Todays (Rather-Long) Tought on the wise: “We need more men around who have lived through yesterday, and even if they haven’t conquered it, that have learned from it. Young warriors will sometimes dismiss the older men in their lives because those men no longer yearn for battle, or simply because they don’t come from ‘my generation.’ Thus the sixties adage, ‘Never trust anyone over thirty.’ Insecure kings often dismiss the older men around them; send them into early retirement, threatened because the older men know more than they do. And our culture in the progressive West has dismissed the elderly for years now, because we have worshipped adolescence. Our heroes are the young and handsome…we’ve worshipped adolescence because we don’t want to grow up, don’t want to pay the price of maturity. That is why we have a world now of uninitiated men.” - John Eldredge, Fathered by God, Thomas Nelson, 2009 James 3:13 #LoveLifeLead
