COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

Mark 2:1-5 — When Jesus returned to Capernaum several days later, the news spread quickly that he was back home. Soon the house where he was staying was so packed with visitors that there was no more room, even outside the door. While he was preaching God’s word to them, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn’t bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “My child, your sins are forgiven.”

Who can you count on to carry your mat? Are you surrounding yourself with the kind of people you can count on, when the chips are down, when the odds are not in your favor, to put you on their shoulders and carry you to Jesus.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

It’s Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday). Traditionally thought of as the day that Judas worked out his deal to hand Jesus over to authorities. For 3 years Judas had been with Jesus. But Judas wanted something different than what Jesus was giving. Judas received 30 silver pieces for betraying Jesus. Have you kept your faith? To what degree? If the price were right, would you betray Jesus and deny him?

 

MOLESKIN:
For Ribbed’s M and the continued healing of her hands. For Choir Boy and the decisions/opportunities he’s facing. For Will a student with Stripped was while he was in Student Ministry, who is staring down a 12-14 hour surgery tomorrow. For all of our F3 brothers battling injuries. And for all the sick and suffering.  For the unsaid prayers in our hearts.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As the title says, go home and smack your wife’s ass. While this may also get you a smack in the face, the point is to make your wife know you still want her. I don’t know your wife’s love language, I know my wife’s isn’t to be smacked on her ass.  But we as men fall into a cycle of work, parenting, rest, do it again. A lot of marriages end up as cohabitation, coparenting, roommate type relationships, and that’s not what God wants for us. He wants us to have a passion for our wife’s. He wants us to love them, desire them, and want them intimately. We all had to work to win the women we married, so go home and remind them of that, remind them that you still desire them and love them.

If you do chose to randomly go home and smack your wife’s ass, let us know how that worked out. You never know unless you try.
MOLESKIN:

We seem to be missing a lot of brothers at the Dog# lately. I know we’re all busy and have a ton of other things going on, but let’s get back in the gloom. Also shout out to Cowboy who was downrange from Nashville

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for daughters going through some medical issues and other struggles. Prayers for girl dads as we raise these young women to hopefully see what love and marriage looks like. PS they watch how we treat our wives.   Prayers for our PAC who were MIA.
