Where Did the Real Men Go?

When I speak to people of my parent's generation, I cannot think of one of them that complains about serving in World War II. I have never heard one of them lament how the best years of his life were taken from him by the war. Yet today, there is a news story on ABC News (yes ABC News) about a Baldness Breakthrough. Amazingly, men losing hair are described as suffering with hair loss. Brothers, there are men suffering with cancer. There are men suffering in prison for the sake of the gospel. But if you are suffering from hair loss, you are not much of a man.

Wise Words On Turning 65

From John Piper:

"Eleven days after I return to ministry, I turn 65. One could look at this two ways:
  1. It's the age that most people retire; or
  2. It's the age Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and led England and the Western world to victory over Hitler's aggression.

I find Churchill much more inspiring than retirement."
