For some reason 7 men decided to leave the comfort of their nice bed to stand out in the gloom and work out for 45 minutes, what is the purpose of this? This opened our morning discussion on purpose. You got up and entered the gloom to get better, so don’t cheat yourself, give it all you have.  Disclaimer given and we’re off.

Announcements – Christmas party, CAH this Saturday, Joe Davis Jan 9

Prayers for the fellow Pax that are on the mend, hoping they will be back out with us soon

A little more talk about purpose: What do we do when our purpose and God’s purpose for us don’t line up? Been reading Jonah the last few weeks so I’ve been struck with this question and how I would or will respond? Am I willing to drop my own ideas, plans, goals for God’s plans for me? Do I really trust Him enough to believe that His plans are better than my plans? His Purpose better than my purpose?  Will I get on the boat and follow Him or will I run in the opposite direction?
