COT
Talked about adaptability and its presence in the Bible. It is important to set goals and plans for each and every day. However, many times our days don’t turn out much like we planned. God’s plan for us is often so different than our plan for us. It is important to be adaptable and use these times of change to build patience and wisdom.
The story from Matthew 14 portrays a time in which Jesus’ day did not go as planned. When Herod killed John the Baptist, Jesus was full of sorrow. He went out to a remote location to pray and be alone for the remainder of that day. The crowds however followed him out and thus, his plan of being alone was no longer a reality. Instead of being frustrated or stressed, Jesus used this change in his plans for good. He healed many sick amongst the people because of their faith to follow him out to the remote place. Additionally, he performed one of the greatest miracles in showing his disciples how to feed 5,000 men off of a very meager portion to start with. This day is spoken of and remembered fondly by millions across the World. All of this because Jesus allowed God’s plans to shine through on what started as a bad day. Being adaptable can bring you inner peace in knowing that God is always with you.
Moleskin
Certain PAX mentioned that the beatdown was stupid on multiple occasions. Q was a real jerk with this one!
About 30 minutes into the beatdown, one PAX noted that the MC was as minimal as he could remember in recent time due to the lack of being able to catch our breath.
You only get wet once! Also, pavilions come in handy on days like this.
