Well Spring break is here and if you are wondering we had decided to keep meeting during spring break. We had less guys than usual last night but we had fun anyway. The week before was Olympics and Jerrod and Paul ended up tied at the end of the night. We decided that they could each choose one event to redo and see if that could change things. Jerrod chose arm wrestling and came out on top in the match. Next they moved to Paul's pick which was the hockey shootout. I thought this was going to be over fast but after about 8 tries each there were still no goals. Around the 9th or 10th shot Jerrod snuck a weak shot under Ryan's arm to put the pressure on Paul, who Ryan promptly stoned. Jerrod becomes the champ for the 3rd time. Congrats!
This week everyone showed up in a daze or something no one was very energetic, so we decided that the best way to fix that was with a round of bulldog. We followed that up with another round of bulldog and then 3 rounds of bump, and then a third round of bulldog. Good times, I was getting tired by the end.
In bible study we read in James that we shouldn't show favouritism towards people based on how they dress, how they smell, how good looking they are or how famous they are. We talked about how God loves all people and how we are all his children whom he loves. We also noted that James includes in this paragraph a few sentences about living as though we were going to be judged by the law. Because of the grace of Jesus we don't have to be judged by the law which is a good thing because we would all be condemmed. Even something as simple as showing favouritism makes us a sinner.
As for the memory work, Simon and Lukas are at 101, and 104 points respectively. Stephen and Noah are the only others who have memorized verses, there is definitely still time for them to finish. Matt is working on his and he told me that by the end of spring break he thought he would be ready to say them all in one night. I am looking forward to that. We are still hoping that Jerrod will get to at least 1 point.
See ya next week.
