Man-Up : An Epic size story

It's 6:15 AM. Yes in the early morning. God has rotated His earth, and we fall out of bed to a half lit sky. Morning rays just awakening, dew on the cool early grass.

Coffee is brewing, the Krispy Kreme folks were up all night. God does not sleep. He stands guardian watch over us as we rest. (thank you).

This morning, the men of Southbrook poured into the video cafe' to catch a glimpse of His glory.



















We were treated to a video by John Eldridge (Wild at Heart). The video is called Epic, same title as his new book, "A retelling of the gospel in four acts, John Eldredge invites us to revisit the drama of life, viewing God not only as the author but also as the lead actor, exploring His motives and His heart. Eldredge examines the power of story, the universal longing for a "plot" that makes sense deep inside us, our desire for a meaningful role to play, our love of books and movies, and how all of this points us to the gospel itself."

Awesome stuff. Great table talk, great men. Thanks to Alan Abbott for leading this!
