Today I had the good pleasure of playing a round of golf with a group from our men's ministry.
We got up before the dawn, tee'd off at 7, and actually got in a few holes before the heat came down like a hammer and made us hunt for shade after each stroke of play.
It was one of those mornings that makes you think, "nice!" No big issues to confront or deal with... just guys playing golf and comparing the blessings of God in our lives. Nice.
Like I was discussing with the fella working in the pro-shop, doing life together as the church is more than just sitting in the pew next to each other. The pew is important... and so is the course.
Even as I write this, it strikes me that all the guys playing today also happened to be members of what we call ServantCorps (our deacon ministry). These are some of the men who bleed and sweat together to make sure the "wheels stay on the cart" so to speak in the life of our church. There's something right about that as it meets the golf course.
Maybe you'll find a lesson in there for yourself, maybe not; but today... for me... the rightness seems all-together overt and sensible.
Walking together in Christ... now that's just simply a great idea!
May the peace of Christ engulf you.
John
How right you are John. As I always say, "you can't just hear It or read It, you have to live It and do It, for the Word of God to mean anything". Christian fellowship is so important. Love you.
