    Men’s Retreat

    I went on a men’s retreat this week for the fourth year in a row. I took some decent notes and took many photos of the sermon slides. I am not a Bible teacher, per se, but am planning to share about the lessons with you readers, in case you find them edifying

    Due to circumstances beyond our control, we could not go to church today, so we did the next best thing: We attended online.

    Other than the Holy Bible…

    OK, so this is saying a lot, but other than The Holy Bible, the living Word of God, which is above all other books by light years, this is the best book I’ve ever read.

    Church Men-bers, Assemble!

    Today I got to attend a church event, a men’s BBQ. I like our men’s breakfasts and barbecues, not just for the delicious food, but the soul food. Yes, I do like cornbread and collard greens, but Jesus said He had food the disciples did not know about. They probably thought the Father sent him…

    Now I don’t approach church with a balance sheet, and look for cost/benefit analyses, but at the end of the day, Church is the best investment of my time for edification. During the week, God blesses me with enjoyment at work helping people to buy stuff, and in the evening, I get to read and…
