What a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment it is to know that you, as a man have made a difference in the lives of young men! I’ll never forget the host of men that made such a positive impact on my life.  From my dad, to my scout master, to my pastor (and father-in-law), to the deacon-uncles, the list could go on and on.  Men have an obligation to teach boys what it really means to be a man.

Tonight, we host a Joint Session with all our men (young and old) where we talk, eat, laugh and share.  My sincere hope is that something will be said that will help encourage our young men to stand strong with integrity, strive for excellence in every area of their lives, live based upon christian principles and a vibrant relationship with God, have a chivalrous respect for females, grow up with a unswerving commitment to family and realize that you will really never get lost as long as you follow a moral compass.  This is going to be a blessing to everyone who attends. Come on and be encouraged!  Come on and be blessed!
