If a man doubts his manliness, he needs only to believe what is already true. God created him to be a man and to live as a man by being strong and keeping His Word. Even a man that the world would consider weak, feeble, and the least 'manly' can be stronger than many in the world if he believes God and keeps His commandments. He does not need to take a trip to the wilderness and wait for a voice from heaven to declare to his soul that he is a man. He does not have to wait for his father or some father figure to somehow bestow 'manness' upon him. He doesn't have to prove to himself or to others that he has what it takes to do whatever the world or he himself deems is important and manly. Masculinity is given by God to men, and men must live it out Biblically rather than perverting it and redefining it in worldly, carnal, and selfish terms.

INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPINGS
Use freshly ground beef. Take the ground beef and break it apart in a large
bowl. Grind the pepper over it and mix with a large fork, I find the
2-tined one with the long handle works best.  Divide the meat into three
mounds on waxed paper.  Form the mounds into patties. DO NOT PRESS it
tight, just kind of gather it up and form the patties, pressing lightly to
form(about 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick). Grill over medium high heat until the
juices just begin to appear on the top, then flip it over and continue
cooking for about half the time took for the first side. Serve of toasted
muffins with whatever toppings you like.
If you press the meat tight, you end up with tuff fast-food stype burger
I do not use salt in the mixture because it tuffings the meat and draws out
the juices. Salt can added, if desires, when assembling finished burgers.
Other herbs can be added to the meat when mixing, but I find that a good
burger is one were the meat is left alone and the toppings are added later.
