2. When Animals Attack @ Pool Paved Courtyard (FUN BUT 5 MINUTES IS A LONG TIME TO BEAR CRAWL)
5 mins – mark off an area (kill zone). All PAX remain in area at all times. One PAX (“the attacker” or “it”) starts in one corner, the other PAX in the other corner. Assume bear crawl position and stay there. The Attacker begins to chase his prey throughout the kill zone (in bear crawl mode). Once contact is made with PAX (“tag”), contacted PAX becomes the attacker, returns to his corner, and it starts over. Tweak the exercise with the size of the kill zone and the number of people.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes men don’t pay attention to many emotions – we named the big ones: anger and hunger (not really an emotion). But we often worry without knowing it – when we can’t influence/control/manipulate a situation to the outcomes we want, those things often roll around in our minds or become susceptible to triggers without our knowledge. This is worry. (It’s like the photo negative/evil twin of meditation – rolling something around in our mind.) A well-known scripture teaches us how to deal with this. Philippians 4:6-7 (The Passion Translation):

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,  then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

I mentioned a song from Maverick City – Jireh

MOLESKIN:
Praying for wisdom and discernment for a specific situation; Crazy coffeeteria at Dunkin: met a guy with a cool Malinois (Belgian security dog) just moved to Oak Ridge from San Diego that needs F3 (we’ll see if he shows up); a sobering T-bone car accident at the nearest intersection that could easily have killed both drivers, and a mom at Dunkin who thought her son was involved (same kind of car).
