There are three boys, brothers, who need a mentor right now.
Three brothers who have lived for half their lives with no mother.She was murdered.
Three boys who have lived much of their lives with a father who struggles heavily with addiction.He is currently incarcerated.
Three brothers who currently live with a relative… all in a one bedroom apartment.
Three brothers who are in one school for the longest period of time they have ever experienced…. at a year and a half.If you are a member of OakMountainChurch, there is a possibility that one of these three brothers are in your child’s classroom.
Three brothers who statistics show have a dim future ahead of them….. except for you.
Many say, “I would love to do something if I only knew what to do.”
We often live life as if the end goal is to save up enough money and hold our breath long enough so that we can get through all of life's junk and eventually move to South Florida where we can forevermore chase the elusive white orb around fields of green until Christ returns. Is that truly what we are called to? Is that it?
This is a discussion about living life, all of life, on purpose. Enjoy, comment, disagree, be challenged, engage. Just don't go through another day sleepwalking.

Susie is a stay at home mom of four who works way too hard for the pay she gets. I would give you her email too, but she won't answer. Did I mention she is a mom of four?
