5 Thoughts for 5 Minutes | Songs being played during this time (“Snowfall” by Øneheart | “Spirit Lead Me Where My Trust is Without Borders” by Raspo)

1 | Clear the Noise

– Close our eyes and carry the mind to heart-centered
– Clearing your head with all the noise around you
– Find Yourself where you are at the Present

2 | Visualize

– Visualize | Where you are.. What you want to do with your life.. who do you want to be tomorrow.. what needs to change

3 | Present Day Question

– If death stood in front of you would you hug it?
– Identify why, what, and who is bringing you to that.. address the situation

4 | Muhammad Ali Poem

“Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought nor sold, but its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither see nor hear. In times of trouble, it’s powerless cheer. It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand. It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a gift, be thankful if sends not diamonds, pearls, or riches but the love of real, true friends”

• Ponder on who those figures are that God has given you

5 | Why do we close our eyes?

“Why do we close our eyes when we pray, when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream, because the most beautiful things in our life are not seen but felt by the heart”

• Clean up the mind and come back to life at the present moment.. still at heart-centered remain calm and reduce the noise

Word: A Lot Can Happen In 7 Days
Domino (F3 Smokies) shared this pic on Facebook and I thought it was really cool. Check out the pic in this message thread. I encourage you to read through each of these Scripture passages and realize just how much can happen in 7 days. From joy, to “how did we get here?!” to betrayal and death, to the ultimate example of love and sacrifice, to victory and the resurrection, truly, a lot can happen in 7 days.

– Joy
– Celebration
– Hosanna

www.bible.com/bible/116/MAT.27.27-31
– Pain
– Mocked
– Berated

www.bible.com/bible/116/JHN.19.16-42
– Betrayed
– Handed over to be crucified
– Sacrifice

www.bible.com/bible/116/LUK.24.1-12
– Death to life
– Victory
– “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” -Jesus

Prayer Requests
– Pray for Ruby (Lilydipper’s mother-in-law) as she just went into hospice. An incredible woman who is closer to being on her way home.

Ruck a lap around the park

THE THANG:
Ruck up some hills and back down them. fast-n-easy (Nate Votta) brought a child to carry. Just in general, its best to check with the Q for the day before bringing children. Also, the child was female? (ok, actually, it was an awkward 50# bag of sand).

We carried her around until Gmail dumped her into the AO parking lot.

About a 2.8 mile loop.

MARY: nah

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
There are some uncomfortable parts to the Psalms. However, we shouldn’t avoid thinking about them or trying to understand them.
Remembering these are important
the context of when and why Psalms were written
the “whole counsel of scripture” (i.e. Jesus’ teaching)
we should not attempt to edit the Psalms
