The title...

Why start this blog without a simple explanation of the title....So here goes.

I've been in this small group (and I do mean small) with an awesome guy. We meet every (well, almost) Thursday evening @ 9pm, sit on his back porch, spit sunflower seeds, munch popcorn and just be honest with each other.

There is a short list of questions well go thru and answer honestly. This is not a "truth-or-dare" type thing. There's an accountability aspect to it, but it's more than that (to me). We talk about the real things that Christian men deal with on a daily/hourly/minutely basis. If you are a guy ages...hmmm....12 to 90...you know what I'm talking about. Integrity, Honesty, Fear, Pride, Purity, Witnessing, Prayer, Family...did I miss any?

So anyway, the blueprint for this comes from some book, I have no idea what it's called. The group is called a "Life Transformation Group". Thus, the title of this blog....I know, I know...sheer genius.

I've been involved for maybe 8 or 9 months now and the first...I don't know...8 months.....I was just kinda in cruise control. I had revealed some pretty shameful stuff, but hadn't really felt any "life transformation". All it really did was give me guilt!! Thursday was my Italian grandmother!! But the last 2 weeks or so, God has really gotten up in my face and prompted me to examine my life and my walk with Him.

That's all I'll reveal for now...I don't want to tell the whole story the first time!!
