Find Comfort in God, even in the midst of the cold and gloom.

“Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned, that she has received from the Lord ‘s hand double for all her sins. A voice cries: “In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” A voice says, “Cry!” And I said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

The PAX came in strong this morning- ready for the weekend and eagerly awaiting the arrival of Ole Saint Nick. 27 strong pushed their way through the pain. Shoutout to Woodshack for just being Woodshack- settled in with the FNG and brought some BBQ sauce to boot! Shoutout to Zygote. I stole his Q from yesterday- it was a good thing so why not repeat it?

Mosey to the outdoor chapel. 

Each man will do elevens in the chapel.  At the stage we will do decline merkens.  At the other end of the chapel we will do mountain climbers (four count or twice each leg).

Mosey to beginning of Serpentine Sidewalk. 

We will hop to first light then run to fifth light, hop to sixth light, run to tenth, etc. in patterns of five lights until we reach the end of the serpentine sidewalk.  Afterwards we will repeat the same pattern back down the serpentine sidewalk until we hit the roadway.  The only difference is that we will replace hops with lunges.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In his excellent book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Thomas Foster states that many books are about quests, people searching for something.  Examples are King Arthur tales, Oliver Twist, The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars.  Common themes in quest stories are that the hero faces adventure, learns more about himself on the quest, learns more about life, and often finds that he is actually seeking something different than what he originally sought after.  We can see such patterns in our own lives.  We may search for fame, for power, for money, but what we really need and eventually seek is God.  Further, in continually seeking God, we discover new things about ourselves, about life and about God.  We find God is different than what we originally may have thought.  Keep seeking God.  In doing so, you will shed old clothes and be renewed with new clothing, becoming new again and again.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We shall gather for fellowship at the Abridged Beer Company immediately after we break.

Joy of Restoration
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬
http://bible.com/59/gen.1.1.esv

Then sin happened and now everything here is different from what it was originally intended to be.

Christmas marks the beginning of the restoration.

“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God.”

The guys were very gracious as I was a little late getting to the start point.
