What did you learn?
That is what King Leonadis teaches his son in the dusty square of the courtyard.
He was preparing his son by talking and wrestling. He was preparing him for battle, for life.
The young boys mother looks on approvingly. She will teach him also, but she can not teach him these things.
The boy is attentive. He respects and honours his father, his authority, his scars and his deep rough voice.
What did you learn as a boy?
What do you hope to pass to your son?
How will you prepare him?
Respect and honour is good.
Faith, Love and Hope may well be better.

By the way, I'm not advocating an emotionally lopsided 400BC style Spartan education for boys! But there is something there which awakens something within . . . .

I'm teaching my son two things:
Love Jesus, and take care of your sister.
I wonder sometimes if there is something I'm missing...
No, I reckon your a great dad J Man!
I want to offer Ben my strength and wisdom so that he might find refuge in the strength and wisdom of his heavenly Father.
