Men Support Men
Have you ever wondered why mass shootings are typically instigated by men? Have you ever wondered why men typically are the causes of domestic violence in the home? I never, in a million years, would ever excuse domestic violence or mass violence on any level because it goes without saying, that it is wrong. I don’t think anyone would argue otherwise. Also, if you, or anyone you know has personally experienced any kind of physical violence, then from the bottom of my heart, my soul hurts on your behalf. I feel tremendous compassion for you in this moment as I write this. What I want to consider here is how men, in particular, get to the point of a violent act. I believe it can all be rooted back to poor emotional regulation or suppression. I think that many men in the general population have not been encouraged properly to “feel” to simply “be.”

Unusual Interruption
Today, in Sunday morning church service, there was a flying squirrel that somehow flew into the church. It was flying in big circles and then it got hit by one of the fan blades. Stunned by the chop of the fan, it flopped right on top of Maudy Prinkle’s head. Maudy is prim and far too proper. She was wearing gaudy hat that was so big it could have served as an unbrella for a small heard of sheep. Although the sheep might have been too embarrassed to be under such an ugly hat.
