So this week we played the inaugural game of S*A*M, and it was amazing! S*A*M is Murderball in the dark! We purchased some murderballs that glow in the dark and glow sticks. We taped glow sticks to the floor at the center line and each guy had one taped to his non-throwing arm.(Two different colors for the two different teams.) Visually S*A*M is one of the best games that we play, it was awesome! S*A*M is one of those games like Mike that we will probably only play a couple times a year but it is one of those games that guys will look forward to. Good on ya Sam!
In Bible study Jeremy talked about God's incredible grace and how we can't earn it.
Ephesians 2:8,9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
Romans 4:4,5 - Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
He talked about how we are always trying to add something to Christ's finished work.
Galatians 3:3 - Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?
God has done it all for us, we just need to accept his perfect gift! Remember, Jesus said "It is finished"!
We left the glow sticks on the floor and on our arms so that we could play Bulldog in the dark! We left the doors open so that it wasn't as dangerous but still visually awesome! Guys didn't move quite as fast but it was still sweet! After the dust had cleared Owen had his first Helmet of the year! Congrats Owen!
After we were done at the gym the grade elevens, twelves and leaders all adjourned to the Station for a planning meeting and some food. There is always more food than planning but we expect that. Good times all around!
Next week is Winterslam!(This time for sure!) Remember Battalion is like Heaven, there is always room for one more! So bring a friend!
THE CAPTAIN
