Brothers

Children in a family are, more often than not, different from each other. They may share physical attributes and many common qualities but still differ in looks, habits, style and personality.

My two sons for example: Jason, the older, has dark hair and eyes, is an analyzer and is always asking why. He enjoys sports and talking on the phone. He was a demanding, strong-willed child.
Steve, the younger, has blond hair and blue eyes. He loves animals, is artistic, is a cowboy and has always been quieter and more compliant.

They both have always had lots of friends and enjoyed the social aspect of school and work. Neither wants church to be just a social club, but a place to worship, learn and serve.

Jason married right out of high school. Steve waited 10 years to marry. Both take family responsibilities seriously and strive to be the leader in their relationships.

I love them both. Each is very much like their dad, very much like his brother and yet each one is entirely himself; a man of his own.
