Drama and the Pack...

Sure, ...boys in the world that we see in our faces every day are able to move and groove on like dogs in a pack. It is my faith filled belief that God did this on purpose. One gets out of line...another bites the neck of the one who is misbehaving. OH...there might be a scuffle, some growls, a short split. But soon enough, they all get to barking and loving life, running along and grudges are not really held.

But, they are still human.

Teen age boys have drama.

They aren't dogs with instincts.

My teenager bit one who was misbehaving. His MORAL compass was DEAD ON right. However, ...my teen has yet to realize he isn't the leader of the pack yet. He is having to take a little chastising from the rest of the pack for doing so...he is being taught that he may have stepped a few rungs higher on the ladder than he should have at this time...

.

Ahh....drama and the pack life. Girls don't have this "pack life". Another God given thing...and it is good.

Wow...this one is hard for me to watch. But I know that I have to let it happen. I have to watch him fall to the wayside, lick his wounds...and figure it out how to pull himself back into the pack.

God made them this way, but it doesn't stop the tears. He looks for help, but just like any good "momma dog", ...I am out. I let him know I love him, but I have to turn away...I can't step in on this one. I can't save him from anything...the best I can do is behind the scene...nudge him back and walk away.

Proverbs 22:6

Train a child in the way he should go,and when he is old he will not turn from it.
