Last week we issued a Call to Men to send posts to HeartLife! While our ministry is not gender specific, many of our main writers have been women. Due to the response we have had – we hope that will change – and we will have both the male and female persepctive in the future on a regular basis. One person who heard the “Call” was my nephew Avery Kyle – following is his respose to that call.

Calling All Men!

My daughters have always said that I am partial to men; that I have a compassion and understanding of them that I don’t have for females.
