sun, periodically check the news or weather channel and it will keep you quite happy about a few raindrops here compared to what's happening back home!






As for me, I'm still thinking back on sunnier days, and certain they aren't too far around the corner.
