@NewbergReport Thanks for sharing your gift of capturing Rangers baseball with us over the years and doing so with such incredible passion. I had goosebumps as I read this piece. Zero never had so much meaning. Well done Jamey.
Five Things I Want My Daughter to Look for in a Man
I made a quick list for my radio show one day, and someone asked me to write it down. Thought I'd share it. (So thankful our daughter did marry a guy who very much ticks these boxes.)
1. He takes responsibility.
He’s not an excuses guy. He doesn’t run away from his own mistakes. He doesn’t see himself as a victim. This, to me, is the essence of masculinity.
There’s a word for a man who will not take responsibility: A child.
2. He practices self-denial.
This can be shown in many ways: He can successfully work a job he doesn’t like. He shows discipline with his money. Or – how about this: He listens to people even when they’re not talking about something he enjoys.
3. He doesn’t respond in anger.
Some men think acting in anger is a mark of manliness. Quite the opposite is true. Self-control, perspective, and forgiveness are marks of strength.
4. He gives attention, respect, and kindness to NON -attractive females.
A very important, related question: How does he treat people who can do nothing for him?
If he tends to ignore (or mocks) them, you’re very possibly dealing with a narcissist.
Run away. Now.
5. His instinct is to protect, not hurt.
He doesn’t take advantage of you when you’re weak.
And when he encounters the vulnerable, he doesn’t make fun of them. He defends and befriends them… even when no one’s looking.
By the way: Even if a man seems “church impressive”, check for this stuff. Being on stage, leading worship, talking a great Christian game, being admired in public, leading a ministry – that’s neat-o.
But it has nothing to do with being a great husband.
@harryblackwater@crazyclipsonly Guy went from casual observer to in the water quick. Well done! Respect. May we all have the courage when it is our time.
@GuyDealership Does it take some months for these reposed vehicles to hit an auction? Or where else would they appear? (I’m in the market for a used vehicle at the moment).
@SummrWrites Is this the FAR SIDE? “Ernest’s fervent love for music comes to an abrupt end when bean burrito Tuesday overlapped with COVID pod orchestra day”.
