MENS GROUP @ 529 W PUEBLO #4 THIS MONDAY @ 6:45PM.... SPECIAL MEN AND WOMEN PRE-ELECTION SPECIAL.... WHY?? BECAUSE VOTING MATTERS SO LETS TALK...


We are faced with daily decisions.... Some of the outcomes of our choices have consequences.... We need to carefully chose, not just whimsically decide on a name or team color. This November 4th, you should be ready. Lets prepare together...I could say "vote or die," like Ditty said, but thats not really true and I try not to repeat him. I could say "rock the vote," but that makes voting sound like a baby that needs to be put to sleep. Maybe "get out the vote" is a good slogan, except, what does that even mean? So without any cool slogan let me put it to you like this; We are blessed to get an opportunity to vote, therefore lets talk about the issues and know how to approach our choices. Lets talk about options, people, issues, and help eachother vote responsibly. Many of us follow politics, some don't, but we all need to vote for the best choice for the best reasons and sometimes thats hard to decipher in this world of info. So this Monday night we will talk, and pray together. All are welcome, bring snacks if you want and bring a parent or friend. PS if you have time, read over your voter sample ballots ahead of time.

Listenupmen Bowling and Galaga High Score Setting Bash

Hello Men,


I am posting the results of the first ever Listen Up Men Bowling and Galaga High Score Setting Bash. When Tarik texted that he was sick a few of the guys who needed the fellowship and could not last another week, LOL!!!, got together on monday night for some bowling fun. Here are the results:



If you are wondering why Devin's score is so low it is because he is a terrible player!!! Not really, he had actully cut his fingers on his right hand and therefore had to bowl left handed.

So why the weird galaga part in the title. Well if you are unfamiliar with this game click ont the title and it will take you to a page explaining it. We got to the bowling ally early and had to waite about 2 hours before we could bowl. So we decided to play this ancient arcade game called Galaga. As we were playing it we decided it would be a great accomplishment for us to beat the high score. So about 45 minutes and 2 dollars later we set a new high score on the Machine at 362,680 pts. shattering the old record by over 100,000 points.

In any case we missed ya'll last week and look forward to hanging out on Monday. Have a good weekend!

Wow, we had fun. The Camping trip was awesome! Cowboy coffee, woofle ball, waterfalls, fruit launcher, torn clothing, tri tip, beans, hamburgers, hiking, tarp hanging, tree climbing, frisbee, football, rain, shine, guitar, and much more. Thanks to everyone who brought stuff and helped plan it. Thanks to all that just came and shared in the fun. I know we ALL were blessed with some sweet fellowship and we all grew closer to eachother. Can't wait to do it again.

Hockey Night






Listenupmen went to the first Los Angeles Kings Hockey game this year. It was fun, there were many fights, not many fans, lots of dangerous food, and as always great fellowship!!!
