Chainsaws, Wood Splitting and a Fatty Breakfast

This past Saturday at the Men's Breakfast, the Amen group guys laid out a nice array of fattening breakfast foods. My personal favorite was a corndog looking item that was actually a pancake wrapped around some sausage and then was placed on a stick. Now that is eating!

Our pastor started out by starting up a chanisaw and telling us a story of how manly he feels when he is out chopping wood. His point was that as men we should cut sharply and not be wishy washy about our faith...certainly there is nothing wishy washy about a chainsaw.

Here were my takeaways from his Intentional Manhood from the Inside Out:

1. Man's role speaks to creation and not to the culture we live in

2. We are to set a clear example of Christ likeness and this is a big responsibility

3. God designed church and marriage to be an example of how we are to function as men

These three items really hit home with me and I hope to apply them to my walk with Christ.

In Christ,

Todd
