Naughty words and Jesus Comparisons
Posted by Ryan Woods
Are all men assholes? I want you to know that I'm writing this out of anger and frustration. More and more I'm finding that most men are in some way assholes. Sometimes I am...often I am. I know my brother in law Ben is (he's told me so).
I'm a church planter, a minister, a missionary...so I'm not sure I can write this blog. But lets just consider it similar to Jesus' clearing of the temple (except his motives are insanely pure and mine quite possibly are never that way...and I'm not God...and I can't grow a beard).
I'm not really thinking of all men, but more specifically of married men. Treat your wives with some respect, ok? Remember that you're insainly lucky to be married, to be loved by a woman, to have a companion for life. Remember that, although I've never seen you naked, your body is gross and your wife is doing you a favor by thinking that you're hot stuff.
I'm a minister, I shouldn't be writing this right?
So all you married bloggers out there, Ryan, Jonathan, Jason, Jonathan, James, and all you others out there...be nice. Don't be a jerk. Remember that you're lucky. I won't go into my long list of men who treat their wives like crap (there are so many more appropriate words here that I will avoid), but trust me when I say that the list is staggeringly long. It's depressing, it's sad, it's horrific.
So lets end that horrible epidemic now ok? I'll give it a shot and so should you.
