Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo:  Referencing the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, YHC shared with the PAX that we are all entombed in our sin and shame. Jesus calls us forward into the light. We can’t save ourselves, it is only by His power and His grace. Let’s not stay in our sinful shape, humbly allow Him to rescue us.

Moleskin:  The path to Huger Park and back is a memorable one for YHC. I took a group of PAX on that path on my first Q a little over four years ago. After a long layoff, this seemed like a good route on which to lead the PAX today. The PAX worked hard, college football mumble chatter was present, and everyone left better for being out this morning. Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

Psalm 139 – no matter what God is there. Bad day? He’s there. Great day? He’s there. You’re pissed off and want to tell Him? He’s there to listen. Concerned about (fill in the blank)? He’s there. 

 

Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and nodoing partner work. This was a variation from another wienke I had for St. Patrick’s Day, that allows everyone to go at their own pace and choose their own destiny.. It started as a Chadwick Boseman themed work out, but that was tricky, so we broadened it to the Avengers. Glad to see good numbers at my favorite BC AO. Welcome, FNG Baby Fat.

Devo: Mark Batterson’s “Play the Man” Bible App

Be a Man in Your Relationship with God

There is a clear difference between men and children. Children avoid pain. Men understand pain is often necessary for growth. Children look to blame others. Men take responsibility for their actions. Children look out for themselves. Men look out for their families and friends. Choose to be a man today.

Practical Steps

  1. Today, do one act that shows you choose to put others before yourself – whether that means giving your wife a back rub after you’ve had a long day, going out of your way to help a friend, or even just lending an ear to someone when it may feel inconvenient to do so.

Moleskin:  “That was stupid” Milton’s comment on trying to bear crawl the entire short side of the AO, only to stop halfway then crabwalk as a substitute. It’s much farther than it looks…

  • Weather: Humid and light drizzle, 75 degrees

Warm Up: waiting for 5am start

Thang: one main group ran the Milton Route. Others ran the Bridge Route or Sigma Drive 5k

it was off and on drizzle for the Pax as conversation stayed in the core Milton Route group. Schrute ran out of gas a mile and a half from finish as his ambition was bigger than his conditioning after running a SCS with City and Ice box for 4 miles at 4AM

numberama: 13

COT: light conversation  and fellowship as everyone melted back into the early morning to take on the day. Back blast is a connection to the weekly reliability of the Creamer. The days of gathering at the indoor or outdoor tables are a distant memory but the Friday and Sunday mornings in the parking lot still brovide (play on words provide) fellowship and  opportunity to reflect on the week that ended.
