BTLN UPDATE

 

 

 

Week 25 of the 2010/11 season is in the books! This week tried the Btln Trifecta again. We started with Handball and it didn't take long for team Chris(The King)(He had Geoff, Joe and Charles on his team.)to beat up on team Zach.(He had Ryley and the Captain on his team.) In Murderball it was a different story. Team Zach won games 1 and 2 and lost games 3 and 4.(Game 4 was a marathon it seemed to last forever, it was amazing!)Game 5 was over quickly, team Zach taking the win.(We didn't have time for Extreme Bulldog, the third leg of the Trifecta.)
In Bible study we looked at the parable of the Good Samaritan.(Luke 10:25-37) An expert in the law asked Jesus "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus' response was "What is written in the Law?" (We should go to God's word for answers. Jesus always did!)The Expert in the Law answered:

Luke 10:27 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind"; and, "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Jesus was trying to show this expert that he needed help just like the man that was robbed in the parable. We are all helpless without God. Jesus was and is the only man to ever love God and his neighbor with all of his heart, soul, strength and mind. Without him it is not possible to love like he does. With his help we can love like this:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8b Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

We finished the night the way we always finish the night, with Bulldog! Chris started in the middle and with all of the bigger guys(Geoff, Joe and Charles.) making lanes for the smaller guys it took some time for Chris to finish us off. In the end it was Zach winning his fourth Helmet of the year! Congrats Zach!

It was good to have Geoff Martens(Sergeant 1989)join us for one night. We will have a "Meet the Btln Nation" with Geoff coming soon!
