CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Playing team sports can get us really competitive and make us feel like we need to beat the other team down. But out here the harder we work the more the other team benefits themselves by keeping up and working hard.

This should be the same in the rest of life. “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Says Paul in Ephesians 6:12 ESV. So whether it’s an apposing political party, or someone at work who seems to have it out for us, or a crazy family member, we need to fight for their benefit. The harder we work at making ourselves better, the more people around us will benefit.

We are all one body and need to work together to help one another

The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.
1 Corinthians 12:21‭-‬26 ESV

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word was mixed in with the beatdown. Focused on the 10th commandment in the BOM and how social media makes it easy for one to wish they had something someone else has.  That picture on social media is a moment in time that has others wishing they could be there, or have a life more like the person who posted it.  Don’t fall into that trap.
MOLESKIN:
Seeing how far the pax have come in a years time is a true blessing.  So many of our pax have lost weight, gained new friends, and have strengthen their relationship with God.

Thanks to Woodshack for the idea and providing all necessary equipment for this Q!

We played some modified hungry hungry hippo. There were four teams of 3 people (one team of 4) spread equidistant from the center.  Everyone did a wheelbarrow to the center and grabbed 4 tennis balls to throw back to their cone, then completed the wheelbarrow back. The whole team did 20 reps of each exercise on the tennis balls (15 reps if you got the orange tennis ball) and then returned the tennis balls to the center and repeated. While doing the wheelbarrow, the other member of the teams would hold Al Gore or a plank.

There were 21 tennis balls with different exercises on them and two orange tennis balls that were 15 bodybuilders. Each team got the orange balls at least twice.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Catholics have mass every day of the year and therefore have specific Bible readings every day of the year. Here is the Gospel for this morning:

Luke 15:1-10

The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So Jesus addressed this parable to them. ‘What man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he finds it? And when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and, upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

Or what woman having ten coins and losing one would not light a lamp and sweep the house, searching carefully until she finds it? And when she does find it, she calls together her friends and neighbors and says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found the coin that I lost.’ In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

These passages also remind me of the prodigal son. You see, we all want recognition and it makes us feel good when we are celebrated and told that we are doing a good job. But if we are not careful, we start to get jealous, just as the son who stayed with his father. If we think of the sheep in the passage above as humans, do you think that none of the 99 would be jealous? They did what they were supposed to do, but this other sheep that went off and got lost is getting a party because it came back.

The Bible also tells us that the man who puts money in the collection basket when everyone is watching him and making sure that they know he is contributing has his reward. That feeling he gets from the admiration of others is his reward. We must remember that our reward is in Heaven, and we must rejoice when one of our lost brothers or sisters comes back into communion with us. We should be the ones organizing the party, not the ones getting jealous because someone who was lost is getting that recognition.
