In high school, I got straight A's, I was captain of the volleyball team, and even graduated valedictorian; Yet, I did all these things all by myself. I figured that other people would just slow me down, so I never put dependence on any of my friends.
In medium group today (i call my mark study group my medium group because its bigger than hedrick small group but smaller than catalyst large group) we studied the definition of faith. Let me add that the verb "studied" is a severe understatement of what we did. A part of faith that some Christians often miss is that it does not always reflect an individual's connection to Jesus, but also it reflects a person's dependence on their friends.
Mark specifically tells us that Jesus forgives the paralytic's sins because he saw the faith of the four men carrying the paralytic, not the paralytic himself.
And that, my friends, is what I learned in school today. Trust your friends; become vulnerable to them.
Oh and all of IV went bowling together as an application of the lesson. It was fun. This was my first time going bowling besides a time in elementary school when we had guard rails and ice cream. I bowled 131! Some call it beginner's luck, I call it natural skill.

PS. I try not to photoshop my pictures, but I mostly took video during January Jumpstart so I didn't really have any good artsy pictures, so I made them artsy. Ok goodnight, I have to wake up at 7:55 tomorrow for the last day of JJ. Boohoo.
