What in the world is going on with MEN? I get this question periodically from both men and women, who are trying to gain understanding concerning the struggle that men face. Just recently, a leader of a men’s group asked what my thoughts were on this subject. Then this morning, I read through Phil Cooke’s blog site (like I do almost every day) and there was a post raising the question about what is going on with Baptist Ministers and Christian leaders who are having clashes with the authorities, being exposed for unethical activities and in some cases being killed by their spouses for various reasons.

Whether we agreed with them or not, there is no denying their influence. With the recent passing of two individuals from our society, who both inherited and left a legacy - Yolanda King and Jerry Falwell - how are we to live? What will be the legacy we leave behind if we dropped dead as they did? Perhaps you think this language is a bit unsettling… and I do not seek to diminish their deaths in any way. However, the stark reality is that everyday thousands die. One day, we will be included in that number. So, as we think about death our thoughts should be informed about how we are to live… now. What is our focus? How do we break out of the moment and live for something greater than ourselves?

More Than Words…
One day you will forget what I say… But you will remember what I do
One day the message of my lips will pass away… however the actions of my physical frame will remain.
That day could be tomorrow or the next… when you move from my words to the next great thing which catches your eye.
Because one day I will die… and you may say good things for my eulogy or you will bring ridicule - but you will mostly remember me…
Summed up somewhat by my words… but mostly by my actions.
