What you all have been waiting for...A non-sarcastic post.

I started to process something a few months back.

My bride and I were doing a nightly devotional reading and we read one about the way your partner sees you.  Now there is a thought. How does Kari "see" me?

-as a mechanical, manly genius?
-as a balding, middle-aged man?
-as a sarcastic, witty guy...that one is a given.
-as a Godly, in love with Jesus guy?
-as a fire-building, Carhart-wearing outdoors-man?

Just how does she view me?  And more importantly, what image am I giving her and living out in front of her?
The question that came to me is this..

Am I being the man I want to be? The man my wife needs me to be? The man God has called me to be?

-am I good man?
-am I a trusting man?
-am I a praying man?
-am I a hardworking man?
-am I a brave man?
-am I a loving man?
-am I a caring man?
-am I a courageous man?
-am I a fair man?

These are the things I desire to be, the things I hope to be to my wife, and to my future child.  The man I want to be is a man that is all of those things.  I know I am not perfect, but my goal is that man.
