Guest Blog

Guest Blog by Jeremiah McBride- (AKA- Mr 8 Track- he wasn't alive when this song was written)

Tampa Frat House starts this week and, as men, we need to man up. So, as a tribute to the awesomeness of this group of men manning up to what God has called us to be and do, The Commodores rewrote their famous song for us. Wanna hear it, here it goes: (funk playing in the background)

Tampa Frat----House

Mighty Savior, calling us at 6:15 AM

Tampa Frat----House

The men are back and that’s a fact

Ain’t holding nothin’ back.

.

Tampa Frat----House

It’s the one, the only one

That’s built on the solid rock

We’re together, everybody knows

And here’s where the coffee flows

(Verse 1)

We’ve given up on sleep

To come and get……our Dunkin on

How can He use, the lack of sleep

Jesus, Lord, God, please hit the snooze!

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

The coffee box, the awesome flops

Make a man wish for more caffeine

We know we’re tired, but we know how to praise

Sure enough to knock a strong man to his knees.

(Chorus)

So Blaine could probably polish it up a little more, but I think it about sums up the awesome mornings we have at Frat House. It’s thought provoking, yet compelling, even at 6:15 in the morning. And we get to see Hal before he has taken his shower. It’s an awful sight sometimes, but we still love him.

God is moving a great deal of men these days to stand firm in their faith and begin to lead lives for Christ. Frat House is one of the best ways I know of to get together with those other men looking to impact this world for God’s kingdom. He pushes, he prods, he cuts deep to our core as men, but as he cuts, he heals and mends our hearts so we can go out and be a strong voice for His word, both in our families and in our workplaces. I look forward to seeing you all there with a Boston Crème in one hand, and a 32 oz. java in the other.

Jesus Freak Out!
