Well…eventually, anyway. As any of you who know me know, one of my greatest desires is to be a good Dad. I think much of this desire comes from the failure of my own relationship with my father, and my personal desire to perhaps redeem something from such failure. I was reading the 4th chapter of John Eldridge’s Wild at Heart. Boy, I had to struggle to keep from holding back tears. Unfortunately, the tragedy of destruction between fathers and sons is an all to often occurance today. Beginning with small moments of de-affirmation and ending with exponential displays of hatred and cruel abhorration, most of the world’s current display of fathers and sons are themselves relationships terribly burdensome to the heart of God, much less the hearts of the sons who endure them. I’ll write more later; my heart hurts and my soul is painfully tired.
