BTLN UPDATE



Congrats Lukas! Lukas won the Helmet for the sixth time this year! With four weeks left to go Lukas has a 2 Helmet lead in the race for Winston! Jonathan and Lukas were there at the end, Lukas outlasting Jonathan for the win.

This week we played S*A*M. I think it could also be called T*R*O*N. I am not about to change the name of any of the games that we play, but all of the glow sticks and glow in the dark Murderballs that we use for S*A*M remind me a lot of Tron. S*A*M is visually awesome. It is always better than how I remembered it. For the first time this year I was on Ben's team. Apparently we are a deadly combo. Ben's team beat Jason's team 3 times in a row!  I guess I will have to split us up next time.

In Bible study this week our topic was "Friends".

Proverbs 13:20   Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

If we spend time most of our time with people who are making good choices then we will also make good choices. If we spend most of our time with those that are making bad decisions then we will have trouble.

Proverbs 1:7   The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Who is wise? Those that fear the Lord!

Psalm 119:63-64   I am a friend to all who fear you, to all who follow your precepts. The earth is filled with your love, Lord; teach me your decrees.

We need to be a friend of all those that fear God. This does not mean that we should not be a friend of those that have not yet accepted God's forgiveness. After all, Jesus was called a friend of sinners.

Galatians 6:10   Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

This passage sums up how we should treat others and how we should spend our time. We need to do good (or spend our time with) to all people, especially those that belong to the family of God.

John 15:13   Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

We have been left on this earth to tell people about what our best friend did for us! Jesus showed the greatest outpouring of love possible when he died for our sins!


Battalion will resume after spring break. April 8th at the high school field for Football and Pop N Dogs! (6:30-8:30 p.m.) Drop off and pick up will both be at the high school field.


THE CAPTAIN
