NOVEMBER, A MONTH IN REVIEW

 

The 2009/10 Battalion 3739 season is nearly half over already! Time flies when you are having fun! November began with Battalion Headquarters (this blog) reaching 30,000 hits! I am excited about the support that Battalion receives, especially from the Alumni, it is very encouraging! Later in the month we gave away two D.Q. gift certificates for bringing five friends, we played stickball, handball and murderball and had a least one random Bible check. Btln 3739 ended the month with a bang as we finished with the 15th Btln Olympics.
Battalion 3739, more fun than you can handle on your own, so share it with a friend!

P-DUB

 

After a big night like the Btln Olympics I always think back to the preparation involved and how we could do it better next time. The first time we did The Royal Rumble their was a lot of preparation and a ton of expectation. It is the one night that sticks out when I think about beating expectations. This had me thinking about how God is always prepared and how he always beats expectations!

1Corinthians 2:9 - However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"

You know for sure that when God does something he doesn't forget anything or have to look back to see what he could have done better! The things God is going to do for us are so good that only God could think of them! What an amazing God!

Ephesians 3:20,21 - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

WINSTON STANDINGS

 

Three weeks ago Sam had a comfortable lead and all of a sudden we have ourselves a race! Zach, Chris and Dalton have all picked up a Helmet to tighten up the race. The Helmet wins seem to be harder to get in the second half, so get them early!

WINSTON STANDINGS(AFTER TWELVE WEEKS)
SAM SCHIESSER - 4 Helmets and 1 Major
ZACH GOBBETT - 3 Helmets and 1 Major
CHRIS HENDERSON - 2 Helmets
DALTON SHORE - 2 Helmets
ZANE LAWSON - 1 Helmet

THE CAPTAIN

15TH BATTALION OLYMPICS

 

 

 

Once again the Btln Olympics live up to the hype! Like every other Olympics from the past there were many different lead changes throughout the night. At least twice during the night I was told that someone had a big lead and that it was probably over. After the night was over it was interesting to look at the numbers and realize that it came down three or four games. Four guys ended within two points of the winner. In the end it was one of the closest finishes we have ever had. Congratulations to Zach Gobbett, the new Btln Olympic Champion! Zach is in grade ten and is the youngest Champion we have ever had. In the past the winner has always been in grade eleven or grade twelve. This begs the question, can Zach become the first three time Champion?
