Imagine if divorce became more of a rarity and healthy relationships became more of the norm how much of a legacy we could leave for our children and grandchildren!

Unwavering Faith

Genesis 6:3-8

3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

5 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

We all know the story and account of Noah and the boat and his family, but let me highlight something we tend to forget.

I was listening to a podcast from this morning regarding Noah and some of the points he brought up were both interesting and gave me pause.

Imagine if you had a relationship with God and for half of your life or more God asked you to do 2 things; tell others about Him and build a boat in the middle of the land nowhere near water and impossible to bring to the water. Years go by and nobody gets saved or repents from their ways and in fact they become even more evil and creating ways of wickedness. If that wasn’t bad enough you are making slow progress on this stupid boat in the middle of the land. Decades pass and the same thing; sharing your faith and evil abounds with no salvation and progress on the boat is coming along but not done yet. A century later and evil still abounds, people ignore what you have said about salvation but look at you as the entertainment and anomaly they think you are. Then all the sudden all kinds of animals migrate to this boat as a parade. Sure it is unusual but even the unusual doesn’t change the heart of the people in your community. You and your family get on the boat and water comes from the sky. Something else no one has ever seen before but it still doesn’t change the hearts of men until it is too late.

Thinking about Noah’s resolve is impressive. It begs the question it I would first be resilient enough to pray for the lost in my family and community relentlessly regardless if I see movement in their lives or not? The second question is, “would I be faithful to do a project God called me to that would require my consistency for years and decades even if I don’t have a guarantee to live long enough to see it through?”

When I reflect on this I have to come back to the book of Hebrews chapter 12. Paul talks about running the race with commitment and endurance.

Hebrews 12:1-3

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Paul talks about fixing our eyes on Christ and running as one who is to win the prize. Sometimes a lack of endurance sidetrack ls us from focusing on the prize. But 120 years of watching the world go to hell with no interest in Godly things and you are the only one following God? I have to say that is tenacious at the least. Remember Noah and his family didn’t have the Bible, the Ten Commandments or any of the scrolls of Moses yet was accounted to have found favor in God’s eyes. He had no directions outside of instructions to build a boat that took over a century to build. He knew nothing about rain and I am sure he wasn’t a zoo keeper by trade. What Noah had was a blind faith and a wife and family who supported him and were of like mind.

As I thought further about this, I needed to ask how I can apply this unresolved faith and pushing through the things God has called me to? Here are some examples for my life.

When I look at the brokenness of my family it is easy to want to move on. In fact I have had many tell me to forget about my kids and my ex and move on. There are things I cannot control yet there are things God calls us to as well. As I look through scripture, there are three things that stand out regarding my kids.

1) “children are a gift from God and arrows in a man’s quiver.” A gift is not always something you desire but always something you need. And an arrow may help to defend you, but it is also sharp and piercing and can cause you great pain if not held right.
2) “train up a child in the way they should grow and when they get older they won’t depart from it.” The training has less to do with the initial growth. It is more about it growing upwards. Trees are not always straight. There may be another tree that falls on one and it grows with a bend or a crotch. Even with the deformity or obstructions it still strives to grow towards the sun.
3) “pray without ceasing.” This is an incredibly hard concept because just like Noah he saw no movement in 120 years. Just like Daniel it took almost half a century and a bunch of miracles for Nebuchadnezzar to come to repentance and understand who God was.

Consistency and obedience are so important when it comes to our faith, legacy and our relationship with Christ. The most defeating thing though is watching the months and years pass by with no change and feeling like hope is fleeting.

So I want to encourage you today. If you have a marriage that is struggling and it seems like all hope is lost and God isn’t moving, look at Noah and take a page from the guy who was called out in the middle of evil without even the word of God and imagine for a minute how much faith he needed in his time of uncertainty. If you are struggling with a wayward child, remember the rejection Noah experienced, but he made a place of refuge to protect his family. I may have taken a century to protect those he loved but it was that love that never gave up.

Run that race like being in first place for the prize. Train up your child so they grow to the Son and not just straight. And continue to pray in such a way that you don’t give up because you never know what God can birth in the middle of what looks like destruction!

The Smallest Interuption Can Be The Greatest Ministry Moment:

Proverbs 3:1-7

My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;
2 For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
4 And so find favor and [a]high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall [b]direct your paths.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

I had a conversation with one of my brothers lately as he was about to take his second cruise in the past 3 months. He told me that I wanted an ice breaker for conversation with others. We talked a bit and came up with the idea of bringing on the little Jesus’s as an icebreaker. While on the boat he was giving them out one by one or leaving them in different spots. On got picked up by a little boy who was excited to find Jesus. One was given away during a 40 minute conversation about Heaven. Throughout his trip he would discuss with me the opportunities that he had by giving just a little Jesus to strangers.

As I was waking up today l, my prayer was “God don’t let me miss the moment of sharing You and seeing your presence.” Too often we think the task at hand is the job, destination, kids, entertainment or anything other thing. Don’t get me wrong, those things are important but what if those things are unfulfilling without a Godly mindset? What if the most important moment was not finishing the task or surviving the moment rather making the relationship with a person that is life changing or going to a destination with your kids and showing them something God has done in your life or the world around them? What if it was less about the task and not about the conversation during the task?

One thing that I am a stickler about in business is communication. Preferably straight up conversation. When people believe you care and you show that they are important they are more trusting and willing to give you their business. When you treat them like they are transactional or you know more than them, it causes problems in what you do.

Proverbs 3:5 touches on this very factor, but with a caveat. It says to “trust and don’t rely on your own understanding or answers.” In doing so “He will lead your path.” The reality is when we rely on our own answers to life, it tends to bring forth stress with the line “I gotta do…..” the writer of Proverbs states basically, I understand that you have things to do in life that you want to accomplish, but what if you invite God into every step of your day? Imagine if that cashier at the grocery store was actually entrusted to you today for conversation about a little Jesus in their lives only to find out they were struggling with suicidal thoughts and your conversation pulled them off the ledge? Or like my brother with the little kid who found the little Jesus. You don’t know if that one thing could bring salvation to that one child and move to the entire family. It is those little moments intertw**ed into our day that reflects the path God has been leading us on. Maybe looking at it as a single incident alone it doesn’t look very big on the surface, but remember neither does a harvest when you look at one little seed.

God today I acknowledge my ways and submit all I do to You. Wherever I go, whoever I meet, whatever I do, may it bring glory to your name and at the end of the day may I reflect on the path You are leading. May I give you thanks in all that I do as I trust Your ways.

In Jesus Name!

Mind Your Feet

Isaiah 6:1-5

6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

For the past couple weeks we have been breaking down Colossians 1 and this weekend my pastor referenced Isaiah 6 and something jumped out and took me on a deep dive. It is not that I had never heard it before rather it bugged me because it is something important that I think we tend to overlook. In verse 2 Isaiah mentions the seraphim having three sets of wings and one set covers their feet, another set covers their face and the third makes them fly. What got my attention was “Why the feet?”

The feet are one of the body parts most mentioned after the heart (1,000 times) and mouth (400 times) at 315 times. Why are the feet mentioned almost as much as the mouth?

To understand this I need to give you an illustration. Yesterday I went to Jellystone National Park in the mountains of North Carolina with a few foster kids. The kids were so excited because they wanted to swim in the lake where they had a huge water obstacle course in the middle of the lake. Just one problem that one of the kids pointed out to me. She told me what she saw on a sign which read “Be careful of the goose p**p and don’t feed the geese.” She chuckled and she hopscotched around the bird p**p on the grass.

As I listened to Pastor Mark mention this verse from Isaiah, I couldn’t help but hear the voice of this foster child as she hopped around the droppings of these birds to get to her destination with the lake. The first reason for the protection of our feet is they guide us to our destination. Unless we heed the warnings and watch where we step, we will not get to our destination without stepping into crap that was not intended to be upon us.

This leads to the second reason why feet are mentioned so often in scripture. In Exodus 3:5, God tells Moses to remove his sandals for he is “Standing on Holy Ground.” When we come into the presence of a Holy God we cannot have the bad things in life take the same space as a God who is Holy. His holiness is so sacred that we must be careful not to contaminate His space. It would be like walking on the goose p**p on the floor your mother has just mopped. It would make a mess of the floor, but this is even worse with God. His holiness is so great that even our good deeds are looked at as dirty rags. In fact when Elijah saw the back of God he thought he would die. This was the same with James and John on the mountain of transconfiguation. The holiness of God covers our eyes from sudden death but protects our feet to go the directions which God calls us and away from stepping into things that can contaminate us and the destination we are called.

The third reason the feet are important is it holds the body and brings a place of peace. A lot of people who study nature and electrical current talk about how the earth’s magnetic fields give health through the body. Where it does or not can be debated but one thing cannot. Ephesians 6 talks about the significance of the armor of God. In verse 15 it mentions that we are to put on the shoes of peace. If peace starts from the feet, imagine what it does going up the body and coming through the places you stand.

Peace means “the restorative health in one’s body and with their Creator.” The best example of this is with Ruth and Boaz. In Ruth 3, Ruth uncovers Boaz feet and lays at his feet. Many pastors and scholars claim that this is an example of a redeemer and a reflection of Christ, but I am going to take it one step further and tie in Ephesians 6:15. Prior to Boaz, Ruth’s life was on a downward spiral of chaos. She then meets Boaz who blesses her and watches out for her. When she uncovered his feet and rested there, she was saying “I find peace in the feet and direction you walk. I feel safe with you.”

To back this up further and solidify an example of this being a reflection of Christ, you don’t need to go any further than Isaiah 9:6 where the prophet describes the coming Savior. He says “Wonderful counselor and Prince of Peace.” It is at His feet and direction that we find peace. It is through that relationship with Christ we can walk around the droppings that can make us dirty. It is at His feet we find a holy God who directs us in relationship of His goodness.

It’s very easy to focus on the storms that roll in and forget about the background.

As I was driving back from Banner Elk, NC I couldn’t help but admire this scene as a storm was rolling in over Brown Mountain. As I watched the clouds dance in the sky covering the background, I could not help but admire the scene as the light and shadows intermixed and how the background of the landscape disappeared for moments behind the foreground of the storm.

It really got me to thinking about the storms in our lives. How often do we forget about the background as our focus is directed to the storms. We even miss the light that is reflecting off the sky. When the storms come we think the background has changed or disappeared. The reality is that background stays constant while everything in the foreground shifts and moves and catches our attention distracting us fro the original image God gave us sitting in the background.

God doesn’t change the background. He changes foreground sending light through it. You may be asking “what is the purpose of the storm? The storm is to remind us what is behind everything so we don’t the beauty of the background for granted. Without the storm we don’t see the movement. We don’t see the contrast of the light. We don’t see God moving. Just like the road cutting through the mountain range we see it just like another mountain with vegetation. God sees it differently. He gave it a name. He put the storm on full display so you can be seen and appreciated.

So whatever storm you may be going through, understand that God is putting you on display not to be driven past rather to be admired by what He is doing on your behalf!

I heard this message from the late Billy Graham this morning and it hit hard.

Tomorrow is the 28th birthday of my oldest child and firstborn Courtney Ann. It has been decades since I have talked to my kids or even spent time with them. Many days I struggle as a result of the rejection from them, the damage from the legal system and my ex and the pain and daily fears struggle with as a result of missing out on those cherished memories and times of their lives and the life of my grandchildren who don’t even know I exist.

I go on with life trying to keep my head above the fray and trusting God. I take one step at a time as God is retooling things to bless me with being the key to the lives of other kids who have been rejected and Him restoring that which the devourer has stolen.

It is an everyday struggle. It is a choice to hold on with hope that God has given me my four children as a blessing and not a curse. At the same time trusting His promises even when you are blind on the journey.

Thank you God for having me stumble upon this message from Billy Graham today as I needed to be encouraged with each step of the journey You have before me. This has not been easy, but You have been good through it all and I trust that my daughter and sons will return soon as they are a blessing from your hands. I give them to you this morning that you may tailor their hearts and bless them as you lead our steps to reunite one day!

Train up a Child…..

Proverbs 22:6
King James Version
6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Music has a way with kids and as the saying goes “music soothes the wild beast.”

When my kids were little I would sing to them and show them all kids of music. As they got older they learned how to play piano and honestly my daughter was exceptional until our divorce. She was unique right out of the gate and I don’t know if it was singing her to sleep as a baby or just finding things to talk to her about over the years as music was a easy topic for us to engage in.

When the kids were little, I was on the worship team at church for many years until I had some respiratory issues causing me to stop singing about 8 or 9 years ago. In addition to being on the worship team, along with my ex wife, we led kids worship. While practicing for church our kids would be highly engaged and there were several times I would witness the Holy Spirit fall on my kids in our living room as my daughter would be passionate with songs like “We Fall Down.” With tears falling down her face and the faces of my boys I would step back and marvel at what God was doing in their lives.

When the divorce happened it seemed the music stopped. It stopped for them as my ex got rid of their keyboard and my kids struggled emotionally through things. It stopped for me not just because of health issues but because it felt heavy to praise God in the storms and trauma. Then it felt like darkness for a moment. No matter how much I would worship I felt dry and almost disconnected.

It wasn’t until I was invited to be a part of the mentoring and development with other kids that I started to feel a spark and moved by the very worship I needed to refresh my soul. It was things like watching the youth I was entrusted worshiping or pouring out their praise at youth camp. Or standing in church and hearing “We Fall Down” or other songs my kids would sing that God would remind me of those sparks from over two decades ago. I still don’t experience as much as I used to and it requires far more of me to enter into that level of presence again to be truthfully honest.

Just recently Phil Wickham released a new song called “Everyday Hallelujah.” Upon listening to this song it resided the past 25 years or so reminding me of the good times and difficult times. Seeing God move and sitting in silence wondering what God was even doing.

Yesterday I went out with a friend and a foster girl named “B” that I have really gotten to be a part of her life over the past few years. “B” is such an incredible kid and I adore this child as if she were like one of my own (put a pin in that for a conversation for another time).

As we were driving to go to dinner I had this song playing quietly on repeat as I was talking to my friend. As we were talking I heard the 11 year old behind me softly singing this song after 5 minutes. It put a smile on my face for so many reasons. First it brought me back to those days of the innocence of my kids sing along in the back seat quietly singing and praising God. Secondly it reminded me of all God has done in blessing me throughout the years. And thirdly and most importantly knowing “B’s” story and knowing the difficult things she has gone through would make you cry from being rejected to neglected and everything in between only to softly sing the words:

“In the joy and in the pain
In the sun and in the rain
Every breath gonna bless Your name
Here's my everyday hallelujah
For the love and for the grace
For the hope that's never gonna fade away
Let my life be a life of praise
Here's my everyday hallelujah”

As I think about this 11 year old and the things she has gone through sitting in my car and singing these words, it made me melt. It made me evaluate those words in my life. It makes me encourage my soul to say “here’s my everyday hallelujah.”

“B” I love you very much!

A Taste of Heaven

Deuteronomy 11:20-21
20 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, 21 so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.

Do you have a longing for heaven and wonder what it is like? Have you ever thought what it is like to be in the presence of the Honored one, Jesus Christ?

I have pondered what that may be like and feel I had a taste of heaven and in the presence of Christ. Paul talks about the struggle of living we versus dying as there are pros and cons, but it is far better to be in the place where the guest of honor, Christ is.

About six weeks again I have received an invitation to celebrate on of my friend’s 70th birthday. I was so excited that I went a month in advance of his birthday not paying close attention to the invitation but used it as an opportunity to get the feeling for the area and where I was going. Yesterday though was this celebration that reminded me of the experience of going to heaven.

Let me explain. There are many days we desire heaven that we don’t know the invitation so we try to visit through our hopes and dreams and want to taste the presence thereof. When we actually get to that day, it exceeds our expectations and assumptions.

The party I expected certain other people to be there only to find out that those I expected were not invited and those who came were those from all over the country, different connections and walks of life and some who knew the guest of honor since they were children. As I sat at a table with two other people I met a lady who knew the guest of honor for 60 years and another man from Chicago who met him years ago because of the impact of his faith and another who was witnessed to at the gym. As I looked around I realized the guest of honor had a personal impact on each person there last night.

I met this man from a men’s bible study where the two men of us struck it off. As I was talking to him he specifically said to me that I was the only one who was invited from the Bible study because I was the only one to have and desire a relationship with him as the others didn’t make the effort over time. It made me feel blessed and seen.

God calls us into relationship with Him. He wants to invite us to enjoy His presence and share in the goodness to celebrate Him as we dine with Him and share in the presence of others of like mind. He wants to invite us into a party not about one but to share in one. He doesn’t want us to come too early but wants us to be ready and long for that day to dine with Him and celebrate together in the presence of the honored.

The party in the presence of Heaven is not about a destination rather an eternal event. He wants us to savor every minute and every flavor of what is in front of us. He sits us at tables of others we may not know to share different perspectives to reflect His character. This doesn’t come as a future date rather it is a date that starts with today.

Isaiah 43:18-19 says it well.

18
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
19
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.

God doesn’t desire us to just be present. He desires for us to leave behind those things that hinder us so we can taste the goodness of His presence.

I honestly have only experienced a parallel of the presence of heaven to see the goodness of God in my life a couple times through someone I know. When you see it and understand that you have been chosen and seen to partake in the presence of the guest of honor, you get to taste a glimpse of heaven. It is a humbling experience.

It reminds me very much of Christ’s invitation. You chose me? You saw every broken piece in my life and failures yet you could have chose others, but instead you chose me knowing those things about me. You seated me at a table full of Your goodness to partake in your presence! It makes you feel small, valued, seen and humbled especially when it is Him who we celebrate only for us to share in the celebration as He reflects it back on to us and says “welcome home my good and faithful servant!”

Who are the Three in Your Circle

Daniel 1:6-10

6 Among those who were chosen were some from Judah: Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. 7 The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel, the name Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abednego.

8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and w**e, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your[c] food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”

I was listening to the song “Another One” from this afternoon and started thinking about the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and their most famous story about the fiery furnace, but something was hitting me wrong about the story because it felt like we lost the meaning of the story. Here is what I mean. God is NOT going to put you in a furnace fire first without learning about Him controlling the flames. Faith is not just inherent, automatic or pure luck. We celebrate the magnificent miracles of God but miss the smaller ones that led up to the biggest ones even being possible and lack an understanding and value in relationships and prayer.

Here is something I didn’t even learn in church in my 54 years on this earth as the focus has always been on the biggest miracles and not the background behind it all. Most people don’t even know that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were not their birth names rather the names given to them as prisoners. These three young men had a fourth in the group who we call by his birth name as Daniel and not Belshazzar. First I find it odd that only one of the four we refer to in the church by their God given name and the other three we refer to by their pagan names.

Our very first introduction to these four young men probably between 12-18 years old is found in Daniel 1. The very first introduction is when these four bucked the system asking to only eat vegetables rather than the rich foods from the king’s table. This is where the book of Daniel is simplified and very important elements are ignored. The guard over these four says to Daniel “you are going to get me killed by your request as you will look weak and unhealthy.” In the end they were healthier than the others.

This interaction is super important for two reasons. The first thing is these four young men made a stand to not allow anything on their lips defile their bodies and in turn God gave them health. The response by the guard was equally important when you look at all the other stories leading to the firey furnace or the lions den. Due to the actions of these four men taking a stand what could have been death to one now became life to that one (don’t forget this as it builds).

One day King Nebuchadnezzar has a terrifying dream. He makes an insane ask of all of the wisest people in the land including fortune tellers and magicians. He asks them to tell him what he dreamed and what the meaning was. Because they couldn’t tell him his dream he put out a decree to have every advisor killed, which included the four. Daniel heard about this and came back to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the four of them prayed God would reveal this to them. Daniel has a vision about the dream and he tells Nebuchadnezzar what the dream was and the meaning. Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego save a group of people and are all four promoted. What is never talked about is Daniel had prayer partners that petitioned God for answers in live and death circumstances before the furnace and the lions. It was the first time they were personally threatened with death and God showed up. As a result of four young God fearing men praying for God’s protection, hundreds if not thousands were saved by the actions of a few. This is the concept of the harvest and blessings found in the gospels where it talks about being blessed a hundred fold (Mark 10:29-31). This is where we see that concept in practice.

Here is where things get crazy. When the Furnace and the Lion’s Den come into play, these four have been not only spared but put in management and oversight of masses of people throughout the land. Where their testimony started with the salvation of one guard, it led to the salvation of a group of people, but it didn’t stop there as they had a round three for their testimony and legacy. These four had already experienced God’s protection and blessing once before, NOW they have the ability to reach the masses. When they should have died due to fire or lions, God preserved them and because the miracle was on full display and their faith is now unwavering even more, the harvest reaches out to the community due to what God has done in their preservation.

So I bring all of this up for one question; who is in your circle to see God move? When I went to counseling after my divorce, I was ask who the three closest people were to me to keep my sight on Christ so I may not faultier. When we establish these four people, they can help us see a victory in the hardest times. More importantly our testimony becomes our legacy which changes the dynamics of the lives of others. (Ecclesiastes 4:10)

If we are expecting God to do massive miracles in our lives it requires us to find the prayer partners that will help us grow our faith. In doing so we see God build momentum in our testimony and the residual is for others to be impacted and saved by our story. When that starts to happen God elevates us but the next test may seem as it may take our lives, but it requires to go back to that support group and petition God only to see that God not only answers your prayers but blesses more in multiplication and the cycle keeps growing between test, deliverance and salvation. Imagine if those four didn’t take a stand against what entered their mouth and affected their bodies. Would we have the stories of Daniel and the Lion’s Den or Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the fiery furnace?

More importantly is your testimony making an impact by taking a stand against those things you let in your life and watching God move or are you compromising what God can do? If God is not moving, it is not too late to start. Take a stand against those things that are defiling your mouth, body and heart and find 3 other people to keep you accountable and watch what God does. You may have a testimony and live a life like these four boys who refused compromise.
