George Colfax was in an outraged frame of mind, and properly so. Politically speaking, George was what might be called, for lack of a better term, a passive reformer. That is, he read religiously the New York Nation, was totally opposed to the spoils system of party rewards, and was ostensibly as right-minded a citizen as one would expect to find in a Sabbath day's journey. He subscribed one dollar a year to the civil-service reform journal, and invariably voted on Election Day for the best men, cutting out in advance the names of the candidates favored by the Law and Order League of his native city, and carrying them to the polls in order to jog his memory. He could talk knowingly, too, by the card, of the degeneracy of the public men of the nation, and had at his finger-ends inside information as to the manner in which President This or Congressman That had sacrificed the ideals of a vigorous manhood to the brass idol known as a second term. In fact, there was scarcely a prominent political personage in the country for whom George had a good word in every-day conversation. And when the talk was of municipal politics he shook his head with a profundity of gloom which argued an utterly hopeless condition of affairs-a sort of social bottomless pit.

A man's journey is complicated in the best of times. In the modern day United States it is a nightmare. Being a man is almost a liability. If you think a woman looks nice and tell her, you are harassing her, if you don't tell her, you are ignoring her femininity and shutting her out. Be the father, but don't discipline your kids. Typical TV dads paint men as buffoons, or bigots with little or no middle ground. Many children grow up with an absentee father and our society shows the strain of fatherlessness. Men in general don't know who they are or what they are supposed to be or do. But there is Good News!God, the perfect Father, foresaw these days and laid out in Scripture His plan for the masculine identity. Join with us and discover His love for us as Beloved Sons. His plan for companionship with Bonded Brothers. His desire for our legacy as Benevolent Fathers. His hope for the world placed in the hearts of men. I hope you will join with us on this journey of discovery and release into the freedom of being God's man to your generation. Saddle up! We're burning daylight!
