Where did all the men go?
Who is ready to "man up" and take a stand for the orginal man?
God created man first, no one I know will agrue that fact. But definition of man can be summed up pretty easy. At least from my window of life. Men are to take leadership roles. They are to take care of the women of the world. Their women that is. Their daughters, wifes, sisters. But they don't, they don't "man up".
The average household today in America is single mothers. Boys are searching all the wrong places for father roles. Daughters are seraching also for that godly leader to guide and protect them.
Man up, it's your call. Before you think of yourself first, think of the role that was given you at birth, if you are male. Women must man up to the call to teach their daughters how to settle only for a godly man and expect nothing less from the man in her life.
What does your Man Up look like?

Culture or Religion
As a Christian women was speaking to her friend about the difference in their beliefs. I was taken back as I heard her say "you aren't a very good Jew". Was it because she didn't take on the traditions of the culture or that she didn't go to the synagogue, or was it she didn't have any faith at all? Or was it out of ignorance on both of their parts?
The Christian lady didn't go to church, didn't have a routine of bible reading and studying. The culture traditions she attended were mostly family dinners and gift giving at Christmas and Easter baskets. So in fact she wasn't a very good Christian. Maybe this is why they became friends.
Being a Jew is a culture one is born into. It is also a faith where Jesus is known as a prophet. A very good man,who taught the old testament of Moses, Noah,Daniel,and Isaiah.
My soul was sadden that neither of them really had a stand. It is known the Jews were Gods chosen people. It is also known we the gentiles were instructed to lead his people back to him. Why could neither of them see their place in Gods hands?
A lesson here for me, is that I will strive to understand the cultures of others and know that Jesus did not push his gift on anyone. But he did speak truth to all within hearing distance.
There is nothing that we take with us from this earth. It is all too important of what we leave behind. I sure hope it will be said one day that I left the heart to serve and the words of truth to those who wanted to accept the gift from God his only son Jesus.

Another point of view
It's commonly heard "wait till your father comes home." What are we really saying? I don't have time to deal with this./ or are we saying, you don't have to listen to me I'm merely a women and men get the bigger respect.
Actually that is how I looked at it.( when I was the child) That is one reason, I suppose I was known as the stronger diciplinary parent.
Don't miss understand me, It takes both parents to guide a child, and the child needs to know the parents work together. This is for married parents as well goes the same for the divorced.
Please feel free to question my thoughts or ask your questions. I would love to hear from you

Your life is what your thoughts make it.
Count your blessings not your troubles
Act rather than Re Act.

Remeber
When you were first placed in my arms; I gracefully held the gift from God.
I kissed your face and whispered these words in your tiny ear.
"Remember always the words the angels spoke to you."
"Remember what God placed in your heart before he sent you to me."
Daily, over the first year I would remind you to listen closely, keep your eyes on the angels that God gave you, to watch over you all the days of your life.
I never wanted you to forget. Never ever forget what it felt like hear God's angels softly in your ear.
I have forgotten.
I dream of hearing their voices.
I ask God for his own voices to be heard. My heart hears his words, or is it the memory of long ago?
Do not be afraid to ask God for the favor of his angels.
However never forget you were placed above them.
They are mysterious, this is true. But you my child; how very special you are. Above the angels with more power and value.
Do not take my word for the truth. Search it for yourself. Search out how God's plan was to make you holy.
You were to be set apart all other creations.
He trusted you to make choices to glorify him.
He trusted you with secrets and dreams.
Every dream your heart had was placed there by his love for you.
God believes in you, because you were made in his image.
Jesus once asked "Who do you say that I am?"
I ask you a similar question; "Who do you say you are?"
I kissed your face and whispered these words in your tiny ear.
"Remember always the words the angels spoke to you."
"Remember what God placed in your heart before he sent you to me."
