gambling...

So, this morning I was talking about 'the well' with somebody that remains anonymous about tonight's topic of discussion, GAMBLING. They told me "HEY, I NEED TO HEAR ABOUT GAMBLING! I CAN GAMBLE LIKE A MADMAN!!!"

...and it reminded me of all of the things that I see almost daily in my walks around campus. I'm reminded of the countlless card games I've witnessed and all of the silly dares that I've taken. But more seriously I'm reminded of the men I know that used to spend hours online gambling thousands of dollars. I'm reminded of one of my best friends in my undergrad experience that had to drive home to get the $3,500.00 that he owed a fellow fraternity brother because a high risk STUPID game of poker. I'm reminded of those men in my life that would attend football and basketball games in college and run books (OFFER BETS) in the concourse and the aisles of the stands.

Whether you see these things around you or not, they exist LOUDLY. It can be addictive, destructive and ULTIMATELY CAN SEPERATE US FROM JESUS.

Tonight we will discuss GAMBLING and its realities...

...we seek truth, we seek real life, we seek Jesus Christ
