Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Towards Christ June 25, 2015
gary@outdoortruths.org ~ www.outdoortruths.org
Men have this uncanny ability to compartmentalize most of what we do. We can simply, mentally, separate one thing from another. We can neatly detach our fatherhood from our hunting and fishing, and each of these from us being a husband. Some say we are organized; my wife would beg to differ or even laugh at the man who came up with that idea. Women do however; have more of a tendency to intertwine the roles in their lives. For instance, a man can go fishing and immediately forget about any problems that may be at home. When a woman goes fishing she has a harder time leaving the role of being a coworker, mother, and wife. It's just how each of the sexes is built. And while we might argue which is better, the truth is we need one another and must learn how to bring these differences into our own lives. Again, for instance, a man must learn that he can never fully remove himself from his other roles and their responsibilities. And a woman must learn that sometimes she must give her full attention to only one role; like being a wife.
