Ever seen a Big Horn Ram spar with another? It's am impressive and powerful display of what a man should be no matter his color, shape or size. Strong in himself simply as a man. I'm not talking all macho, fluff but able to stand his ground free from fear and intimidation. The kind I'm talking has nothing to do with physical strength or stature.

AHO Authentic, Honest, Open

These are three words that I am growing to appreciate more and more.

Authentic, are you being really you? NO MATTER what that means are you being authentic?

Honest, are you being honest about your authenticity? Are you lying about hidden things, covering up who you are, what you struggle with, putting on a facade to impress etc.? Even honest about victories or good things? Often pride will cover itself with false humility by not letting the glory of God shine in your life!

Open, are you open to letting others lead you, help you and support you in your needs and desires? Open to correction, encouragement and love? Open to non conforming ways? Open to adventure and trusting God to lead you wherever He wants?

Every man is an equal. A man is simply that, a man. I have recently come into relationship with a group of authentic and great men that are challenging me in ways I've not been so in awhile!

For that I thank God!
