With the lower numbers at Btln the times are a changing, this gives us the chance to do things that we haven't been able to do for a while. This week we played floor hockey for the first time in years! Like any other game at Btln it just seemed like we needed to tweak it to make it ours. Floor hockey with two balls is crazy, it had me feeling like a dog chasing it's tail. It is something we will definitely do again!(My team won 11-9!)
This week in the Bible study we looked at two stories. Jesus feeding the five thousand(Mark 6:32-44, Matthew 14:31-21, Luke 9:10-17, John 6:5-13) and Jesus feeding the four thousand(Mark 8:1-9, Matthew 15:32-39).
Mark 6:34 - When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
Mark 8:2,3 - "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."
Jesus not only has compassion on us because of our spiritual condition, but he is also concerned about our physical needs as well!
Mark 8:4 - His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"
Isn't it amazing that after watching Jesus feed five thousand men that his disciples would question that he could feed four thousand men? The truth is we wouldn't have been any different. It is comforting to know that Jesus didn't give up on his disciples and that he won't give up on us either!
Dalton started in the middle for Bulldog and with the lower numbers there is more room out there almost making it more difficult for the guy in the middle. In the end it was down to Cody and Zach with Zach pulling out his third Helmet of the year! Congrats Zach! There is a huge log jam in the Winston Standings it looks a lot like the Western Conference Standings in the NHL!
Next week is the 16th Annual Btln Ping Pong Tourney! Come early and bring a friend!
THE CAPTAIN
