Saturday 3/24/12

Hey all,

Tomorrow (3/24/12) morning's scheduled meeting has been called off.  Due to plans for folks next weekend (coming up quickly) and the weekend after (i.e. Easter), the next meeting is ''to be announced.'  If you have any scheduling concerns, ideas or suggestions for the next meeting, go ahead and comment here.

Action needed to repeal HHS mandate

Men,

Unless you've ignored the news for the past few weeks, you are likely aware of the federal HHS mandate that is attacking our religious liberty and FIrst Ammendment rights, brought about by the Obama administration.

While our group is not a political entity, there is a time where doing the right thing requires political action.  This is such a time!

It will likely take legislation to reign in this current administration and this policy. Fortunately there are members of Congress willing to do so.   Send a message to your legislators to "co-sponsor and support the Respect for Rights of Conscience Act (HR-1179, and S-1467).  Please help ensure that the religious liberty and conscience rights of all participants in our nation's health care system are respected."

You can contact your US Representative and Senators by phone, email, or fax letter.  US Capitol switchboard is (202)224-3121 or call their local office.  Several websites will link you to your Washington Representative and send the emails for you from a template.  Here's one you can use: www.usccb.org/conscience

It takes just a few minutes, but this message must be heard loud and clear.  It is time to Walk Like A Man and add YOUR voice to the chorus!!

Thank you, Gentlemen, in advance.

February 10th & 11th

Hello all,

This Friday evening, we'll be watching the movie Courageous (2011) at the Riveras'.  It will be something of a 'date night,' so plan to bring your spouse, or significant-other.  The Riveras' will need to know how many are coming, so contact if you (and the +1) can make it.  I'll forward along contact information to you, if needed.

Then on Saturday morning, we'll be meeting at the same place/time as our usual Saturday morning sessions to go over chapters 9, 10 and 11.  I'll be presenting chapter 9, Matthew will be presenting chapter 10 and Matt will be presenting chapter 11. 

See you there.

- Pete

01/21/12 Chapters 6-8

Hey all,

Today we covered chapters 6 through 8 of Kendrick and Alcorn's The Resolution for Men.  Lee walked us through chapter 6 - a discussion of modeling the love for our wives upon the love Jesus had for His church.  Bob explored chapter 7, particularly as it relates to our whole immediate family, kids included.  Jonesy took us through chapter 8, which centered around living with honor.

Next time, we will examine chapters 9, 10 and 11.  We'll being meeting in the same location on 02/11/2012.  The evening before, however, we will be meeting at Bob's house to view the movie Courageous.  For directions to that location, leave a comment to this post and I (Pete) can get in touch with you.
