@jeff_bilbro That sounds like a great time for a book like that. I enjoyed it as well. After, I read East of Eden for the first time. Have a good week.
A prayer to center on dysregulating days:
Calm me, O Lord (inhale)
as You stilled the storm (exhale)
Still me, O Lord (inhale)
keep me from harm (exhale)
Let all the tumult (inhale)
within me cease (exhale)
Enfold me, Lord (inhale)
in Your peace (exhale)
(an ancient Celtic prayer)
No human ruler compares!
May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you
May the nations be glad and sing for joy
for you rule the people with equity
and guide the nations of the earth
May the peoples praise you, God;
may all the peoples praise you
- Ps. 67:3-5
Eric Metaxas and other conservatives have likened today's political climate to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s fight against Nazis, prompting criticism from Bonhoeffer scholars and descendants who urge them to stop these comparisons.

@1scottjackson@Dom_S_Hernandez I think they are the same commentary. If I remember correctly, Baker acquired some Hendrickson titles around 2010, including this series (I worked at their bookstore then!).
Hypermasculinity is the rotten fruit of disowned shame.
Behind the mask of grandiosity, a little boy, hidden and desperate.
We settle for caricatures of these men, but I’m always moved in therapy sessions when the maskless little boy emerges in tears, longing for love.
@Rapzilla "Well here it is
Right in your face, jammin'
I grab the microphone and start slammin'
But not crammin'
The Word of God down your throat
It's real dope
And I hope that you can cope..."

"If two neighbors know that they may seriously disagree, but that either of them, given even a small change of circumstances, may desperately need the other, should they not keep between them a sort of pre-paid forgiveness?” Wendell Berry
Excellent article...
"The economy of pleasure turns us inward and makes us small, focusing our attention on ourselves and not toward something that transcends us." @Zheschool
“We cannot throw the baby of manhood out with the bathwater of machismo. Men need something to which they can aspire, and if we want better men, we need to offer something attractive and positive, not mere criticism.”
