Our Knights in Training

For this very reason make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

~ II Peter 1:5 ~

Our boys Ethan & Graham recently started a Bible Study program with two other families with boys--the Warbingtons and the Dickinsons. These two families composed this incredible discipleship program based on the verse quoted above--the purpose is to raise these young boys, or 'squires', into godly young men, or 'knights'. The boys were 'initiated in' on September 26th; it was a fun evening of pizza and fellowship with friends, and then the more serious discussion of what is expected of the young men. The night ended with a VERY SCARY trip down the Dickinson's zip-line in the backyard . . . in the pitch-black dark of the night, of course! Our entire family made it down, including little Anna Beth who begged to go and then screamed the whole way down! We are so excited to be a part of this Bible Study, particularly in a time when the negative influences around us are so great. Thank you for including us, Chuck, Stacey, Mike & Carrie! The boys are just as excited and eager to learn. We look forward to seeing them and all of the boys grow closer to God and each other in the days to come.
