Partnering to Make ‘Merica’ Great Again

10 PAX slayed the fartsack and gathered in the gloom at BOHICA on this relatively mild Florida morning. The PAX were introduced to new ways to display their A‘merkin’ pride during this beatdown. They quickly discovered that they would need some help from a partner in order to get through these exercises.

COT

During his morning prayers, YHC was inspired to share a reading from 1 Peter 4:8-11. In this passage we are encouraged to use the gifts of God in order to give Him glory and praise. YHC compared this to the sense of joy we receive when we see someone wear a shirt we gave them as a gift; or when a child plays with a toy that we gave to them as a gift. So, too, does the Lord rejoice when we use the gifts he has given us through our talents/skills. We should use these gifts to help those around us. In doing so, we glorify the Lord.
