What is Happening to Men?
Have you noticed a decrease in men being manly? I mean you have the version that thinks they are manly, but rather they’d be the more selfish version who focuses on the Gym, Tanning, and Laundry every morning. Are men becoming less outright in their chivalry or are we seeing a generation of guys who are either totally passive or the complete opposite side of the spectrum where they have no regard for anyone but themselves? These are my precursor thoughts to this subject before we see todays TED Talk of the day by Philip Zimbardo.
Here is one more thought to this.
How have women played into the position of where men are at today? Granted it means that men shaped their paths by the acceptance of women. Think of the “nice guy” who turns to a jerk because he keeps finding girls who like the jerks. I was in a small group setting one time talking about this type of subjet and some ladies, who might read this, and we were talking about the role of a husband and wife. The ladies wanted their guys to be more aggressive and to take the lead. My question, because of what I saw all too often, was that if he did take the lead, would you actually allow him to lead or jump in and make corrections.
Those were just a few more thoughts on that subject! What do you think?
Women.. What do you want a guy to be like?
Men.. what is it that makes us passive at times?
Tortured by a Toss
If you have been watching the news or ESPN in the last few days, you will have heard the story of Shannon Stone who went after a ball in the Texas Rangers game, who fell over a railing and died. This ball had been tossed in their direction from Josh Hamilton, after Mr. Stone had been yelling for him to throw a ball in their direction. This is a terrible situation for the Stone family, the Hamilton family, and the Rangers organization. Ever since I saw this story on WXYZ on Thursday night, my heart has been wrenched over this whole situation. Then when I found out it was from a ball thrown from Hamilton, I was blown away by the huge impact that this will have on him.
I write this today as a fan of Hamilton and asking that everyone be praying for him. This has huge potential to be a debilitating situation for any person. Hamilton has had rough times in life and has had successes. Check out his story here:
So.. I ask you to take a few minutes each day and pray for Hamilton. There are a lot of people who need prayer each day as well, which you should support them as well, but I ask for this because he has an incredible platform where kids are looking at him as a role model and to see how a man works through hard times. They see too many bad examples but I believe Hamilton can be a REAL man in the situation.
