BTLN UPDATE

Another week is in the books! First off congrats to T-Square on his second Helmet in the last 4 weeks! T-Square is on a roll!

This week we played Handball. Early on it looked like my team was going to easily take the win but Joe and Ben's team stormed back to win 9-7. I think that my team let up a little and couldn't get it back.(Prevent defense anyone?)

In the Bible study this week we took a look at Jonathan in our continuing series "Entrust to Reliable Men". (1 Samuel 14:1-14, 19:1-7, 20:1-42, 23:15-18)
Jonathan was a Reliable friend and very trustworthy. Even though Jonathan knew that David was going to take his throne he was alright with it. Most men would not be ok with their best friend taking their inheritance! Not only was Jonathan ok with it but he also stood up for David when his dad (King Saul) wanted to kill David. Jonathan almost died because of his loyalty to David.(King Saul threw his spear at Jonathan.)

1 Samuel 23:15-18 While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that Saul had come out to take his life. And Saul’s son Jonathan went to David at Horesh and helped him find strength in God. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.” The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. Then Jonathan went home, but David remained at Horesh.

This is the kind of friend we all need! Jonathan helped David find strength in God! Jonathan knew God's will(regarding the kingdom of Israel)and he was going to follow it rather than fight it like his dad King Saul!

We ended the night with Bulldog and in the end it was Tristan outlasting Zach for his second Helmet of the season! Congrats Tristan!
