Fired up for DBOB 2007

For all you fired up (spiritual) men out there on the Net, get pumped up! I'm looking forward for great retreat this coming October 2007. I am fired up and ready to do Lord's work. Also I am looking forward for feedback, testimonies, and chit chat from you men out there. Proverbs 27:17. http://bibleresources.bible.com/passagesearchresults.php?passage1=proverbs+27%3A17&version1=31 Apologize for unable to update for last several months. It has been rough summer. Just bought house then just moved last month, got the blues towards end of summer. Just now getting settled in this new environment, son in new school, and making goals for 2007/2008.

We (Deaf Ministry) are ready for 2nd Annual Deaf Band of Brothers retreat. For more information go to http://www.fxcc.org/deaf/mano_retreat/manoretreat.asp

We have been doing men's bible class for last few weeks during Sunday school. We are utilizing "Wild at Heart" book written by John Eldridge. It's a great book. This will be first experience using the manual long side with it also prepared by John Eldridge. His main focus are Men's heart and want us to take it slow and try to digest what he suggest us do. This is unique bible class. We are so busy and caught up in society of what men's profile ought to be. Question who are we? By digging into our hearts we can find out how we can improve our relationship with God among many things God has plans for us. Our idea of what we ought to be might be interfering with God's plan? There are few men who are very motivated and would fight for the one they love, God!. Then there are some who are struggling to understand or have issues in their lives possibility. Each person are unique way God designed us. I believe with this class we can use each other to mature spiritually. I hope with this class we are taking can help us men to analyze themselves and someday can be involved more for Lord's work.

I thank brother in Christ in Texas for bringing the idea of "Wild at Heart". It touched him deeply as it has with mine. Only this time we are using the WAH (Wild at heart) manual that we are using alongside with the book. John Eldridge stated if we use a workbook we tend to fill in blanks then forget about it, while with the manual, his concept is a guide and help us to know thyself.

Lord,

Thank you for being patient with us. We have so much to do with little time we all have left in this world. Help us men to open ourselves to you more. I know these men want to have a deep understanding and better relationship with you and with each other. That’s what the Deaf Band of Brothers is all about. Guide us men in way you see we ought to be. We should be Wild at Heart like David after Your own heart. I praise you; your Son's name Amen.
