Most Moms think it, I'll say it. I just tried to beat and argue the adventure right out of my men because I longed for them to remain safe, sound and close to me AT ALL TIMES. I'm learning that there is a "wildness" to our men that God intended for them to have and trying to rid them of it usually creates quite the bit of chaos in the process.
.
So today as I was reading about one adventurous boy's misstep on Facebook, I recalled my own son and his many adventurous missteps.
.
Here is one:
.
I'm at work and my cell phone rings.
.
"Hello?"
.
"Mom?"
.
.
"Yes, Justin. I'm at work - what is it?"
.
.
"Well, I was outside and I thought I'd see if I could throw the baseball over our [two story] house."
.
"Yeah?"
.
"And, well it sort of missed and accidentally hit the window instead."
.
"J---UST---IN!"
.
"I know. I just thought I would call and tell you."
.
"So, did the ball just decide to change course after you threw it or did you generally throw it in the direction of the window."
.
SILENCE.
.
He just generally threw it in the direction of the window. I'm not even sure I still know the entire story.

CLICK! - DIAL. TONE.
