The Bible lets us know that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11: 1, KJV) and that without works, without action, faith is dead. (James 2:20.

The whole experience underscored to me that no matter how much I think I understand men, I'll never be able to truly get inside their head. That worries me some as a wife, and it worries me even more as the mother of sons.
