Brief bullets on men's groups

• An older, long married, friend in Christian ministry, recently met with me and asked me to join his theoretical men's group as unofficial guest theologian. 

• I told him that my default answer to join any men's group would be 'no'.

• Too much of my life has been a 'men's group'. 

(Mysteriously, this has been changing more with my permanently changed appearance)

(And of course, being like a much younger version of Chuck Norris, but with weapons, does not hurt)

• I have double digit numbers of Christian men, that I can discuss men's issues with...

• This even before any discussions with my open-minded, helpful, pastors or anyone @church. 

• I am spiritually accountable.

• But being the swell friend I am, I agreed to assist with this theoretical men's group, and submit to his lead.

• But he will have to realize I have learned, educated, views on certain men's topics.

• Another good friend might start a Christian men's group in another city.

• I pray for his success.

• If married men do not have reasonable and deep fellowship with other men, perhaps they need a men's group.

• If single men do not have reasonable and deep fellowship with other men, perhaps they need a men's group.

•  I do not.

• With God's help, I need to keep improving financially, physically, intellectually and spiritually, by grace through faith alone in the gospel (Ephesians 1-2).

• Post PhD, I am more social.

• Post homecaring for my now deceased Mother, I am more social.

• I am not suggesting whatsoever, that I need to be in a women's group.

(However, I am wondering which would bring more laughs, me joining a men's group, or me joining a women's group?)
