COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 lunatics started the year off right.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
John 8:12 Jesus states who He is and the Pharisees say he is lying. Jesus was seen as a lier, a lunatic, or the Lord. We face the same denial or acceptance within our society today. How will you place Jesus in your life going into this year? Will He be a historical figure, a nice guy, or Lord? Remember where He sits and that He is coming back.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 players in the game this morning, no FNGs
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Playing the game this morning was a little bit like our Christian walk… Everyone read the cards and followed the instructions, but I was also there alongside, and I knew exactly where we were going and what was coming next.  For real life, we have written instruction that we can follow to the best of our ability, but we also have the Holy Spirit within us, walking with us.  He knows the beginning, middle, and end. He knows what’s written on all your cards because He wrote them.  And they’re for our good, because He loves us.  Sometimes it’s difficult, but we need to make the choice daily to trust Him.
MOLESKIN:
Fun morning getting to work with these men! Worked hard playing hard!
