Man Week

Well this week has been exciting. It is…Man week, and women week. The guys and the girls have been split up hearing from a different person each day in a different setting. The first day we heard from Mark Harris, I knew his son Marcus from kamp, but he talked to us about what it looks like to be a godly man, a godly parent and the importance of not worrying about what people think, just speak truth. That afternoon Adam Martin and I went and hung out at Bass Pro, talking looking at guns and boots and water shoes, ate some fudge of course. Just doing life together. People use that term here like they grew up with it “doing life together”, I had never heard that before, but the idea is so awesome. I don’t have to sit and have a class session to learn from my mentors, sometimes going out and doing stuff in the real world is where I learn the most and get to know them best. We went to Joes house yesterday, we got to go to the trampoline room. Yes you heard me right, Joe has a trampoline room complete with a basketball goal right infront of it. We had a friendly dunk contest and then moved upstairs into a serious time talking about the way that we view women. How lust and pornography destroys your mind and in you continue to live in that sin it will cause you to not have control over how you view women, which will destroy your marriage and inhibit your relationship with God. Afterward we went down to the lower fields of K-1 and had a wiffleball game in the freezing cold. It was pretty intense. My team emerged victorious, before heading back up for lunch. Jon and I met up with Grant Gaines yesterday and went over Hebrew, we are only on chapter 2 of our study, but it has been awesome so far. Later that afternoon Lydia and I went on a hike, exploring a creek area, filled a few bags full of trash and went and hung out by a waterfall for a while, just talking and getting to know each other better. That was really fun, it was a little chilly though, so I was glad to have put on some layers. Then today we heard from Tim, Brain Wangs brother in law, he was really cool, he talked to us about how all of our actions are just an overflow of our heart. Our circumstances don't cause us to say the things we do, what you put in is what you will get out.
