This was an anniversary co-Q for Pdubs (1yr) and Meter (2yr). It’s a hot and busy summer, and the Lexington community is seeing significant growth in all areas. With banks doling out loans like Pelican’s does snowballs, and water meters turning like Shine and Elsie’s fidget spinners, we saw an opportunity to apply a little financial exercise for the pax to enjoy.

The thang
Grab a block from the pile and drop it at the nearest goal line.
Circle up (Meter calls the warmup)
SSH IC – we lost count as Drisoket pulled up in his service truck up by the block pile and staked the CAT flag like it was on a hill at Iwo Jima. Out of respect for this impressive entrance, YHC may have impulsively started to welcome Drisoket… in cadence.

Devotional
In John 4:7-27, a woman from Samaria comes to a well and meets Jesus who speaks to her about water. At a place where physical water is drawn, Jesus invites the woman to consider spiritual water – faith in Christ. Jesus works hard to create a moment, a moment of transition, a moment of salvation. She is ready. She says in vs. 15, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty…” It was a powerful moment. All Jesus had to do was finish by inviting her to trust in Him. Instead He says, in vs. 16, “Go call your husband and come back.” He knew she had been through five husbands and was living with a man who was not her husband. Why did He have to go there, at such a time? Leave the mess for later. It seems in Jesus’ response there is a lesson for us all. Leave behind the need to please everyone. The need to please not only blinds you to God’s offer of rest, it confuses others about God’s offer of life. Your being real with others, will help them understand that something has, to die, so that something better can live. When we leave behind the need to please, we raise the bar on our discipleship.
