21 Folly brings joy to one who has no sense,
but whoever has understanding keeps a straight course.
22 Plans fail for lack of counsel,
but with many advisers they succeed. Proverbs 15:21-22
I played in a golf tournament this week, where I played on a team with 5 other individuals. We all had the same goal as a team, do our best and have fun doing it. The thing with golf is many times hoping to hit a long straight drive, or putt a long putt that you hope doesn't curve around the cup and out. The thing that was great about this golf tournament was that we all contributed to our team, and when a couple of people had the "Grief Shank" going(yes they named a shot after me), the other members picked them up. The same thing can be said about the Christian life and walk. Many of us can find ourselves veering off course, and shanking our shots off the narrow fairway. But the great thing about surrounding yourselves with other followers of Christ is that there is plenty of counsel and support you can receive to keep you straight. Don't hit those golf balls of the Gospel for Christ alone, but work as a team to pick each other up and celebrate what He has done for you.
Have a great weekend.

Absolutely true, Matt. Stay in the pond with the other fish and you won't drown. Wait, fish don't drown. Hmmm...stay in the field with the other sheep and you won't get lost? Not much better. Oh well.
