Major Attributes a Godly Man Inherits

Last night my husband and I ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant.

We chatted and laughed as the colorful decor listened to our conversation.

When we were done exploring each other’s day over tortilla chips and queso, we walked to the counter to pay our bill. As the waitress took our payment she asked if we were on a date. I said, “Yes, a married date.”

We walked through the doors, full of attentive affection and love.

Our attributes as a couple shined like the yellow chairs amidst the restaurant.

Godly attributes of a man should majorly impact his wife and others around him.

Those godly attributes should entail:

Love that is found within the gold seams of a bible that is read by a husband under a glistening lamp.
Leadership that is drafted into prayer with his family
Guidance that is architected into wise words with his wife and children
Protector of souls and warrior of hearts
Casting out a safety net for finances, provision, and trials
Disciple-like character that practices teaching, preaching, and friendship
Yoke-like help that assists in duties of the mind

A godly man cherishes his household and leads them like a shepherd towards the pen of peace.

He is gracefully firm when disciplining his children and graces his wife with value.

A Godly man besets the path that the family will travel, lightening the load of mental backpacks and clearing limbs of labor.

His attributes will lead his family with strength and glorify God. They will light upon his wife, family, and others around him.

"Memory Day" Memories

“Memory Day” Memories August 11 th , 2008 will always be etched in my mind. Why? Do you ask? That was the day the leading man in my life went home, my dad, Bob J. O’Banion. He was my encourager, support system, teacher, boulder, and most importantly, a godly leader. When you needed a hand, both of his calloused hands were there to hug, shake, and give you a pat on the back. When you needed Christian advice, his wisdom traveled from his can line to yours. With the can pressed against your ear, you’d hear, “God is the way, the truth, and the light.” He was a true definition of a man, a sovereign man. Integrity made him a humble guide through the Blueridge Mountains, the dry desert, and beyond. Love lined his face with deep canyon wrinkles. He sought and dug ditches to provide. The rooftop was his “day home”. Sun-tanned skin branded him a “sweat by the brow” toiler. Family sto...

Seasonal Change

The loss of my dad still hurts, especially when seasons change. . For those who have lost a loved one, the aching still seems to pulsate through the cracks left upon our hearts. . Seasonal change can breeze in bronzes of bereavement. It can fall with ambers of aches and molasses colored missing. . For me, this is true about Autumn. The leaves change once again, and my dad’s memory wafts o’er red-roofed wishing wells. The shallow water collects pennies of “wish you were here” under Birch trees. . Seasons and holidays blow in memories that patina the past. . Those who have lost a parent, we think upon childhood memoirs. Instances where we held our mom or dad’s hands, while strolling under amber stained glass etched with maple leaves. . I think upon harvest memories where the jack-o-lanterns flow, and the crockpot chili steams in bowls. . My dad walks behind my brother and I as we prance towards candy. In seasonal memory “trick-or-treats” bounce of...

Eradication of Women

Eradication of the Woman . The biological woman is being eradicated second by second with secularistic folly. . The woman is being black-washed with worldly paint that is stained with sinful strips of stupidity. . The life of a woman is being subdued by subterranean slyness. In the tunnels of dark thoughts, biology is being hidden in the crevices of craftiness. God’s nature and order are being covered by demonic dirt. . - Nature: God has given us fierce feminine genes that only the true woman can bare. A man cannot possess these genes with a fickle change of temporary thought. - Order: Womanly empowerment does not embody a man. As the character, Eowyn, boldly hailed as she slayed evil in Tolkien’s, Lord of the Rings, “I am no man!” . No ladies, we are women…women of God! We are poised with difference and uniquely special. We are biologically beautiful, and men cannot “think” themselves into our territory of traits. . In today’s lifeless and uncharted societ...
