CHAMPIONS

The poll based on the June 27th blog has been removed because it is not working properly. Sorry.

I am involved with a group of men once a month who read a book together and then meet to talk about it. The group is called "Champions." What has been great about it is seeing twelve men, originally basic strangers to one another, come into the same room and over a six-month period, develop bonded relationship with each another. The other very significant thing is seeing the work of God deepen in these men's lives. There is something extraordinarily miraculous about it.

Tonight there was a sense of soberness about our personal lives - laughter at some of the crazy

things that have happened to us - concern for our families - repentance over sin - and a transparency that was refreshingly bold.

I am blessed to share life with these men who have become my friends. If you're listening guys, thanks.

Be blessed.
