The Strength of a Man

A man is also like a ship,  It can sit in the harbor all safe and sound where it will rust and grow useless, or it can sail the dangerous seas and do what ships were meant to do.

That strength so essential to men is also what makes them heroes. 

If a neighborhood is safe, it's because of the strength of men.
Slavery was stopped by the strength of men, at a terrible price to them and their families.
The Nazis were stopped by men.
Apartheid wasn't defeated by women.
Who gave their seats up on the lifeboats leaving the Titanic, so that women and children would be saved? 
And have we forgotten-- it was a Man who let Himself be nailed to Calvary's cross.
This isn't to say women can't be heroic.
I know many heroic women.
But God made men the way they are because we desperately need them to be the way they are.
Yes, a man is a dangerous thing.
So is a scalpel.
It can wound or it can save your life.
You don't make it safe by making it dull; you put it in the hands of someone who knows what he's doing.
