BTLN UPDATE

 

Congrats to Luke on his first ever Helmet! How was that Yorkie? Chocolate never tasted better right? Earlier in the night Luke told me, "I'm going to win Bulldog one of these times" little did he realize it would be that night!
This week Mike 23 was on the agenda. Mike 23 is a blast to watch,(Thanks Mike!)(I wish that I had remembered to take some pictures.) there are balls flying everywhere! The scores jump around a lot, we use the larger murderballs(1 point), the large exercise balls(2 & 3 points) and a Zorb(10 points). Jeremy tried to get Joe's team and Aaron's team to help him defeat Ben's team.(Why are they all scared of Ben?) Ben's team was loosing bad until we introduced the Zorb to the game, then when the other three teams were fighting for the Zorb Ben got his team to collect all of the other balls! (It was brilliant!) By the time the other teams realized what was going on it was to late, the round was over. Ben's team battled back but it wasn't enough as the game ended. The final scores were,

Jeremy's team - 20
Ben's team - 19
Aaron's team - 10
Joe's team - 4

This week in the Bible study we had a look at Isaac in our continuing series "Entrust to Reliable Men".
(Genesis 26:1-6 & 26:12-30) Isaac was living in the land of the Philistines. The Philistines became jealous of Isaac's wealth and power. The Philistines filled in Isaac's wells and stole the other wells that he had dug. They also asked him to move away. Finally the Philistines came to him,

Genesis 26:26-30 Meanwhile, Abimelech had come to him(Isaac) from Gerar. Isaac asked him, "Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?" He answered, "We saw clearly that the Lord was with you; so we said, "There ought to be a sworn agreement between us" -between us and you. Let us make a treaty with you that you will do us no harm, just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away in peace. And now you are blessed by the Lord." Then Isaac sent them on their way, and they left him in peace.

Can you imagine it? They said "We saw clearly that the Lord was with you." Will people say the same thing about us? It would be amazing if people would look at us and say "Clearly the Lord is with you!"
Because of the way Isaac treated the Philistines, his life became a witness that God was working in his life!

Bulldog was quick this week, Jordan was in the middle and he was picking off all of the bigger guys. It was impressive! In the end it was between Luke and Stevie. It looked like Stevie was going to win and then Luke got a final surge forward that moved him past Stevie's forward progress! Congrats Luke!

Battalion 3739, so much fun you can't handle it on your own! So share it with a friend!
