HEYA............
Your answer is....
By using Jesus as an example, Hughes points out that real men (for Jesus was the manliest of men!) surround themselves with close friends to be intimately close to.
Think about it: Jesus chose 12 guys to be on a three-year road trip with him.
They walked together, ate together, ministered together, prayed together.
They lived life together in a mutually intimate way that we would be quick to scorn if only it weren’t Jesus! Hughes is right in saying that friendship is not optional.
We “need Christian male friends who have a same-sex understanding of the serpentine passages of your heart.”
This leads into the example of David and Jonathan. While reading through The Masculine Mandate, Phillips used David and Jonathan as his primary example of biblical male friendship as well!
It is a particularly good example, as Hughes points out, because both Jonathan and David were manly men.
They were warriors. I loved these sentences: “Blood-covered Jonathan was one tough hombre!”
“Blood-smeared stood holding the great gory head, talking calmly with Jonathan’s father, Saul.” Hughes’ description of these two men is helpful to us, especially because Jonathan and David were likely 30 years apart, a challenge to our idea of peer-only friendships.
The example is also outstanding because there is no doubt that these two men should have been jealous rivals looking each to undermine the other.

DISCIPLINE➡
Discipline means training of the mind and character. It is obedience to rules and an orderly behavior. It also refers to the practices involved in to regulate the human behaviour accordance to a set of pre-determined rules.
There is a need and importance of discipline in our society and in our life. In our home, in schools in the playground and everywhere in this world discipline brings order.
The absence of discipline brings disorder and chaos. There are some rules that control our activities. If we do not respect these rules, our life will be like a boat without the boatman. If we do not obey our parents at home, our teachers at school and the referee or the umpire in the playground, we can imagine what will happen. So both our parents and the teachers are very anxious to make us see the need for discipline. They want us to grow up like disciplined soldiers. In the armed forces discipline is everything. Without discipline the army is a rabble. Like them we all must be disciplined, so that everybody can be proud of us.

FRIENDSHIP➡Fiona Famous was a very popular girl at school. She was clever and fun, and got on well with everyone. It was no accident that Fiona was so popular. From an early age she had made an effort to be kind and friendly to everyone. She invited the whole class to her birthday party, and from time to time she would give presents to everybody. She was such a busy girl, with so many friends, that she hardly got a chance to spend time with individual friends. However, she felt very lucky; no other girl had so many friends at school and in the neighborhood.
But everything changed on National Friendship Day. On that day, at school, everyone was having a great time, drawing, painting, giving gifts. That day in class everyone had to make three presents to give to their three best friends. Fiona enjoyed the task of choosing three from amongst all the dozens of her friends.
However, when all the presents had been made and shared out among classmates, Fiona was the only one who had not received a present! She felt terrible, and spent hours crying. How could it be possible? So much effort to make so many friends, and in the end no one saw her as their best friend? Everyone came and tried to console her for a while. But each one only stayed for a short time before leaving.
This was exactly what Fiona had done so many times to others.
She realized that she was a good companion and acquaintance, but she had not been a true friend to anyone. She had tried not to argue with anyone, she had tried to pay attention to everyone, but now she had found out that that was not enough to create true friendship.
When she got home that night , created quite a puddle with her tears, and Fiona asked her mother where she could find true friends.
"Fiona, my dear," answered her mother, "you cannot buy friends with a smile or a few good words. If you really want true friends, you will have to give them real time and affection. For a true friend you must always be available, in good times and bad".
"But I want to be everybody's friend! I need to share my time among everyone!", Fiona protested.
"My dear, you're a lovely girl," said her mother, "but you can't be a close friend to everybody. There just isn't enough time to be available for everyone, so it's only possible to have a few true friends. The others will by playmates or acquaintances, but they won't be close friends".
Hearing this, Fiona decided to change her ways so that she could finally have some true friends. That night, in bed, she thought about what she could do to get them.
She thought about her mother. Her mother was always willing to help her, she put up with all of Fiona's dislikes and problems, she always forgave her, she loved her a great deal...
That was what makes friends!
And Fiona smiled from ear to ear, realizing that she already had the best friend anyone could ever want.
