Box Dodge

Every HIM has a puzzle box approximately 1 ft x 1 ft size.  You have to hold the box above your head like a waiter at a restaurant when they carry their trays.  You can switch hands when shoulder starts to get tired.  You try to knock each others box out of each others hand.  Grid with 9 guys was about 366 ft x 36ft (playing space).  If you lose your box, you have to step out of the grid and do 5 burpees.  You cannot grab the box if someone knocks it but if you can stabilize it with your finger tips then you are good.  If it falls or you grab it, get on those burpees.

I have seen this done with pizza boxes and it is far more interesting because they are bigger but can be more easily stabilized.

Halfday, Streaker, Trousers, Shoelaces, Rep Sleepy, Doppelganger, Pennies, Cow Patty, Grouch
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No specific Biblical text but was watching The Chosen Season 1 Episode 8 when Yeshua was talking to the Samaritan woman at the well.  At one point she says, “You picked the wrong person.”  and “I’m rejected by others.” to which Yeshua says, “I know but not by the Messiah.”  While this is not in the Bible, it resonates tremendously in my spirit.  I am ashamedly guilty of judging a book by its cover but not YHWH.  He looks beyond what our eyes see and sees every person he created for who they really are.  We are never to be the judge in this world.  Yeshua called us to love and it is through our love that we show those around us how we are different.  Only when people ask should we offer our views and thoughts from a place of love rather than cramming them down peoples’ throats even though I am guilty of wanting to shake those who do not know, or willingly ignore, they are living apart from YHWH.  YHWH is the only true and righteous judge.  His ways are higher than ours and his thoughts are higher than ours.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Exodus 33:19 – “… And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

As disciples of Yeshua, we are called to love all.  Lovingly correct sinful behavior of fellow disciples and love those who do not hold themselves to the teachings of Christ and law of YHWH as a means to show them Christ.

As I struggle with wanting to shake people out of their sinful nature (mainly those who are not disciples of Christ), I am constantly reminded that it is not my job.  It is my job to love those individuals and let the light of YHWH show through the love I am showing those individuals and let YHWH take care of the rest.  He is in control of everything and his thoughts are higher than mine and his ways are higher than mine.  Loving people is not the same as condoning a person’s choices.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CSAUP at Haw Ridge on May 6 from 9 PM to midnight.  Teams can still register.

Welcome to Pennies and Trousers

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

‭‭Psalm‬ ‭19:14‬

What we take in with our ears and eyes is what the words of our mouths become and will be what we mediate on in our heart. Reading the Bible, praying, and spending time with others that have similar beliefs all help us take in good things so when we are pressured and squeezed by life, what comes out is honoring to God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 15:19 – If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

As HIMs in this world, YHWH calls us to be different.  It is easy to conform to the ways of this world when society tells you what a man should be when in reality, our only example should be Yeshua (Jesus).  He showed us what it was to love unconditionally, teach without belittling, motivate without yelling, and be not of this world but in this world because the world will hate us when we are not conforming to its standard.  We should always be on the lookout for the enemy attacking us and trying to tell us that “it’s not that bad, is it really?”  Everything we do, we should do for the glory of YHWH because even if nobody else is looking, he is and he’s the only one that matters.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
