Facing Your Giants

I was up early. I was looking forward to my Tuesday morning meeting with my tight-knit group of men friends for our prayer breakfast.  It seemed I got stopped at every stop light on my way, but I still arrived at the Corner Bakery ahead of everyone else at 6:45.

Aaaahhhhhhh!......My First Hot, Strong Mug Of Black Coffee

Bill and Chuck couldn't make it today, but Terry, Darrel, Paul and Michael joined me.  Most of them ordered a paninni to go with their morning joe, but I was content to make quiet love to my mug of hot, bubbly, strong black coffee as we chatted.

Max Lucado's Book Tells Us How To Beat The Unbeatable Giants in Our Lives

After catching up on what we all had been doing since we last met, we began our discussion of the first two chapters of Max Lucado's book, "Facing Your Giants".

Michael Brought His NOOK, With "Facing Your Giants" Downloaded and Stored

This is a wonderful read.  We began by recounting the story of David and his battle with Goliath.  Mr Lucado points out that this complete mismatch would have been over with very quickly except for one deciding factor:  David's complete disregard for Goliath and his complete faith in God.

In short, when we put our faith in God and not in our own "abilities", we allow miracles to happen in our lives. 

Goliath was a seemingly unbeatable giant.  What are the unbeatable giants in your life?
