One of the Boys

I recently got an invitation on Facebook to be in a group. The group is called Danny's Boys. And here is the story behind the invitation:

It started when Chris was in high school and was a member of a discipleship group at church. The group was led by Danny Jelley, and the guys continued to hang out through, and now after, college. One of the first "tests" I had to pass as Chris's girlfriend was meeting Danny. I had just driven 6 hours from Nashville and Chris took me to his house and we talked. Danny asked me some deep questions about myself and my relationship with God and then he had to leave because China called. I'm not sure how long Danny was on the phone, but I think I may have fallen asleep on the couch. I'm pretty sure I passed the "test" because he would have told Chris if he didn't approve.

Since meeting Danny, I met the guys from this group and was immediately accepted because of Chris and our relationship. This was truly an amazing feeling. This group was, and still is, a huge part of Chris's life, and they have become a huge part of mine as well. Danny and his wife have welcomed me into their home and discipleship family, and so have the guys. This was point was driven home when I got an invitation on Facebook to join the group "Danny's Boys."
