CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Phil 2:4.  I had an experience the other day where God put somebody in my path and counseled me to be patient and listen to what they wanted to say more than to their words.  I tend to hurry conversations along, pulling only information I think is important for me to do what I think I need to do.  What God wants me to do is listen more so I can spot times when I might be able to help somebody.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Rainbow’s friend Paul, who is struggling right now; for Waxjob’s family and mother-in-law Karen, who is close to the end of her earthly journey; and prayers for Snag and his Dad.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

THA-THANG:

-So, I wanted to do something terrible.  Went to the newest path on the NE part of the park.  First light pole – 5 dive bombers, bear crawl to the next light pole, jog to next light pole and start the cycle again.  We did this until we reached the road.

-Jogged to the Overlook.  Did 25’s with merkins and BBS, did a lap around the oval in front of the admin building between sets.

-Back to the AO.  Bear crawl 360 down the parking lot, then Super Mario back, then Frankenstein back again.

– Finished off with a super terrible Ring of Fire that was Al Gore/Jump Squats.  Kinda like a failure to launch.

Did 10 O-Rings in each direction in honor of the failure to launch.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

16 Pax, no FNG’s.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus gave us the parable of the seed and the mustard tree to show us that we are all works in progress with small beginnings and then a final fruitful glorious form.  Realize that growth, difficulties, change is all part of God’s plan for us.  Ignore words of discouragement if your path is currently not what you’d like it to be, listen to the words of encouragement as you move forward.
MOLESKIN:
We prayed for Katie who recently had bypass surgery.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Safe Haven still needs donations.  CSAUP coming up at Dog Pound.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The teachers I’ve learned the most from didn’t think they were teaching me, they just thought we were friends.  Bob Goff

Talked about what it looks like to truly share your faith.  We are all messy people.  We aren’t professionals at our faith.  God calls us to be friends and share our own experiences we’ve had with our creator.  In all our mess.  If we’re waiting to share our faith when we feel we’ve got it all together, we never will.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke on John Chapter 18 vs 36 Where Christ is being quizzed by Pilot about who he is and Christ reply’s “My kingdom is not of this world.  If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that  might not be delivered over to the Jews.  But My kingdom is not of this world.”

If anyone should have felt hopeless it was Jesus in that situation.  He was going to be tortured and killed, and he knew it.  Yet he knew it wasn’t the end for him.  That his kingdom is not of this world and neither should ours be.  That evil may when for a short time, but our God triumphs over it in the end.  So we should be hopeful not hopeless in our times of trial, because we were made for something bigger.
