Men’s Breakfast

 We had a men’s breakfast at Marathon this past Saturday. It’s just a wonderful time to get together, hang out with each other, and talk about life.

 

This morning we had Tony Eubanks come and speak to us. Tony is the Chaplain for the Clemson Tigers, and he did a wonderful job. Tony really challenged us to be the men that God has called us to be, and to spend time in the Bible, and alone in prayer.

 

He also challenged us to make a difference at Marathon, by bringing more people in so that more lives can be changed, and make a difference in the world.

 

Tony made the point that he was a basketball player working as a Chaplain for a football team, but that he wasn’t there to teach football, he was there to help those kids find God. That’s what we are here for. As the men of Marathon, our goal should always be to bring more people in, and help change people’s lives.

Faith’s Prayer

 I walked into Faith’s room the other night to read to her. I’ve been reading books to her lately, and that night we were going to be reading a book on prayer.

 

But as I came into her room, she said “Dad, you’re interrupting me!”

 

I said “Oh Really? What am I interrupting?”

 

She said, “I’m Praying!”

 

I thought it was so great the Faith was doing this on her on – that I didn’t have to tell her to pray – that we had been praying enough for her to realize the praying was something that she needed to do. I mean, she’s only 5 years old! I wish that I had gotten that when I was 5 years old.

 

So, I think we’re doing good so far, and I hope she keeps it going.

 

I really hope that I walk into her room when she is a teenager, and she says “Dad, don’t interrupt me. I’m Praying!”

 

Then I’ll really know that she’s got it.
