We are so excited about Braveheart '08, the Men’s Retreat coming up this weekend. Over 140 men are signed up ready to blast clay targets, little clay bunnies hopping along the ground, Robin Hood straw bales, conquer 55’ climbing walls and ace the Frisbee golf course out at Jacob’s Ladder Camp and Retreats .
To whet your appetite, Jim Roberts is bringing back his famous fish fry with fried okra, baked beans, cole slaw and the fixins. Bob Carter has dessert ready for you with strawberry pie, chocolate chip pie, carrot cake and a mystery cake. Steve Murdock is leading the Three Little Pigs Breakfast with omelets, hash browns, bacon, sausage and ham to get you up Saturday morning. Finally, Chris Cook unleashes the Big Green Egg Smoker, for pulled pork sandwiches Saturday for lunch.
More to look forward to, we have a 40 year old son pumped that his dad said “yes” when invited to go to the retreat with him. We have men asking their teen age sons to spend 24 hours with them learning what it means to be a man and the struggles that come with it. It is time to push the pause button on life so we can rest in the awesomeness and indescribability of God.
Finally, Neal Jeffrey our speaker from Prestonwood Baptist Church, in Dallas and our own Micah Kersh will whet a spiritual appetite for you to crave the moving of God this weekend. Neal will touch on things like addressing the fatal flaws in a man’s life, fighting to know Christ, and taking a knee and answering the bell. We are looking forward to the stories that come from a weekend of men being real with life and each other. And we'd love to hear your stories of previous retreats and camp experiences that have transformed your life.
