COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 PAX came out in the rain and got better today
Vocals, Shoestring, Snookie, Cowbell, Houdini, Raven, Speaker, Bruce, Rabbit
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today’s word was on Listening. QIC admitted he has struggled with this a lot as of late and shared that men especially are often listening to answer, to fix or solve a problem instead of to actively hear and process what is being said. Active listening is extremely critical in all facets of our lives – at home with our wives and children, at work when you are in meetings and talking with your boss and co-workers, at church when you listening to the sermon.
James 1:19 says: “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath”
MOLESKIN:
Bruce was a bit late but after his past week, I am encouraged he was there! There was some confusion about the CMU on the Indian Run and for a bit it seemed some did not want it hence “hot potato”. There was much mumblechatter when the bear crawl inchworms were announced but the PAX finished strong. The goal for today was to do a simple, but effective beatdown and QIC believes that was accomplished
