From The Smallest Beginnings

Throughout history:  myths, stories, tales, legends, parables, etc. have been used to help people interpret their present realities.  When we first saw the trailer for the movie, The Hobbit:  An Unexpected Journey, we recognized that it was a visual interpretation of The Heart of Texas Boot Camp and the men delivering it.

The Dwarves Form A Merry Company – a ragtag group which includes a hobbit and wizard!  Their mission is to regain the dwarves homeland, called Erebor located inside the Lonely Mountain.  For you see, a dragon stole Erebor and its treasure years ago and now guards it.  The adventure that lies ahead is fraught with risk and battle and will require great courage and faith.

We realize that not everyone relates to this kind of movie, and that’s ok; but our hope is that this trailer will give you a feel for the men gathering to help with this boot camp, the spiritual forces that may be set against it, and perhaps even inspire you to Join Us. 

In a sense we are like the dwarves, small in stature, yet fierce in heart!  We are not trained warriors, we are every day folk with every day jobs who find ourselves on An Unexpected Journey.  An adventure way beyond our comfort zone!

Upon agreeing to this adventure, we determined that we would pray this boot camp into reality, and would not attempt it in our own self efforts.  So, we endeavor to hear and follow Jesus every step of the way relying only on his strength.  

“For apart from me, you can do nothing.” ~ Jesus
