Nebraska, Football, and the 3G Network

Here's a post just for the men:
Hey guys,
Are you still reveling in the last minute victory of the Hokies over Nebraska? I am. I can't wait for Miami this Saturday. I just hope we get a lot more offense going this time.

Speaking of offense, how much ground are you gaining in your spiritual life? If you will play along with my metaphor, are you racking up yardage, or are you actually losing ground like Nebraska going from scoring a touchdown, to not even being in field goal range because they had so many penalties and made so many mistakes? It was such a bad run of events for Nebraska that I almost couldn't believe it, but sometimes we don't do any better when it comes to living our lives the way God intended us to. Are you honoring God with your life, or are you moving in the wrong direction?

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)

Look, we all make mistakes. We all screw up sometimes. But the question is, when you screw up, what are you going to do? Are you going to keep doing what you are doing, which will result in you continuing to move in the wrong direction, or are you going to get some help from some people who care, which will result in you changing direction and beginning to make progress again?

That's what the 3G Network (aka Guys' Gel Group) is about. It's just a small bunch of guys getting together once a week to support each other, talk about how their week has been, pray for each other, and study a little bit of the Bible together to gain insight into what God's will is for their lives. It's simple, and it is exactly what everyone needs, and few people find.

This semester 3G is meeting Tuesday nights at 8pm at CCVT's campus house and is studying 1 Peter -- How to Cope When the World is Against You, Faith that Works, Hope, Caring for One Another. Those are some of the topics that will be covered over the next several weeks.

If your offense could use a little help (and since there is always room for improvement, who couldn't?) then come join the guys meeting Tuesday nights at 3G.

That's 8pm at the campus house.

If you need directions:
Remember, our campus house is right on the edge of campus by most of the dorms, over by the Washington Street tennis courts -- probably closer than most of your classes if you live on campus. If you need directions from off campus, probably the best way to get them is to type "413 West Clay St., Blacksburg, VA" into Google maps.

If you are walking from on campus, do this: When you are standing on Washington Street between O'Shaughnessy (O'Shag) Hall and Johnson Hall you are only one short block away. Cross to the other side of the street and take the sidewalk up the hill towards VT's Cranwell International Center. (You will see a sign for Cranwell on Washington St.) VT's Tennis Courts will be on your right. As you are walking up the hill veer to your left off of the sidewalk and walk up the grassy hill. (Veer left before you get to the chain link fence with all the vines growing on it. We are on the other side of that fence.) You will see the campus house facing you. It's a two story red brick house with a big front porch and a banner on the balcony railing that says "Christ's Church @ VT Campus Ministry" -- so you'll know you found the right place once you get here!

Finally, to borrow a phrase from EA Sports, "Get in the Game." You won't regret it.
