Are you loyal?

For my Friday Focus this week I'm going to cheat somewhat and talk about the discussion I had on Wednesday night during my Men's Bible Study.  The topic we had was Loyalty.  The book we are using for the study begins with former head football coach Tom Osborne out of Nebraska.  Coach Osborne supported a former athlete by the name of Lawrence Phillips.  Lawrence Phillips was a running back for the Huskers and was drafted by the St. Louis Rams.  Lawrence had some trouble with the law but during his rough patches, Coach Osborne still supported Lawrence Phillips - he was still loyal to him.  Coach Osborne took a big risk supporting such a public figure.  The relationship between these two individuals was at a level that loyalty and trust was automatic.  Have you had that type of relationship?  Have you been loyal to somebody?  Had faith in them?  Many times in our lives we are going to have situations when we need to make a decision...do we remain loyal and seize the opportunity to help someone or will we turn the other cheek and possibly lose a relationship...So....are you loyal???
