Howdy friends! As many of you know I was in an Advocare weight loss competition called the Biggest Winner, for which I was hoping to win $500. Unfortunately I got third place, and only came away with a total of 13 pounds lost, which is great in itself, but I was wanting more. I did however come in first place out of all the guys that participated, hence the post title. So where do I go from here?

My Tuesdays are pretty long these days, but for really good reasons. I wake up at 4am to get ready for a Men’s…hmm I’m not sure if I should call it a class, conference, or gathering, I will go with class. So this Men’s class goes by several names, The Quest, Men’s Fraternity, Search for Authentic Manhood; the last is a good description of what the class purpose is. Lead by Pastor Robert Lewis, of Fellowship Bible Church, AR, each week the 40 of us guys at Westport Church gather at 6am and watch the DVD of Lewis’ class. The topics covered so far have been things like, “The Manhood Journey”, “Remembering Dad” and so far 2 of the 5 wounds men need to deal with to become real men. And when I say real men, I am talking about, a masculine identity that God has ordained us to have, one that balances manhood’s four faces, “King”, “Warrior”, “Lover”, and “Friend”. Want to find out more, well come join us at Westport Church, or go to the Men’s Fraternity website and get your church to start it. Continue Reading…
