Iron sharpens Iron
It has been far too long since I have done a blog recognizing the men and women in my life that sharpen me to be more like Christ. However, rather than naming off every person I know, I want to just thank God for the brothers and sisters he has brought into my life to give me wise counsel and sound advice. There have many new things in my life (more blogs to come) that I have needed much counsel and wisdom on, and needless to say, God has graciously put some amazing friends along my path to point me to Jesus. Through the last few weeks, I have been continually aware of the Proverb that says, “wisdom is found in a multitude of counselors.” I praise God for people that love me, remind me of truth, and who help usher me into the presence of God. Thanks all! Brent

Group hug!
/me joins the hug.
Amen! Brent - I was going to write a blog on this exact topic about a week ago, but didn't. Isn't it amazing how God places SPECIFIC individuals in our lives at just the right time to encourage us, admonish us, spur each other on, etc. Now, this is what being part of the body truly is! What an AMAZING God we have. Ya, so what are these new things?!? Definitely in the group hug!
I'll join the group hug!
I'm loving this group hug! Thanks for starting the fun case!
hmmm...I'm considering joining the 'group hug', but since only guys have joined...I think I should refrain! have fun though!
I, too, love the counsel and opinions of others. It helps when you're not thinking straight!
If we must, we shall change the structure of the group hug so as to allow for a single group hug. The order thus far has been, well, chaotic and we all came together Braveheart style. We shall change it up so that we form a perfect circle, everyone facing the center of the circle. This will allow everyone in the circle to be side-by-side. Now, drape your arms straight-like over and across the shoulders of the person to your left and right, making sure not to drape your arms or hands (for those with longer arms and digits (fingers)). Okay, now we can have a safe and very well functioning group hug experience.

/breaks out skanking in the middle of the now "circle hug" to some rad ska music
and now thanks to JJ we have created a group dance circle...count me in!! Bust a move!
Listen. Listen to the Truth. Listen to how it hurts.

Rusty, according to your definition, then alrighty... I'll join!
Paachinator -
I KNEW I could get you to join in. I just KNEW it =)
Heather - when I first read your comment (I speed read it) I thought you said were saying set JJ on fire...now that would definitely be a circle to be a part of :)
Sweet! Burning people!
Not to worry Bryan. Skanking places one in a parallel dimension where you are untouched by the damaging effects of fire and other such hot things
Hey Brent it's Cori O'Neal!! Yea know I'm in Jen's group! Anyways just saying Hi.
Wow, I'm definitely in as long as we can roast some smores while were toasting JJ. DONE.
I"m toasted on Brent's blog!!!!
Yeah /cheer
I'm not allowed to get drunk in real life, so I'm glad you all got me toasted in cyber space!
jk
wow! ok...so according to the new definition...I'll join in the fun! Fires(mmmhmm)...yeah I'm a pyro...you know we should really follow through with the event that we've planned over cyberspace...that would be awesome!
Well, if you actually look up "toast" in the dictionary, it could mean merely to drink to someone's health. I don't think I could very well roast marshmallows while roasting JJ. That simply wouldn't be fitting. And it really would be kinda gross.
Otherwise, I'm glad you got me in the circle, Casey. All you've got to do is define your terms!!!!! (Good life rule.)
Hannah I would agree. Can you imagine the smell of burning flesh....yack, gag, suddenly feeling very sick to my stomach. Oh, and something would seem to appear a bit canabalistic even if no one was going to eat JJ, the look of humans roasting humans-no good. Let us instead use something a little less disguisting like wood. I hear it burns great. And Hannah toasting is fun unless you get "toasted" because of toasting. So as long as we use sparkling apple juice or some safe item then we are good here. Let's do it durring a dark night so we can play hide-n-go-seek in the woods. That would be so fun.
Umm... thanks for those vibrant word pictures, Heather. Be assured.... they took full effect. ;)
Anyway... on a lighter note (toasting)... sparkling apple cider sounds lovely, Heather. Really lovely.
Wow!
that's all I have to say...
Gee whiz...
I wouldn't mind a post every NOW and then. I mean, seriously, you start a story and you've got to follow up. That's like leaving us with a cliff-hanger and then never adding another episode. It's torture, really. Especially for our eager little girl hearts. Please, Brent, please update. (!) ;)
