Monday Funday: The philosophy major living in my basement

He may think he's a rockstar, act like a rockstar, have the hair of a rockstar, and even play in a pretty cool rockstar band...
but to me he's the guy who mows my lawn, uses my amp, drives my car, eats my food, and lives in my basement.

I'm not complaining. I really enjoy having him around. The truth is I'm glad to have another man in this otherwise estrogen-filled house. Plus, he's got great taste in football teams.  Da Bears!

He's trying to get through college... and in a few years graduate with a highly employable philosophy degree. :  )

Looks like he might be living in the basement for a couple of more years... unless his band makes it big. And I'm more than cool with that because I love him... and his journey with Jesus.
"This is my son whom I love; with him I am well pleased." Matthew 3:17

There’s a lot of talk about disciplemaking these days. But what does disciplemaking  really  look like for you in your everyday real life? That's what we'll explore together. You'll be encouraged and equipped. Bring your Bible, some friends, and your sense of humor. What? With a focus on Jesus, we'll explore how to be a disciple—who makes disciples—who make more disciples. Session 1 Be a Disciple (D1) Everything in life will try to pull you off the simplicity of following Jesus together with others. Session 2 Who Makes Disciples (D2) Following Jesus isn’t a subject to be mastered, but an infectious way of life that is lived together and shared with others. Session 3 Who Make More Disciples (D3) If those we disciple don’t make more disciples, then we haven’t made disciples like Jesus. When? Saturday morning, November 20, 2021 8:30 AM to 1 PM (light lunch included) Where? Temple Baptist Church 10 Van Dyke Canton, IL 61520 Who? For  anyone  interested in learning how to be
