Can we move forward?

What is holding you back?

As an open-ended question, it might seem significant. There are a lot of reasons for not moving forward.

“I just got stuck.”

“The light is still red.”

“I stayed still long enough; my muscles just don’t work the same.”

“It is easier to not move.”

The Mayo Clinic shared that sitting too much leads to terrible consequences.

Extended sitting has been linked to obesity. It also has been linked to a cluster of conditions that make up metabolic syndrome. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and unhealthy cholesterol levels.

Too much sitting overall also seems to raise the risk of death from heart disease and cancer.

We have all been waiting for the next shoe to drop in our Scouting relationships. There was the bankruptcy, Covid, for Methodists: a church split, and a general question on how to make things work. There are still some challenges.

But we cannot sit still any longer. To remain unengaged is to take on a slow death.

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on May 13th in favor of the Scouting Plan.

The light is green. We don’t have to be stuck anymore. It might take extra effort to be engaged again, but the alternative is untenable.

Realize the movement that is Scouting is a reflection of the commitment to ministry.

Besides, as Dr. Edward Laskowski at Mayo says, “Movement of all types can have a great impact on your health.”

This movement, the Scouting movement, has incredibly positive impacts on the church’s health.

Gett moving!
