Get excited about serving Christ.
this past weekend I had the pleasure of going to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to see my son’s girlfriend get baptized. What a great experience it was. She was getting baptized at a place called the church of the oaks that was on the campus of the University of Alabama. It was a newer church that comprised of 90% if not more students. the energy level, worship and message was great, The best part was the end. Once the pastor finished his sermon, he baptized Kyra. I attached a video link of her testimony below. To see her make that decision to follow Christ brought a tear to my eye. And I don’t cry often. After that, they commissioned close to 100 students that were serving either overseas domestically or at camps this summer. Ive never seen that much of a church body serving. And they were enthusiastic about it! So, why can’t we be like them? The pastor talked about how as adults we tend to say I’ll serve once the kids are out of the house, etc. or once I get financially stable I can do it. I don’t think that’s mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

I talked a little bit about Jonah and how he wasn’t the best guy to begin with as far as profits go, God sent him on a mission, and he ran thinking he could run away from God. I was very critical of him when I was discussing this with my Sunday school class This past Sunday. But as I took a moment, I realized I do this on a daily basis. So how dare I judge Jonah for not listening to God. I learned a pretty good lesson and thought I would share it with the group.

warm up stuff

THA-THANG:
I had a stack of about 30 or so cardboard pieces with different exercises and quantities on them. The PAX grabbed an exercise and ran to the next cone, roughly 30 yards away and did the exercise and quantity. Then they ran back to grab another card and brought it up to the cone as well. We continued until all cards were brought to the next cone. We repeated the process along a marked path. Some runs were longer than others, and we also picked up additional cards along the way. Exercise included were as follows: Merkins, squads, toe touch planks, inchworms, Burpees, dry docks, crunches, big boy sit ups, side straddle hops, jump, squats, and maybe a couple more I can’t remember. Quantities varied from five Merkins to 30 dry docks.

MARY:
Not much in terms of at work today. We just finished the last couple minutes with a round of ring of fire inchworms

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What is a chiral molecule?

A molecule is said to be chiral if the object and its mirror image are non-superimposable, just like our right and left hand. They are essentially the same but completely different. One hand when placed over the other on a table do not line up, but when placed up against them selves they do. In the case of the well-known chiral painkiller, ibuprofen, the (S) or right -enantiomer has the desired pharmacological activity while the (R) left -enantiomer is totally inactive. In the case of Thalidomide, The R-enantiomer is an effective sedative, which has a soothing effect that relieves anxiety and makes the patient drowsy; while, the S-enantiomer is known to cause very serious teratogenic birth defects.
We can see this example with God. God created us in his own image when looking at us, we may look like him, but we are way different than he is. The difference that separates us from him is sin. When we separate ourselves from him we can become ineffective or even toxic and deadly. So how can we change this? Turn away from sin and come closer to God. Read his word, pray to him, follow his commands. When we turn towards him we change.

Old Testament is like a stained glass window. It is beautiful on its own, well made and intricately designed but its true beauty is not shown until the light hits it. Jesus is that light. Challenge yourself to read more of the Bible, especially the Old Testament with Jesus in mind.

Trusting God
Story of Joseph, when he found out that Mary was pregnant after he was engaged, was not his plan. He was confused, upset and I’m sure heartbroken. But God had a different plan for him. God‘s plans were way different than his. And God‘s plan is perfect. an angel came to Joseph, and let him know what his plan was. That he should stay with Mary and take her as his wife.
There’s been many times in my life where my plants have gone to the wayside, and God has shown me that he is in control and that he always knows more. Job example. Trust in God is not always easy, it may be confusing or tough. But we must trust God that he has a plan for our lives, and we must let him lead.

MOLESKIN:
Welcome to Skewer from the project! He made us do some much needed sprints.
