Comment by Peter Horne on June 26, 2012 at 4:18pm: I didn't really know where to post this, so hope this is appropriate. I recently started a new blog, www.GodMeetsBall.blogspot.com. It's an attempt to connect with GUYS who follow sports, but find church a bit whimpy. It's more for Christians than the unsaved, but I hope there'll be crossover. I'd love some ideas and suggestions!!
