Have you ever thought about the difference between the words
Fathering
&
MotheringMaybe you have, but does it strike you that to "father a child" is along the lines of "siring a line of fine thoroughbreds" or something to the effect of, well, simply passing on genetic material? Mothering has this involved character to it with mothering starting from birth or slightly before and going on until it transforms into grandmothering. It's such a lovely thing while guys get stuck with the quick hit father role. Considering how men have tended to shape word usage, though, I'm beginning to think it was something that guys opted for - to have that abbreviated parental role.
Allow me to strike out on my own here - who's with me? How about fathering lasting at least 18 years? I'd be more of a crusader, but the next confessional just loaded. Perhaps I'm just furthering the fathering problem here with my easily-distracted-by-the-internet problem.
I know I said I would wait for 10 mad props before posting a new entry, but...Nacho Libre was hilarious!
Viva... um... Viva... Viva Jack Black!
He embraced that part so fully, it was beautiful. A man beast of a fighter, the movie started and stayed funny with an actual storyline to follow. Versus The Breakup or some other sissified movies out there, this one is of substance. Think on that...and let the picture whisper sweet nothings into your ear until you feel compelled to comment. Por favor.

i was checking out my footprints and i just followed the link and it came from the uk. re:the jack bauer bag...what a gas!
btw you look seriously handsome. a cute boy. R U 4 real?
Extend that dichotemy to our concept of God and you have part of why contemporary Christianity can feel so unnuturing to people. God made us. God has expectations for us. What comes between?
I was watching my stories today...had a character called "Macho Libre". OOOOOOOHHHH YEEEEEEEAH!!! SNAP INTO IT!
Well I thought it was funny!
By the by, we should do a movie sometime! Gimmie a call tomorrow or something. My phone is right next to me so I should answer quickly
"My stories" is a term used by housewifes about soap operas. I use it for pro wrestling.
How come ur never on AIM anymore???
your so fabulous! and no. i forgot today she was flying home. will you de-evolve while she is gone? when I & the kids are gone away from Jack, he eats from a can and showers upon our return. our pastor labeled it de-evolving. plus she already knows i think your the cuteset boy with the new haircut ever! and look into our web cam. i meant web site...umm got to find business card... http://www.xahammonds.com

oooh has not been updated in awhile i see...molly is now 6 and jake doesn't play soccer anymore...i am slightly thinner...i'll get on that right away...
yes sir, that i am! we're just kicking it off this year. it's pretty exciting stuff. keep us in your prayers if you think of it! we could definitely use it since madison is so anti-God. we hope to meet you milwaukee people sometime soon, too, like maybe doing retreats or something together, all the wi chi alphas.
silly, silly boy. you've got renee and esther in fits over here.
EXCELLENT points on fathering/mothering, btw, and my extension of the discussion was exactly going to follow chris' slant. perhaps now we are beginning to understand the need for gender-inclusive god-language, eh? eh?
(but the fact that you're thinking about it, and opting to make a positive and conscious change to be different from the norm, is pretty awesome. you'll turn out some good kids.
