Tonight was our final "LETTERS FROM DAD" night with the 60 men who've been tracking the past 4 months in that ministry. We've all written legacy & love letters to our wives, to our children, to our parents -- and now, on this last night, a FINAL LETTER. This one expressed our deepest desire for those we love and the future we picture for them.
Remember back in 2006, disaster struck the tiny, mining town of Sago, West Virginia? An explosion at the Sago coal mine trapped 13 miners for nearly 2 days. In a letter to the victims' families, Randal McCloy, Jr., the sole survivor, wrote some words recounting their last moments. The word was that for some of the miners trapped in a certain spot, they only had 12 minutes of oxygen left.
So - in keeping with that - we turned out all the lights in the room and began to craft the letter - as if we only had twelve minutes left to live.
What a powerful time together.
YOU ARE MIGHTY WARRIORS, GUYS!
And be blessed.
