Another Line

This past weekend I started wondering about the lines we walk. We were spending a quiet weekend at home, enjoying each others company, watching movies, eating chips, and licorice. It all seemed innocent.

However, one of the movies we were watching did not feel right. The more I thought about the more uncomfortable I felt. I finally took Horn Man and left the room. The movie was not rated R, but the images and suggestions it was making were not appropriate. I stewed about it all night long.

I started wondering. The Queen and Princess were not as bothered with the movie as I was. The more I thought it about it, the more I wondered why. The things that bothered me were the scanty clad females running round the screen and the treatment or attitude of the men towards them.

Then it hit me, the scanty clothing may not bother a female. Unfortunately, we men folk battle the natural man in this area. I realized that I did not want my boys exposed to something that could lead to bad habits in the future. I realized that it is these types of images that lead some to pornography.

I have shared my concerns with the ladies in my life. I hope they understand. My concern goes out to my boys. Recently, you have been spending several weekend nights with friends watching movies. I hope that you are in tune enough to recognize similar events that I have just explained. I pray that you have the courage to stand up and walk away or ask that your friends stop with you.

I was home. I was with my family. The movie was not rated with that evil R label, but it was still inappropriate. I still had a hard time moving away. I am sure it would be harder among peers. Please be strong. Please take courage.

Young ladies, respect the young men in your lives. Mothers, think about your sons. Wives, don't put your husbands on this path.
