I do not want to raise tamed boys. I want to raise moral boys. There is a difference. To mother boys is to be one of the first voices that tells them what their strength is for, and so I must learn.
Every mother of sons faces a difficult decision:
Do I shape them to fit the world as it is, or do I raise them to reshape the world as it ought to be?
There is a wildness in boys that is not a flaw of creation but a part of it. A gift given by God Himself. A desire to run, to chase, to build, to break, to defend, to explore the unknown and come home covered in dust as if they had conquered the world.
If we kill their spirits for the sake of convenience, for quiet classrooms and tidy living rooms, we may win temporary peace, but the cost is at the expense of a future man. And this truth is prevalent all around us.

1 Peter 2:24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

I often think about the fact that Oxford University planted oak trees on sight that would be mature and ready when the beams in the building needed to be replaced (about 500 years).
We no longer think like this and it shows.
One of my greatest pleasures right now is listening to my 2 year old belt out the theme to Zorro in broken English
