Just a reminder, men. Tomorrow morning we kick off, “Operation, Man Up!” “But today’s the superbowl, pastor Rob!” Yeah, and? Your point? “Well, you know, how can we have all that partying and exertion and then be expected to get up early for this?” Let me ask you something. Is your employer expecting you to […]
