Notes from October 14th

Hi parents and Brigadiers,
We spent a little time learning to shoot a basketball tonight though you guys may have been scratching your heads thinking, "what in the world are we doing?!" Well, there's a little method to my madness and what we did more than anything was to give you some easy drills to get a feel for the ball and good shooting form even though we never actually shot at a basket. It's all about control of the ball and our bodies. Lt. Anderson made a great point tonight about how shooting a basketball can illustrate what sin is. Sin is missing the mark and anyone who's ever shot the Bball knows what that's like. I even remember an exercise from one of the Stockade Blockhouses that used that example. So if sin is "missing the mark", then what is the "mark" to begin with? Well for that we look to the perfection of our great God and it's clear to any honest person that we just aren't going to make it on our own. And that's what's so amazing about God's grace. His only son takes what we deserve, for missing the mark, and we're seen as having hit the mark perfectly, like Jesus, when we trust Him as our Lord and Saviour. That's good news! I'll see you when I get back from my trip Lord willing.

Blessings,
Capt. Hayden
