Smelling Yourself

You can tell who's not used to blessing because the moment a person comes up, they start smelling themselves: Acting brand new. Life has a way of humbling those who get too big for their britches.

 

Church: Men vs. Women

 

Even those who don't go to church know this to be true. It's a combination of reasons: Women are more willing to serve in church, the pastor's messages resonate better with women than men, and a big one: Women are more in tune with God. This was a good response from a FB friend:

Looking at this response, it's no wonder many men aren't checking for church, and I can't blame them. Many churches have more ministry groups for women than men, and of the men's groups that do exist in many churches, not many men are willing to get involved because for a lot of brothers, the idea of vulnerability and accountability is foreign to some.

Today's Thought: Old School Relationship

 

A FB friend posted this on my timeline and it caught my eye for one reason: A lot of folks want the old school relationship like mama & daddy, or their grandparents, but do they ask the hard questions of whether their folks were happy? Back then, married couples went through A LOT to stay together. Men wouldn't allow their woman to work, which made them feel like they could mistreat their wives as long as they were taking care of their family. Today's couples aren't tolerating what their grandparents & parents did back in the day. This post sheds light on why most marriages don't last today, because the tolerance level for foolishness among younger couples is very low compared to their parents/grandparents. In some ways, an old-school relationship is beneficial because old-school couples knew how to weather storms.
