The Imaginative Conservative recently published my essay with this title. This is an address I gave to a group of Union students at a guys morning Bible study a couple of years ago. Too many voices encourage men to laziness or a complaining, whining spirit. We must cast this off and embrace the call to work hard and endure. As I told these young men, “Whining whittles away the will to work.” I hope this essay can stir up some young men to this path which is a necessary part of any meaningful life.
