After my last post yesterday a couple of you replied with some very helpful comments. Which made me think of this reality - we were not meant to do life alone. In addition to the support and companionship of our wives (for those of us who are married) we need men to walk with. I'm thinking of David and Jonathon. Paul and Barnabus. David's might men. The 12. And even Jesus and his 3 - Peter, James and John. There is something that only can come from the company of men. Men will sharpen men (see Prov. 27:17) in ways that a woman can not sharpen a man.

I am thankful that in one way shape or form I've been able to walk through life with each of you. Each of you in your own way has blessed my life.

My wondering for you is this: who are the men that you walk closely with day by day? Who are the ones who sharpen you, help you grow, and make you laugh? I know for me in order for Tommy to go (see first blog to understand Tommy) I need to walk with men. So do you. The stakes are high. Walk on. With a brother.

Peace and Joy

    A good word! One of my recent goals is to spend more time with fewer people. That sounds confusing, let me explain. In looking, I discovered that I had been spending quite a bit of time in large or mid size groups. Good groups. Christian groups. One even a men's group. But the size made it easy to hide and difficult to disclose. For the past 7 months I've been in a triad with 2 other men...meeting on a weekly basis. What a difference that has made! We're not meeting, we are doing life together!
