What a night! (Do I start posts this way to often?) Sam Jepsen(2010 Btln 3739 Sergeant)and a couple of his friends from Briercrest made a special appearance on Wednesday night! Love it when the Alumni can make it out on a Wednesday night! (Gumby also made an appearance!)
We started the night with a big game(20-25 guys?) of Bump. J-man took out nearly half of the guys and the victory!
The Btln Trifecta was on the agenda again this week! We started with Murderball. Ben's team took the first two games easily getting the win in Murderball. Next was Handball. J-Man's team was down 4-1 early but fought back to tie it up at 5-5! Ben's team was able to regain the momentum and would not be denied taking the win 7-5 and the Trifecta 2-0!
In Bible study this week we took a look into Jacob's life in our continuing series "The History of the World" or "His Story". (Genesis 25:19-34, Genesis 27:1-40)
It is interesting to look at the way Jacob's story starts.
Genesis 25:29-34 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished. He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.) Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.” “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?” But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
At first Jacob was the kind of man that would take advantage of others. He bought his brothers birthright for a bowl of stew! Next Jacob goes a step further and he lies to his father Isaac so that he can steal Esau's blessing!
God is not pleased with Jacob but he does not give up on him! Shortly after Jacob stole Esau's blessing this is what God tells Jacob.
Genesis 28:13-15 “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
God still had a plan for Jacob's life! God knew that Jacob would serve him and become a great man!
1 Samuel 16:7b The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
God will not give up on us! God has big plans for our lives! We only need to serve him and let him fulfill his plans for us!
We finished the night the same way we always do! With Bulldog! John Van was our winner outlasting everyone to take his first Helmet of the year! Congrats John!
Apparently only Mitch saw 70,000 visitors and he doesn't have proof so we will have to do it all over again at 71,000!
Pizza and S*A*M* next week!
THE CAPTAIN
