Introduction

It was a long night of some pretty scary storms so to the PAX surprise when they arrived to our new Colosseum flag location the every light in the building & parking lot was out.  The men checked on each other & stories were told of neighbors & friends along with our very own Disco Ball losing a tree almost crushing his new fence. After a quick safety check the men got to work.  We adapted along the way dealing with the soggy conditions & everything was going well until “POP” the sound of Toby’s hamstring exploding after 40 yard sprints.  We got everybody back to MARY in one piece & Toby powered through but my friend is going to need some ice & massages over the next couple weeks!!

CoT:

Ironic this morning that the lights were out & we had some wet field conditions to work through on the baseball diamond & skate park b/c today’s message is about adaptability b/c that is exactly what we had to do.  Here is a quote I found, “The most successful people are those who accept, & adapt to constant change.  This adaptability requires a degree of flexibility & humility most people can’t manage.”  Things did not work out perfectly at Settler’s Park & we had to show some humility & be adaptable which brings us here today.  Through that adaptability I believe we have made ourselves stronger & shown strength in humility.  Not everything is going to go your way in life, especially in todays world, but if you are someone that can embrace that change & be adaptable you can thrive in this world.  Aye!

Dear lord, thank you for this opportunity to wake up early in the gloom & experience your greatness.  We are humbled for the opportunity you give us every day to be in your glory & serve you as leaders in our communities.  Watch over those in our spoken prayers as well as those that are in our hearts that are not as fortunate as many of us & give them healing & strength in their struggles.  In your name we pray.  Amen!
