Well, the time has come, @SummRidge 's boy is turning 15! Alex is getting his permit to drive and even though Brian and myself are TOTALLY comfortable teaching him to drive we decided that Rascal should do the honors! Just touched base with Rascal and he muttered something about feeling safer in France and I told him him to stop being scaredy trash panda and to be a good friend. Got him in line now. Evidently Alex needed a new hunting rifle so I reckon they are headed to Knoxville to shop a bit! On theme for this week's fun is a Browning AB3 rifle chambered in .30-06! Y'all know what we like but be sure and wish Alex, who this post should be a surprise to, a big hearty wholesome happy birthday! As always, thanks to @SummRidge and let's all have a great week! Good Luck Godspeed (especially to you Rascal & Alex) and Keep Going!

This actually kind of broke my heart. Men certainly are not the only segment in society who have been, generally, bereft of wise leadership and discipling. A friend of mine told me recently that too few spouses “prefer” over themselves. Our default should be to lower ourselves and lift our partner up, especially if it challenges our pride and self righteousness, and, dare I say, our autonomy. Ponder these things
