Congrats Nate! Nate has been so close to winning so many times this year, that it was just a matter of time before he would win the Helmet! Nate is extremely tough to take down in Bulldog! It takes more than one guy to take him down! He apparently sacrificed his new Btln shirt for the win!
Mike Night is always exciting, it is one of most anticipated nights of the year at Btln! At the beginning Ben and Noah's team had this dance/stare down thing going on. It was awesome! (Think Maori warrior haka dance that the New Zealand rugby team does before each game that they play.) Lukas' team and Ben and Noah's team were battling it out all night. Nathan's team and Nate's teams were fighting for the bronze. Early on Lukas' team had a five point lead that would slowly disappear. In the end the scores tightened up, making for a close finish!
Mike Night final scores
Ben and Noah's team - 37
Lukas' team - 35
Nate's team - 32
Nathan's (the beard) team - 31
In Bible study our topic was "Contentment and Thankfulness".
1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
Can you imagine being content with just food and clothing? If that is all that we should need to be content, then we here in Canada have a lot to be thankful for! I think that true contentment leads to thankfulness.
Ephesians 5:19b-20 Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
God has done so much for us! We have so many things that we can be thankful for! If contentment leads to thankfulness then I think that thankfulness will naturally lead to generosity!
2 Corinthians 9:7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Lastly, our generosity will lead to thankfulness!
2 Corinthians 9:11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
If we are generous then those that we help will be thankful to God! God will use our generosity to help other people be thankful!
Thanks to Ben for the Mike Night pics! Love the grainy pics! (They have an artsy feel to them!)
THE CAPTAIN
