2 August 2022 The walk of a man carrying a pair of stones the burden of the stones testosterone the effect it has on the walk of a man through life, the peculiar interests of spiritual beings for men, the direction in which they are constantly pushed nudged pulled moved influenced, the effort to engage his will striving to be good to be with you longing to feel love, real love unpoisoned pure love unadulterated love, the privilege of receiving your love under grace , disintegrating as the years go by. Do men get recognition for carrying the stones? Do you know that your son will spend his life fighting? There will be little peace and happiness. There will only be grace and consolation , disintegrating , unburdening, his being of the flesh. I struggle to see how pretentiousness is helpfull, when eventually after years of persistent and unconscious influence the enemy might get him. How do you equip your son to fight for the rest of his life against the unseen enemy, so subversive so wise so old. Equip your sons to fight, give them knowledge , a foundation, the why’s and how’s, teach them to suffer well. When your son falls, will you help him? How? Guilt him? Lay on the guilt? Make him feel like a creep? That he is? Do you think a job and some money will uncreep him? Constantly urge him to pursue the external things, and neglect the real eternal things? Be so dissappointed when he does not make much money?
