Team

Friends of Team Journey,

Lets meet again Saturday at 7 AM at the Dog Park lot south of Mockingbird near West Lawther. Depending on the distances everyone wants to run, we'll either run a lake loop or we can run an out-and-back on the White Rock trail for variety. We'll decide then and make sure everyone has someone to run with. We hope you can join us.

I do hope that everyone gets a chance to come out now that the weather is getting better. Also, don't forget that we spring forward on Sunday so we'll back to running to the sunrise at 7 soon.

For those of you that haven't run with us yet, I thought I'd try to give you a little taste of the seasoning we try to add to our conversations on the trail. Last week I thought we had a really good discussion about how Team Journey dovetails so well with the Wheel Illustration.

For those that aren't hip to the Wheel, its a simple picture tool that the Navigators use in their equipping ministry. (I'd attach a picture but I can't figure out how to do it - so I'll just have to describe it.) At the center of the wheel is CHRIST. There are 4 spokes each at 90 degrees. The two vertical spokes are PRAYER and THE WORD. The two horizontal spokes are WITNESSING and FELLOWSHIP. Around the rim of the wheel are the words "THE OBEDIENT CHRISTIAN IN ACTION." In Navigator terms, "The key to living a victorious, Spirit-filled Christian life is Jesus Christ as the Center and Lord of all we do. With Christ in control, life is balanced and effective. The Wheel illustrates this Christ-centered life."

The team aspects of Team Journey move us forward in witnessing and fellowship. And, if we incorporate prayer and scripture into our time running together, I feel like we can truly move the power of Christ into our lives.

And you thought you were just burnin' calories . . .
