Courage, Justice, Mercy, Generosity, Faith, Nobility and Hope made up the Knight that served his King during the middle ages. This blog is dedicated to those men that will once again pick up the passion that these men had to protect and serve those who were entrusted under their care. We live in a part of Europe that is rich with the flavor that these men left behind. I have decided to begin studying what these Knights in Shining armor were all about. How they became Knights how they served the church of the day and how they served their King. I will concentrate on that to which they aspired not to that which they failed. We are in need of men these days that will stand for that which is right and against that which is evil. I pray that the Lord will stir the hearts of men with that which will be posted on this blog.
I have started down this path with my sons and I am using this blog as a tool to press outward into these "dark ages" and also to hold myself accountable to them...to remain faithful to the wife God gave me and the role a father has in his home. I pray the Lord will return our hearts to that of chivalry and to honor as men....and that my boys will be found as men of integrity in this world. I dedicate this to them...Matthew, Robert and Andrew sons in which I love and wish to inspire with my life.
I will be looking very closely at the middle ages as they fascinate me, I have always wanted to be like those guys......"Knights in Shining Armor" Pray the Lord will show me mercy and give me that which I plead....I want my family protected from all the evil that abounds..as any man knows his own heart is bent towards evil...may this stir the hearts of men to stay away from evil and pursue our King with a passion and sacrifice that defies this dreadful world and will put fear in the hearts of our invisible enemy the one who comes to steal, kill and destroy!
I pray that a passion to serve the King will radiate throughout cyberspace and that men would pick up their shields and swords and fight the enemy on his turf....the take the Battle to him draw new strength....find hope in this battle.....you must win.... or die trying!
As Teddy Roosevelt once wrote;
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly.....who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who have never known neither victory nor defeat.
Will you join me and bring back the days when Chivalry was honored...men many of our woman are much like "damsels in distress", waiting for the day when the man they married, the man they promised to love stops loving this world and begins loving and cherishing the one that God gave them. This battle begins with your marriage it begins with your children, the first battle will be right in your own heart and mind.....
I won't mention that I recently read a statistic about how many men are hooked on the dark side of the internet...you must find the courage to STOP, retreat if you have to....but don't fall by this sword men ....it is lethal and will detroy you first and your family second.
