Prayer - there is no other way

Back in the corner at Adagio, twas good to talk about: Prayer, walking as men of integrity; our behavior - Psa 15, our speech - Matt 12:36-37, and leading other men in these areas by example and teaching. In discussing 1 Tim 2, we spent some time on the call to prayer, and the different root words for "men" in vs. 1 and vs.8. Please add your thoughts / research on these words / passages to this blog.
