What's inside

Because it's Monday, I have small group tonight. So I thought I'd write a bit about what we've been talking about at small group.

My small group is 6 guys about my age. One of our leaders is the worship director at church (or the worship director's husband, I'm not sure who really has the title, but they both do a lot of work). He's from Zim, and our other leader is an American married to a doctor who works at Baylor Clinic. We're talking about character and, because we're young men, how that relates to sexuality. It's been a very good and provocative group, and our discussion is always interesting.

Anyway, one thing we've been talking about is how we need to develop an inner strength to deal with the pressures of life that press on us from the outside. Basically, we need to be strong enough to do the right thing even when all the pressures of life are pushing for other things. This isn't easy, but Psalms says, "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble."

I think all eight of us would appreciate your prayers as we learn together and grow.

-Ben
