Women Playing Men's Sports

Overheard @ my house during the hockey game last night.

My Darling Wife: Womens' Hockey?
VFD: (also confused) No. (sees too many ponytails & begins to doubt)
DW: Yes.
. . .
DW: Do they have to play every mens sport?
VFD: Yes.
DW: Why?
VFD: Because, two generations ago, they all lost their daddies. Also three generations ago.

We are suffering the aftershocks in our culture, of the 8.2 earthquake in our population caused by World Wars one and two. Whole generations of women reared without the best and bravest men our country had to offer, with pictures instead of fathers. I am not sure we can recover from this. With God's help we could, but call me a pessimist at the prospects of a revival in America. But keep praying . . . Nineveh staved off destruction for a full century by turning to God from their wickedness.
