The Mystery of Time

”For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
– a time to be born, and a time to die;
– a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
– a time to kill, and a time to heal;
– a time to break down, and a time to build up;
– a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
– a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
– a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
– a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
– a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
– a time to tear, and a time to sew;
– a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
– a time to love, and a time to hate;
– a time for war, and a time for peace.“
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

COT: Jeremiah chapter 18
www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jeremiah-18-1.htmlhttps://www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jeremiah-18-2.htmlhttps://www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jeremiah-18-3.htmlhttps://www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jer…
www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jeremiah-18-5.htmlhttps://www.bibleref.com/Jeremiah/18/Jeremiah-18-6.html

A few weeks or months ago Lillydipper talked about the Potter’s house in his Word. And I remember at the end of it he prayed that the Lord would shape him into a form that was pleasing to the Heavenly Father.

But what good are shapes, even perfectly formed, if they don’t have a purpose? What good is a quill if it doesn’t have ink to write? Or a sweater that is perfect in shape but made out of gossamer thread that doesn’t keep you warm? I think a shape or form that is pleasing to our Lord’s eyes, would be someone that spreads joy and love, inspires others, sets an example that others can follow.

And if that’s the case, Then the Big Man Upstairs really knocked it out of the park when he formed good ol’ Lillydipper on that Potter’s Wheel up in the sky. How many times has he picked up the Q on short notice? Been an example of perseverance during his many… many… rehab stints? Kept us positive and amused with his stories? Inspired us with his Words?

I don’t claim to have any inside knowledge of the Sky Q’s ways, or thoughts… but I would bet my bottom dollar that when Lillydipper came off that potter’s wheel, instead of packing it back in a lump and trying again, the Lord nodded at his work, smiled and said: “Well… besides giving this fellow a bad hip… and a bad knee. And another bad knee. And a bad shoulder. And another bad hip. This one is not bad… not bad at all.”

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

– Betrayed
– Handed over to be crucified
– Sacrifice

www.bible.com/bible/116/LUK.24.1-12

– 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.

No Child Left Behind

AO: thequacken
Q: FixerUpper
PAX: Z-Pack, fast-n-easy (Nate Votta), Lizzy, Gmail, Gordie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
WARMUP:
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:
Smokies Convergence tomorrow at SoKno (South Doyle HS)

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
