Bit-O-Wisdom #47

(Photo courtesy of Grace Minton)
Somewhere in the world is a guy who thinks having strong opinions makes him more of a man. Somebody help him!

Strong opinions can mean nothing more than you may be very loud and obnoxious. Or simply stubborn of heart. 
The men who have impressed me most growing up - my father, for example, are men of conviction. 
Steady. 
Prayerful. 
Men engaged in the process of converting their hearts toward the fulness of truth. 

Follow their examples and you will grow to be a better man. 
You will also be a light to others. 
You can't do that without silence and prayer.

You teens wandering the graveyards of the internet, I hope you wander onto this blog and read the wisdom being gathered here.

This is a rescue mission. 

Compare it to the drivel you surf across most days on the internet. 
Don't give up or be swayed because some runny nosed web designer finds a way to present his opinion on an impressive web page. 
Sift the contents. 
Strive for strong convictions based on truth - NOT on opinion. 
It will take you further down the road of life.
