A title shouldn't be this hard...

         Upon being informed that I exceeded the Facebook 15,000 word maximum per post, it seemed the best solution might be to start a blog. Coming from a pre-blog generation this was slightly intimidating.
            I happen to be blessed with a Wonderful Wife who excels at these things. She is a tad bit older ( sorry, hon) but has maintained half a dozen of these "blogs"over the past few years. She had set one up for me years ago but I only posted twice and left our creation alone in cyber-space.
      My first title this time was " The road is only a guide...". I thought it was nifty, as it had always been my favorite mantra for most of my life. Looking at it gave me writers block. I could not seem to work with it. This may have been how I viewed life in past years, but it is not who I am. The eternal question stared at me again, unflinching.
                After much thought I realized that most of my  Facebook posts were about my struggles and confusions in being a Child of God, a Husband and Father. So many men appear to fulfill these positions without difficulty. They seem to glide in them with a grace and confidence that I could not achieve. I was intimidated and wondered how they did it.
      I have found that I am not as unique in these things as I think.
            I love my God and daily battle my human nature to defy Him.  I love my Wonderful Wife but often struggle to put her wants and needs before my own. I love my three boys but constantly fall short of the Bibles expectation of me as a Father.
     This is who I am...
