The Man

Some time ago, about three months to be exact, my father returned home from a short trip to South Dakota. This picture shows of his conquest. Now to appreciate him you must understand, my dad - in my humble opinion - is the man. I have never known someone to so selflessly give and train me in a 1 John 2:6 manner - to walk as Jesus walked.

When I saw this picture I was stunned, there is a man kneeling behind a bison...a stinking bison!!! I mean its huge and the benefits of the kill I enjoyed last week while I ate a burger. As I looked closer at the picture and my father I began to ask myself some questions:
1. What makes a man a "man?" 2. Is there a point in a man's journey which he ponies up and decides to be a leader or is it just conferred upon him when he gets married, or becomes a father or whatever? 3. What's it take to STAY a man? 4. Am I a man?...of GOD - like my dad.
