Brothers:
Relax with us at lunch tomorrow! Jimmy Buffett's version of a Freddy Neal favorite, "Everbody's Talkin'", will greet your ears.
Then, for your SPIRIT, we'll take a quick look at some theses on Law and Gospel. One takeaway is how helpful they are to keep our faith simple in complex times.
For the MIND, we'll consider Bill O'Reilly's new book, Killing Kennedy. You can decide whether or not to put it on your summer reading list.
Finally, for the BODY, we'll engage the wristband phenomenon. (Note: they keep track of just about everything these days.) Skip it? Buy now? Wait until the price comes down? You make the call tomorrow...
AT

June 11th Edition (No. XVII) of THE NICODEMUS LEAGUE!
Brothers:
Spring seems to be "easing" us into Summer this year -- which is nice! I did try to bring back some of the rains I experienced while in Nebraska last week, so You're Welcome! (BTW, twenty minutes I got off the plane -- I was in Omaha for my aunt's funeral -- the civil defense sirens went off as massive thunderstorm hit the area with hail much like what we experienced.)
There always seems to be drama. Do you follow it, or does it follow you? (I think I'm in the latter group.)
I can't guarantee drama at tomorrow's gathering, but there will, as always, be some tidbits to nourish your spirit, soul, and body!
We'll do a quick review of Scripture's "Tower of Babel" story and identify the takeaways for men. Then the "Manly Virtues" -- from artofmanliness.com -- will engage us. To wrap things up, we'll talk hobbies and fatherhood!
Come with your pick to win the U.S. Open Golf Championship! (The final round will be played on Father's Day.) You may win a gift certificate. A great father (Payne Stewart) and then father-to-be (Phil Mickelson) battled it out at Pinhurst (this year's course) in 1999!
See you tomorrow!
