Well, week two of BE is over and week three has already begun (having the weeks begin and end on the same day is very confusing, CrossPoint is always a week ahead of Sunday School). I have to say that it's been an encouragement at the number of people who have been consistent with this so far - and the fact that so many people have done the "work outs" beyond even the scope of what I've asked them to do is very encouraging (of course, tell them that I'd end the group if they didn't doesn't hurt).
