Prepare for battle

To the men out there -- and the women who love them -- I highly recommend the book "A Rattling of Sabers:  Preparing Your Heart for Life's Battles."

This book, which was released this summer, is by Dr. Greg Bourgond, the creator of the Heart of a Warrior program. I went through his Heart of a Warrior and Focus of a Warrior studies. They were excellent programs designed to align one's heart with God's heart and to find out what we are supposed to do in life.

If there is anyone that I know who wants to see men succeed, it's Dr. Bourgond.

The next stage of the warrior journey

I have written in the past about my participation in a group of men called Heart of a Warrior. Now I'm continuing on to the next stage of the warrior journey with most of those same men in a group called Focus of a Warrior.

This should be interesting and challenging. Here goes. . .
