2:58am. In my overly-simplified and romanticized youthful state-of-mind, i first heard Edwin McCain sympathetically sing his now popularized line, "I'll be your crying shoulder...the greatest fan of your life."
after a few t-shirts where the would-be "shoulders" are dampened with tears and stained by mascara, i wish to have a talk with Edwin, so that he might give the whole story in his song:
"i AM the problem and the reason you cry, so I'LL be your crying shoulder... the greatest fan of your life."
apparently, there's no room in a godly relationship for boys w/o big shoulders to cry on, or more importantly, to bear responsibility...because that is a man's calling and joy.
the reward is a renewed trust and a labor-worthy smile,
and the prayer is truly, "let me be better when i'm older!"
"Your husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with a weaker vessel, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered. To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit."
-1 Peter 3:7-8
