Comments on: Glenn: I’m trying to be a better husband. I’m trying to be a better father. I don’t want to joke about it.

We were told the day we married to “build each other up, never tear each other down”. We sometimes failed to do that and we paid a heavy price of pain and sorrow for forgetting that amazingly simple rule of love. What many here forget is that someone was hired to find the ring-both Tania and Glenn knowing what it was- a symbol of love and commitment. I am glad that he is growing in knowledge of why some things are truely off limits and sacred. When my husband was dying of cancer I asked him if there was anything left unsaid that needed to be. His reply was pointing to himself, then to me, and then up. You, me, eternity. My prayer is we all get that precious understanding while we have the chance.

Way to go Glenn! When I heard radio show that day, I thought that would sure hurt my feelings if I was the butt of jokes for something I accidentally did. I’m sure Tania was devastated about losing the ring, not just the value of it, but the memory of how she first acquired it (all the SENTIMENTAL value is so much more) and it takes a strong woman to NOT be bothered by the joking. That being said, I think all three of you recovered very nicely on the radio and taught us all an important lesson about SPEAKING things into existence. The things you said convicted me, more than it did Pat and Stu. OUCH!!

I’m perplexed that some people felt the NEED to cancel their subscription over it (based on comments here). Lighten up people. There’s a difference between the radio program and TV and if we’re not allowed to laugh a little after the election, then God help us all. If the radio program gets too silly for a few minutes, take a breather, and come back in a few. It doesn’t last that long. I find all SERIOUSNESS about economy and politics would make me lose my mind. As would ALL silly comedy. But a blend, is just right.

I wonder sometimes how much negativity I speak into existence by constantly putting myself down. My parents always expected perfection and it is so hard to live up to. I have a nice farm, happy kids, a 30 year marriage, but I always feel like a failure somehow. I beat myself up for everything. Maybe I’ll try to speak positive things into existence for awhile.

This picture of you and yours is outstanding. My parents always came out like that in pictures too. Didn’t matter where they were as long as they were together. They were married for 59 very happy years.

Attention glennbeck.com staff people who still have a soul… take note that the people that now listen to Glenn get all hot and bothered about him using the phrase “blood shooting out my eyes”. Congrats on the new audience. No, really, why on earth would you want people who are funny and not preachy and serious?

“speak words into existence” – I like that. It explains a lot to me. It has happened to me, and the words hurt. even when apparently said in jest. It diminishes who you are, makes you feel unworthy.

Glenn, I’m scared for you and pray things will be better in whatever way that “better” needs to be. Just don’t let her turn you into a throwrug. Please oh pleeease?

If all men and women would think this deeply about their sacred relationships, and DO WHAT IS RIGHT, rather than what is “funny”, nitpicking, or downright destructive, we would have a GREAT preservative IMPACT in the world around us. Only FOOLS tear down their own homes with their own hands. The Good Book says so. Let’s ALL practice speaking well of our spouses to others, even if they ARE complete jerks at times. The whole world doesn’t need to know their faults and failings. How helpful is that? Let us rather encourage the growth of one another’s good points by “talking them up”, and most importantly, IN THEIR OWN HEARING.

Please take your language to a Liberal website where it would be accepted. Not so welcome here. Strength of our Country will only come from those who start as a loving father, loving husband, and those loving God above all else.

Please Pray for the writer of Liberty or Death.
