Buck Up Boy
No CommentsI was recently talking on the phone to one of my good friends John Stamper and he reminded me of a story I told him one time about a personal experience I had growing up. It’s funny how you will forget and someone else will remind you about yourself. I told him a story one time about when I was working on a farm in High School. I worked for an old school farmer who pretty much rigged everything he did. We were walking a fence line one day repairing the barbed wire. The old farmer would get me to place my shoulder behind the fence post and he would swing a SLEDGE hammer nailing the wire back to the fence post. You can imagine that every time he swung I was praying that it would be the last because it would rock my world every time. He was hitting me so hard that I kept falling down and all I heard him saying was “Buck Up Boy!” Swing after swing, “Buck Up Boy!” Its a funny story to laugh at now but the reality is the majority of people who call themselves Christians, need to “Buck Up Boy!”
Done are the days up pathetic Christianity. I envision a group of believers not of afraid to speak the name of Jesus. People who not afraid to stand up for what we believe in. Dads, man enough to lead their families and do what is right no MATTER the cost. DONE are the days but the reality is that we all need to buck up and take the bull by the horns. Who will come with me? Who will stand up and say enough is enough? Now is the time, today is the day.
