One of the most amazing games of Ultimate Frisburpee took place as the good guys (my team) made a miraculous come from behind 20 point score to end the game. It was really not even close how great we played. There were a lot of burpees, great work after scores and huffing, puffing and hands on the knees to go around.
On the way back to the flag carrying our weight a Jailbreak was called and made it the best start to the day!

MARY: unfortunately not enough time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape! Still sign up

COT: Mark 9:14-24

This is the healing of a young boy with a mute spirit. I just now realized this directly after the transfiguration on the mount.
Jesus is approached by the father of the child who says the boy has been like this since early childhood and
“But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If[d] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Q also shared the life of Takeshi Nagai who lived through the atomic bomb in Nagasaki and his journey through faith.

When you struggle with belief, when you feel sound in your beliefs, remember that He is the light and guidepost to keep you strong.

Better Than Everest

We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

If you live inside this massive promise, your life is more solid and stable than Mount Everest.

Nothing can blow you over when you are inside the walls of Romans 8:28. Outside Romans 8:28, all is confusion and anxiety and fear and uncertainty. Outside this promise of God’s all-encompassing future grace, there are straw houses of drugs and pornography and dozens of futile diversions. There are slat walls and tin roofs of fragile investment strategies and fleeting insurance coverage and trivial retirement plans. There are cardboard fortifications of deadbolt locks and alarm systems and antiballistic missiles. Outside are a thousand substitutes for Romans 8:28.

Once you walk through the door of love into the massive, unshakable structure of Romans 8:28, everything changes. There come into your life stability and depth and freedom. You simply can’t be blown over anymore. The confidence that a sovereign God governs for your good all the pain and all the pleasure that you will ever experience is an incomparable refuge and security and hope and power in your life.

When God’s people really live by the future grace of Romans 8:28 — from measles to the mortuary — they are the freest and strongest and most generous people in the world.

Their light shines and people give glory to their Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).
