This initially looks like a very noble occupation, and it was." Noble occupation?! Pillaging non-combatants and propagating a thriving slave trade is a "noble occupation?" The very name "viking" is drawn from the Anglo-Frankish, from "víkingr": one who set about to raid and pillage. The vikings may have been brave explorers, but much of their conflict was far from "noble." There are better examples of "hard things" in history...

There are better examples of “hard things” in history…

This was an excellent article, well thought out and well written. However, I have a question about something in the intro paragraph. It says that "It's the exact opposite of what our media-saturated culture - from public schools to church youthgroups - ..." I've noticed it in other places on the blog too. You all seem to have some sort of bone to pick with youth groups. I'm wondering why. My church has a youth group, and it's not especially "media-saturated." It is lead by college students from Baptist Bible College, and they do a good job teaching us. It's not perfect, I'll admit, but I don't see why you people are so against youth groups. If you happen to see this comment, could you explain why you dislike them so much?

The post you have written goes along with what I have been thinking about lately and will challenge me to think even more. The main responsibility I have for my family is I do all the shopping and run errands for my Dad’s business. When I was younger I thought running a household consisted of cooking, cleaning, and teaching. What I failed to realize is a lot of time is used going to appointments, shopping, working for pay, research, counseling, repairing (fixing things) helping others and… Plus the other random things that come up that would keep one from being able to accomplish all that needs to be done such as weddings, building projects, or traveling. It is no wonder one would go crazy. So reading your post helped me to understand to be like the Vikings of old. Do those millions of little strokes to reach a goal. So if I do a little each day disciplining myself not to do to much or to little of one thing and to be discerning as to what truly is most important I will get everything done. Thanks again for your exhortation and encouragement :) Grace Thank you Alex King!
