ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: Isolation vs Community
Peter was alone when he denied Jesus. I noticed when reading through Acts every time “filled with the Spirit” was mentioned they were in a group with a clear trial or purpose. Satan love’s isolation and the opposite is true of the Holy Spirit. We have to be aware and not be afraid of being vulnerable and recognize the importance of community and fellowship. Also, it is possible to be around others and still be isolated internally.

WARMUP: 3 Minutes of Greenway Riding

THE THANG: Turnbuckle, to Burenetts Ridge, to Ross Marble, then a Loop around Hickory. Pax had to keep the Q from getting lost. We found some magic mushrooms and that is when the real trip began. Talked to a rabbit for about 5 minutes then we rode flow Bro. The night cap was a sweet night ride down West Perimeter and back.

MARY:

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for Hooties Friend’s family.

COT: Everyone is going to have super tough times in their lives at some point due to deaths of loved ones, illness, or other catastrophe. Sometimes it’s all we can do just to get up and put one foot in front of the other. Just keep doing that and eventually things will get better. Just try to hold on to hope.

THE THANG:
Up Contender from Pump track…then east on Ridge to Dragon on left…down Dragon…climb Relentless Ridge (easy way up)…west on Ridge to Renegade on left…turn right on Contender back to the top…turn left on ridge head down the Right Stuff. Climb back up challenger and down your choice of Right Stuff or Relentless ridge back to the cars.

COT: I talked about how in book of Matthew, Matthew refers to himself as the tax collector. His selfless accounts of Jesus’ life caught my attention and it made me think about how I could be more selfless in my life and if everyone was more selfless our community, nation, world would be a better place.
