Reformational Golf

I have an idea. No...it's more of a dream. Yesterday a buddy and I were playing golf and we began talking about how wonderful it would be to get a group of pastor guys together for a day of prayer, reading & discussing the Word, and (of course) plenty of golf. A very beautiful golf club near our home offers free golf to pastors, making such an outing affordable. Also, my wife and I are currently living in a spacious, upscale log-cabin on 70 acres of wilderness along a river (obviously, not a home we own--it's more of a longer-term house-sitting arrangement).

Here's the plan:

1. Every couple of weeks we gather together on Mondays.
2. Optional breakfast at our cabin for all the families/couples. There is plenty of room downstairs for the kids, a large field for outdoor games, a shallow pond for swimming, hot-tubbing, etc.
3. Ladies can have a time of fellowship and (well, whatever it is that ladies do).
4. Guys will depart for the course.
5. Assemble in the club-house for a time of reading a portion of Scripture & prayer.
6. Golf - as we golf--we discuss the scripture passage.
7. Late Lunch - we hear an exposition from one of the brothers on that passage. Time of discussion.
8. Back with the ladies/families--for family fellowship.
9. Families/couples traveling from a distance would be welcome to stay with us overnight. There is plenty of room and privacy.

The details can change, but the basic ingredients are: golf, Scripture, families, prayer.

Let's golf for the glory of God!
