Mighty Men

John Crotts has written a potent 44 page booklet titled Mighty Men : The Starters Guide to Leading Your Family. Extremely practical. Dense with good ideas.

He begins with this story:

"Two lines formed at the entrance of the men's meeting at church. A very long line waited in front of a door marked, "Men who are NOT the spiritual leaders of their families." Over the other door the sign read, "Men who ARE the spiritual leaders of their families." Only one man stood in this line. When asked what his big secret was, he shrugged his shoulders and responded, "I am just standing where my wife told me to."

Let's remember -- today -- that we ARE commissioned as spiritual leaders of our families. The only question is how well we're doing the job we've been called to.
