Consistency and Accountability
Three months ago my wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Planning to get away was very awkward during a pandemic, but we settled on a short trip to Collingwood. While having dinner on a patio right by the water, a car with five young men drove in and parked. Four passengers got outContinue reading “Consistency and Accountability”
God Loves Bad Men?
God loves men who are addicted to pornography, and God loves men who are not. God loves men who are good and loving to their wives, and God loves men who are not. The uncomfortable reality (to those who are slightly self righteous) is that God loves good guys and bad guys… In light ofContinue reading “God Loves Bad Men?”
Let Sleeping Giants Lie…
There’s a movie I watched -admittedly much to my embarrassment- about a man who experienced the late onset of puberty due to a medical condition. One of the most disturbing things about the film was that it highlighted the self-obsessive, self-gratifying, self-debasing nature of uncontrolled sexuality of the teenage male.

Part 2 to “A Boy Named Sue”
A Boy Named Sue
The Influence of a Man A Boy Named Sue is a hilarious, yet serious commentary about the influence of a man in the life of a child. First of all, in this song Sue was not gay or trans-gendered, nor did he struggle with gender ambiguity. What happened? A father, forecasting his absence in theContinue reading “A Boy Named Sue”
Alien vs Predator
(The following excerpt is from “Genesis Man: The Masculine Identity”) Ceremonies are not just for weddings, and rites of passages are more important than we think. You may be considering, “How can this Blog possibly connect those six words in the title?” The movie Alien vs Predator is a blend of two particularly decent franchisesContinue reading “Alien vs Predator”
