I have always been fascinated by Navy Seals and Special Forces and the incredibly intense training they have to endure, including a final 5 day period without any sleep. From what I’ve heard, they hold telephone poles above their heads, along with other teammates, for lengthy periods of time, and they actually drown and are then resuscitated. It’s really a maximum and very extreme test of the human spirit. It’s amazing all that can be endured.
We had a Navy Seal at a Men’s Conference years ago who told us that during his final week, they issued everyone a little dog to take care of along with all their other responsibilities that week. He said the dogs were very cute, but actually a nuisance because of everything else that was transpiring with their training. On the 4
th day, they were all given the assignment of
taking their little doggies and snapping their precious little necks as part of the training! After 1400 men collectively gasped, he said HE WAS JUST KIDDING!
King David was told he would never be able to overcome the Jebusites who lived in Jerusalem, but he conquered the stronghold through the help of his mighty men who functioned as Navy Seals, who apparently swam up the Gihon Spring that passed through a hewn channel that flowed into a fortified pool. I recently viewed this pool which, though dry now, was at the time the city’s only water source. It was 50 feet deep. David told a few of his Navy Seals to swim up from the bottom of this pool and enter the city through the water tunnel. These guys then went and opened up the city gates for the other warriors to come through. You can read more about this in 2 Samuel 5:8, and we’ll cover this story in this week’s homily—sermon—talk—whatever it’s called!
Blessings,
Randy & Pam

YOUR MARRIAGE...

WOMEN’S & MEN’S MINISTRIES TOGETHER…
will analyze Dr. Caroline Leaf’s formidable Bible Study,
“The Perfect You; a Blueprint for Identity” beginning
Wednesday, March 6 thru May 29th at 7pm in the
Fellowship Hall. Seven steps will be presented to
rediscover and unlock your unique “you quotient” - the
brilliantly original way each person thinks, feels, relates,
and makes choices—freeing you from comparison, envy,
and jealousy. You’ll learn to be aware of what’s going on
in your mind and body, to lean into your experience rather
than trying to forcefully change it, and to redefine what
success means to you. You’ll embrace your true identity
and develop a clear sense of divine purpose in your life.
Don’t miss it!
