In God we trust

I know that my beliefs are what would be considered old school.  I probably would have fared well being born in much earlier decade than the seventies.  Others may find issue with that but me, I have accepted it; well, almost 100%.

The husband is the head of the household.  Yes, yes, yes, this is how I live my life.  Along with this position a few things must be accomplished.  As three head, the man must protect his family.

Sure this could mean protect them from the mean cold world.  He may have a gun or a large dog or an state of the art alarm system to ensure his families protection.  Protection however isn't just s physical thing.  Protection carries the implications that if any aspect of the family is threatened, the husband, the head will take care of it.

A family member is taking slick about the wife and saying how they may have been in the past.  The protector should step in and completely remove any discussion of the past or negativity directed toward his wife.   Of course the wife isn't perfect but the husband, as the head, has to make sure that the outsiders keep negativity and the wife out of the same cate with gory.  Any issues must be dealt  in house only.

Of course protection doesn't stop right there.  The head must also protect the emotional parts of the wife.  It should always be the goal to please the wife.  Don't get that twisted, it doesn't mean the husband shouldn't offer guidance, wisdom, constructive criticism and correction.  Wrong is wrong and the head should have no problem with keeping things on the right track through any of those methods.

As the head, the responsibility goes deep.  What this down not mean is your household is being run by a dictatorship.  The head of the household does not hand down edicts and rule with an iron fist.  There still must be a show of compassion, love, kindness, warmth, giving, sharing, etc....  The Bible says that the husband should love his wife as God loves the church.  Therefore the main goal of the head is to know God and how He loves the church so the desires of his heart can be given to him through his love of the wife.

Whitney already told you

 Today I just knew that I needed to write a post.  Sometimes I know what I am going to write before I start, and then other times, I'm just winging it. There are plenty of things on my mind and I still don't know what my topic of the day will be. That is until I know what it is going to be. I look at the people in my life every day.  No, not physically but logically and some of the time emotionally. I come to the same realization every time.  First off, there is no such thing as coincidence, in my opinion. I believe that the family you are born into is based on many things, but it is never a mistake.  When you meet your friends, lovers and others, it is for a divine reason.  All things work for the good.  Not some of the time; all of the time. Now let me be clear, two things can and are usually true at the same time.  You can have a happy life and feel joy while still feeling sad over certain situations. The reverse can also be true where in you f...

Cafe Bustelo with a little cream

 I don't even think there is a phrase that describes the feeling that I currently have about my life.  It has been approximately, a year and a half since I have last shared.  The truth is that I have barely even written anything beyond a text message in that time.  For a while I called it writer's block but now, I know that is not a true assessment. The truth is more emotion and far-reaching than that would connote. When last we spoke I believe I was legally ending the worse chapters of my life.  Now, this is not to say that some good times were not had in that more than decade of my life, but the bad times definitely outweighed the good ones.  The lessons were a multitude with nary a time to rest really.  I am good with the knowledge of this at this point.  There has to be bad in order to enjoy the good; the night must fall in order for the sun to rise; there would be no way to turn left if you didn't have the option of turning right.  You g...

True Confession!

I have a confession to make. It's funny because telling a secret or making a confession is a very hard thing yet once it's done that weight has been lifted and you feel a little lighter. That being said confession is just good for the soul. I know that the devil is trying his best to keep me from obtaining my destiny and this confession is getting ready to shame him because he is a liar and he will not kill or destroy me. I am taking back the power I gave him in this situation. I just had a birthday and I turned 36. I love when my birthday comes around. This year was no difference. Actually, it was a lot better than it has been in years. Partially because I spent my day getting to know a new person in my life but mostly because I have been getting to know myself. This is my real-life confession. I didn't begin to feel good about myself until I was in my 30's--I was around 32 actually. I had the most negative self-talk a person could have. My self-esteem and self-imag...
