Good morning guys, Tom Hale here with your daily God blog, and I am coming to you from beautiful Happy Valley, Oregon. I think today is May 9th, Wednesday. I just got done with my 10k run here in Happy Valley. It is about 5.2 miles. Getting ready for a marathon in October, my wife and I are going to be doing that and I am also doing what is called the Spartan Race here coming up in about 2 weeks. It is like a 5k obstacle course run that I am going to be crazy enough to get involved in, but the point is it is not about those races it is about just doing what I am doing everyday right now and just getting in shape or trying to stay in shape and eat healthy. So basically what I wanted to talk to you guys about today is starting these blogs. I don't know how often I am going to be doing it, but I feel like doing them everyday right now. I feel there is a huge uprising that needs to be done with the men in this city Happy Valley, Portland in Oregon and basically the rest of the country and because it is not just here, it is everywhere. I feel that the guys. I don't now I don't feel much for a lot of the men out there right now. I feel a lot of guys are broken. Broken, meaning their hearts are broken, they are not real men, real guys doing guy things for 45 years I was one of those guys, I am 49 now, but about 3 years ago I got baptized and a little before that I started going to church for the first time in my life and it has totally changed my life because all before that it was just all about me.You guys know what I am talking about. Go in seminars if you can, rah, rah, rah, I am the greatest and you go home and who is your leader. You know you are y our own leader, right. Now, God's your leader, you guys need to get that straight. I got it straight and it has totally changed my life. You know I used to look at guys like me when I didn't know God and I used to say, "Oh you know he is— he has a crutch" or "he has a Bible thumb" you know "he can't do it on his own" well you know what I am changing that around now and I look at it the other way is I see guys like I used to be for 45 years as the Weak ones, the guys that couldn't give in and say, "You know what? There is a God. There is somebody greater, so much greater than me, that loves me that is going to give his heart to me, but already has given his heart and his soul to me" and anyway that is where I am coming from right now.And what I wanted to talk to you about is it is just daily life, daily things that happen whether you are with your wife, whether with your girlfriend or if you are not that point in your life where nobody is in your life, it is okay. And what I am trying to do is just speak to you guys form my heart. I have been through all of those things, most of all those things without a girlfriend, without a wife or now with a wife and what God is just telling me and just screaming in my ears right now is for the guys just to raise up and take back what is going on or this country and the way we do it isn't by going out and just say, "Hey, I am the greatest, look at me" and we become successful. No, we become successful by giving, by giving ourselves to others. To our wives, to the church, to whatever we have going on everyday and how do we do that?Well, right now like I am thinking the first thing that comes to my mind is my wife. You know, what do I do, instead of sitting there and complaining about how she is not fulfilling my needs what am I doing for her? Making the bed, am I doing some laundry, am I you know I can already hear it right now where guys are going, "Oh man, how are you going to do that you know that is her job." Well maybe it is or maybe it isn't it doesn't matter, but at least you can help out a little bit. I am not saying do it all the time. I am saying give, okay, like this morning, do the dishes, maybe you won't do them for another two weeks or something, but do something for your wives or girlfriends or for your families, if you are 18-years-old and you don't have anybody yet except for your immediate family.Get in the house and do some chores even if it is not chores that day, then at least just saying good morning and having a good attitude, right? So basically that is where I am coming from is for all the men just to take responsibility and just to start giving of themselves and boy, I will tell you if you just start doing one of those things a day, you know how everybody says, "Oh, you know do one random act of kindness a day" and when I used to think of that I used to think of, okay, well I will let somebody through the stop sign first when I am driving. That is my one random act of kindness." How about starting with yourself and your family, okay because when you start doing it that way it bleeds off to others and it becomes a habit. It becomes the person that you are and the person that God wants you to be come and it just starts snowballing from there because you start doing it one thing and the next starts happening.And the way we become warriors, okay, men, every man that I know and has ever, have ever known has wanted to become a warrior, okay. You become a warrior, by getting down and dirty in the mud everyday, you get down and dirty by doing what you don't feel like doing, okay. That is like opening the car door for your wife or your girlfriend everyday, no matter what. Why don't you start doing that, okay? How about that one today? Open the car door or door for your wife or your girlfriend today and if you don't have that to do, then at least do something around the house, okay, all right. I love you guys a lot and we are going to take this back, I will talk to you later.
