Today's sermon at church was interesting.  It was about what you do about following Christ.

There was an example given about being drawn closer to Christ.  It was technically about a marriage relationship and the three corners of the triangle were God, Man, and Woman.  The idea was that as you grow together your relationship should grow you toward Christ and if it doesn't maybe you should reconsider.

It opened up a lot of interesting discussion between Boarder, Middle Boy, and I.  I asked them both if they thought they were the kind of men that would draw a woman closer to Christ through their relationship. 

Another part of the sermon was about being in the adventure of following Christ versus watching the adventure from the sidelines.  Middle Boy admitted that he is having trouble being in the adventure, because "the adventure doesn't feel safe" to him.

This is the first real thing Middle Boy has said about his spirituality to me in a long time.

I want our home to be an encouragement to him in his relationship with Christ.  I want to be a good example and I want him to have other relationships where the men are good examples.  We are SO BLESSED to have those relationships in our lives.

Praises for open honest communication.
