Battalion in 2010 Night 1

well since Lance is asleep at the wheel i thought i would post about the FIRST BATTALION OF 2010!!! Its always a treat to be able to attend a regular night!

Well the night started off with guys hanging out, shooting hoops, and dressing up from the latest lost and found, which i find very amusing haha!

Once we lined up Lance shared some news about the new year and what guys can expect (see earlier post on what to expect) and our Sargent from 2007 Jason Hayashi received his Sargent Jersey!!! this means that next year me and whoever the sarg is next year will get a jersey! im stoked they are pretty rad!

we then broke up into our groups and went into some stories of the Old Testament that showed God Greatness-Read Genesis 1:1-2, Genesis 7:13-20, Exodus 14:21-22, Judges 16:26-30, 1 Samuel 17:4-7, 14, 41-51. after reading we listed some ways that God is great not only through the Bible but in our lives today as well!

next up was the battalion fan favorite MURDERBALL! i had played murderball on the 27th with a lot of guys older than me but i have to say that murderball was not that much easier playing the boys last night! we had Lance, Charlie, Mike, David, and I on one team. Jeremy, Devin, Jason, and Zach were on the other! (as far as alumni goes i think that was everyone!) the first game we smoked jers team, but then every game after that the wins went back and forth ending with Lances team ahead! the games for the most part were very even which was sweet! Player of the game definitely goes to Charlie Langis, the man was on fire!

After that we headed down to the room and discussed God's greatness. I was blessed to be able to lead the guys in a short study on God's greatness and challenged everyone to really take to heart the greatest thing God has ever done (i would argue anyway) which was sending his son to die for us!-Luke 2:1-20, Matthew 27:27-31

We then ended with a good ol game of Bulldog having Stephen start in the middle! after some time he finally got enough guys to get us all down! ending with our very own Sargent Sammy Jepsen! nice work Zej keep up the good work bro! Underdog goes to Zach "ATTACK" Gobbet, who could have taken me down if i was not ready for him!

we then made our way down to A&W shared some food and laughs. a great way to end a great night! thanks again to lance and jer for heading the night up and working hard, it is appreciated! it was great to be able to make it to the first night of 2010, cant wait to see how the rest of the year goes!
