What Do We Do, Giant Church Inc?

Three weeks ago I knew what I was writing for this month’s Giant Church Inc post. I planned to share a link to the interview with Aimee Byrd on The Roy’s Report.

Until We Didn’t at Giant Church Inc

My friend was sitting in the corner chair when I walked into Panera Bread. She texted me days before to ask if we could meet soon. She had something to tell me and it couldn’t wait until our next workout with the group.  She stood when she saw me walking towards her. We hugged each…
