The voice of a man

It's an absolute must to have in your life men of character who will challenge you and cause you to - at least - evaluate beyond your sometimes isolated thoughts.Their presence in your life is "PRICELESS."

A couple of days ago I was with Chamar Glenn, a brother in the fight to transform families, when I shared with him a set of circumstances, that I didn't even know existed, that steeped out of my household closet. Just for the sake of those curious minds the misfortune that took shape in my house did not pit me against my wife (no stories of infidelity or anything like that). Although, I knew nothing about the fraudulent act and was surprised by its visit, like Adam in the garden, I had to admit I was complicit in the development of what occurred. What had transpired wasn't my fault, but as the head of my household it was ultimately my responsibility.

Upon hearing about my situation Chamar said, "There seems to be a cloud hovering about the nation." Not sure what he meant, he explained that the cloud represented a spiritual cleansing taken place. Chamar spoke of Jerry Sandusky and Penn State to make his case. He also mentioned Jack Johnson - the former Prince George's County, Maryland County Executive sentenced to seven years in prison for extensive corruption, and he reminded me about the corruption currently shaping the political landscape now rooted in the District of Columbia.

"There seems to be a cloud hovering over the nation."

Blown away by Chamar's insight, I quickly realized my state of affairs wasn't the result of something steeping my closet, but instead it was God busting down the closet door, exposing the mess created in my household. When I learned of the disorder on the previous evening I shared with my wife that I was happy for what had occurred. I knew, without a shadow of a doubt that was an opportunity to right that which was wrong and also understood our wrong had ushered the journey to a spiritual purification. What I never considered, until my conversation with my boy was that our (my wife and I) set of circumstances was a part of the collective spiritual cleansing. I chose to view my situation through the lenses of isolation, but he cleared my distracted vision by helping me see more globally. Chamar, a man, helped me evaluate beyond my isolate thought.

Having the voice of an authentic man who will speak - not just truth - but God's truth into your life is PRICELESS. A man honors the presences and voice of an authentic man - because iron sharpens iron. If you are void the company of an authentic man I suggest that you check your manhood.

Restricted Airspace

Restricted airspace as defined by Wikipedia is an area of airspace in which the local controlling authorities have determined that air traffic must be restricted or continually prohibited from entering the designated area for safety or security concerns.

If someone breeches those boundaries - also known as - a "no fly zone," either intentionally or unintentionally, it could prove to be extremely hazardous for that aircraft as well as innocent citizens who could potentially become the victims of collateral damage.

I was arrested by this restricted area notion one afternoon as I watched a C-130 in its final approach to Andrews Air Force Base. I live less than two miles from the base and watching Air Force Ones, fighter jets, C-130s and other aircrafts either make their ascent or their final landing approach is commonplace for me. On this particular afternoon I had an ah-ha moment when I realized that in 12 or so years I had never seen a commercial airline anywhere near Andrews - (duh) - it's restricted airspace.
.

"Why do we (men) all too often fail to impose airspace restrictions around our lives?"

In that moment of realization I also thought why do we (men) all too often fail to impose airspace restrictions around our lives? Why do we - the controlling authority - hesitate to prohibit unsafe traffic (our boys whom we always seem to find trouble with or end up in situations with questionable outcomes) from occupying our space? I mean - is your boy really your boy if he would put you in a situation that would compromise your word, your position or all that you've labored to possess - all for the pursuit of fun.If it ain't your boys jeopardizing the security of your peace, then most certainly it is your family. How about when you allow imposing traffic (family drama) to forge its way into your airspace! I often hear the wives complain because their husbands are reluctantly drug in the middle of some mess initiated by their mothers. This causes conflict to breaks out! The husband's position is: "that's my momma." And his wife postures on her pulpit preaching and "you're my husband." Can you see the collateral damage? A good wife would never do anything to hammer a wedge between her husband and her mother-in-law. However a good mother/mother-in-law would never enter the airspace of a husband and his wife.

O.k. you are not feeling the drama with your momma. Well how about the family member who keeps flying their aircraft of nonsense into your airspace. They fly out of control making questionable decisions that place them in challenging predicaments. They then call you and crash their B.S. into the structure of your security, hoping that you will do what they should have done. If you help them out - you've then provided them a runway to take off and do it again. If you choose against lending your assistance you then become the collateral damage of their angry attitude.

Our failure to impose the principle of restricted airspace in our lives equates to a life assaulted by unwanted negativity. Negativity complicates the potential peace in our lives. Erect some restricted airspace in your life. "Every time you subtract negative from your life, you make room for more positive." This will result in the designated area around your life becoming safer and more secure.
