THE WORDS OF HOUSE FLANERY

follow me on

FLANERYFORGE.COM

This took time.

Quiet work. Careful choices.

I didn’t want these stories living in drafts or feeds.

They needed a home.

That home is now live.

FLANERYFORGE.COM If you are a man, you are a leader.

Speak truth. Lead by example.

Never let them see you tired.

You are the one they look to when they are tired. 

You are the one they lean on when they have nothing left. 

Head up. Chest out. Your life as a man should always feel like preparing for war.

You’re either in the heat of battle or training for victory on the other side of it.

If you’re not fighting, you’re not living.

Life as a man is war. Conquest.

Find y Hard work. Dedication. Every man is born with a fire in his heart.

Be afraid the day you don’t wake up with it. A craven companion flees at the first sign of trouble, but a faithful friend is never lost. You can complain and quit, or you can rock up and play ball.

Last shot in Game 7 of your life: Who do you want taking it?

Don’t worry about me: Ball’s in my hands.

I’ll take the shot. No doubt.

Stone. Cold. Killer. All your life you've been in a cage. When you're ready, break free. Time is coming for all of us. What are you going to do with yours?
Tick tock. .
It’s a familiar path which down now I trod.
Never claimed to be perfect, for all my strengths I was flawed.
A sinner I am so Life never spared me the rod.
To be tested for my love is my penance to God.

I came to your rescue and loved you wit
