the lead pastor of the village church in highland village; matt chandler; recently wrote a blog (click here) in which he described the feeling of privilege he had several years ago while repeatedly being able to observe several older men join together each and every friday morning for coffee. he mentioned the feeling of accomplishment they must felt to have lived so long faithfully serving the same God.i read this and immediately felt a connection. about 4 years ago, i began meeting every thursday morning with a group of men. we came together, shared thoughts and stories from The Bible, questioned current events, offered a place of council, tossed around useless trivia and basically shared our lives with each other over an hour or 2 of bitter coffee and pancakes. over time, the numbers have varied, some have moved to other states or countries (either permanently or temporarily) the location has changed (several times), but the intent has never changed...to come together for a common good...to continue along the path of a long obedience in the same direction.
