CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Circle of Trust

I don’t even remember signing up for this Q. But because I actually showed up Friday I decided to keep it. I’m no politician but I hope to keep my word. Tomorrow we have a lot of choices – to vote for many things. It’s a responsibility we should take seriously, but also we need to understand what we’re doing too.

We live in a democratic republic. This means you elect a representative who, unless specifically presented to voters as an amendment, vote on things for us. This is, more or less, a feature and not a bug of our 3-branch government system. Today we walked through a few (but certainly not all) types of government.

Regardless of the type of government we’re under, the Bible says a few things:

1 Timothy 2:2-4 – 1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

1 Peter 2:17 – Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.

Romans 13:1 – Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.

Today we’re doing something different here: I’m going to pray for prayer requests but then I’m also going to echo a prayer that one of my pastors yesterday prayed during our meeting for our country because it had such an impact on me as crying out to God for righteousness and mercy to be fruit of these elections.

(Took prayer requests) Dumpster Dive, Tail Hook, Jenner

Additional Prayer

Father, the great truth that we just sang is such a rich encouragement to us. We do believe that all is well with our souls because of Jesus Christ our Savior and His gracious, sovereign rule over all things. And that reality is a special encouragement to us in prayer. It is an encouragement to us this week, Lord, as our nation is in another cycle of local, state, and national elections. So, as Your people we would like to begin this week in obedience to Your Word that tells us to pray for all people, including ‘kings and all who are in high positions’ (1 Timothy 2:2a)’ we pray this so that we, Your people, might live ‘peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way’ (1 Timothy 2:2b). So Lord, we pray this morning for our city and for our county mayors and all local government leaders.

We pray also for our state legislature and for our governor. We pray for the United States congress, supreme court, and president. We pray that You would give our government leaders wisdom and skill in leading. We pray that our nation would remain a place where we can freely worship You and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You tell us, Lord, that it is Your desire for all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4); so we pray for a great outpouring of Your Holy Spirit in our country.

But whatever may happen, we pray that you would strengthen us; that you would help us to love our neighbors, to be patient with those we may disagree with, and to extend the grace, mercy, and love of Christ to those around us. We thank you for Christian people who serve in government everyday. We pray specifically for [man currently serving as legal counsel to senators in Washington, DC]. Bless [him] and others like him who work in government. Help them to see good and godly fruit from their efforts and raise up more people like [him] who seek to honor you in government service.

So we’re glad this morning in this election week to commit the needs of our country to Your care and to ask you to help us to be ambassadors for Jesus Christ in our country.

Some upper body stretching

Mosey to the CMU pile. we did 2 sets of 21’s arm curls, then 10 Over head presses

THA-THANG:

Upon leaving the CMU pile we encountered an FNG with no arms and legs unresponsive on the ground. This workout is centered on know some basic CPR skills and first responder actions to take in a case of an emergency. With thanks to the Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center for allowing me to use a CPR mannequin to demonstrate and show how to perform proper and effective chest compressions.

Everyone was split into partners as one partner was performing chest compressions with me observing and guiding the other was doing squats. The rest of the group one partner was dragginh CMU to the end of the parking lot to perform 5 star jacks to symbolize flagging down the ambulance. The other partner was performing the following exercising while waiting for that partner to return.

LBC’S
Jungle Boi Squat jumps
Rockettes

Each person got to practice 1 minute of doing 30 compression and imitating 2 breaths, or mouth to mouth. Once everyone had a chance to complete at least one minute of compressions we went on a mosey to the entrance of the AO and performed money humpers to help alert the ambulance as to where to pull in.

We returned to the CMU’S and performed 20 windshield wipers. Returned the CMU’s and headed back to the AO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The term “Good Samaritan” comes from “The Parable of the Good Samaritan.” Luke 10:25-37. Jesus speaks of a traveler from Jerusalem on his way to Jericho, who was attacked by thieves. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him severely and left him to die right there by the road. Several people saw the man and walked past him because of how dangerous of an area this part of the road was. Some of the people that walked past the man in need were a priest and a Levite. The only person to stop and help the person was a Samaritan who took pity on the man, cared for the man and even escorted him to an inn where he helped the man recover from his injuries.

Jesus used this man a test to find a good man. The reasons the Levite and the priest did not stop to lend was because of how dangerous the road was, and they thought “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ But… the good Samaritan reversed the question and asked, “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?”- Martin Luther King, Jr.
MOLESKIN:
Remember to be an effective HIM it requires us to help our fellow man. By dragging our CMU’s it symbolized dragging a person from a dangerous situation to help render aid. The “Good Samaritan” Law is in place to protect you if you are to render CPR to someone and keeps you from being sued in case ribs are fractured while rendering CPR. We should never be afraid to help based on what could happen to us but think what would happen to them if I don’t act.

Brolympics will be returning at Asylum on November 5th.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today’s my birthday! I’m so happy to share it with you men at the start!

As many of you know, lately I’ve had my thoughts on a certain person. She’s gotten my attention and my thoughts go there often. But the best part about her? She fills my thoughts with the Word of God. We talk about it all of the time.

We discuss what we’re meditating on, what we’re reading through, what our devotionals that we read says (we even discovered we have the same daily devotional book)!

Many people probably know what the greatest two commandments are. Love God and love others. This fulfills the whole law! The Jews counted up 613 different laws from the Torah to be followed and yet if you did these two things you would fulfill the law.

Coupled with this is what Jesus said with your heart – what you meditate on, what you think about, will overflow. This is also stated in the same passage that Jesus quotes when asked about the Greatest Commandment in Deuteronomy 6:4-9:

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[b] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Obedience to God’s law is threefold: immediately, completely, and joyfully. We can ask God to help us follow through, especially with our hearts, as we think about The Good News of Law as my church put it during a study we did this summer.

So today, dwell upon, meditate on, talk about, and think of God’s law. You will see the fruit of thinking about how good it is all the time with a heart that overflows with belief of the same.

Birthday Q’s seriously make your day go so well. 11/10 would recommend any opportunity you get to Q on your bday to do it!
