Restocked the CMUs and did high knees, rockettes, karaoke (both sides), and jogged back to AO

MARY:

Time for modified Howler Circle (PAX does non-stop monkey humpers while we rotate one at a time taking a lap around the circle – friendly “pats” on rears may have occurred)

Finished with Hello Dollies, Pickle Pounders, and Dead Bugs.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

6 well seasoned HIMs present – no FNGs

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflected a bit on my up and down year of leading well at times and failing other times (more lazy than missing while trying).  Many opportunities to lead in our homes, work, church, and community.  Sometimes we pull back for fear of failure or the sting of memories from recent failures.  2 Peter 1 we read that the Lord has given us everything we need for life and godliness – for His glory and excellence – and therefore we have no excuse to “not try”.  We need to pursue the model of Jesus described in Philippians 2 where His attitude was right before any actions took place.  With humility we should try and try again and trust the Lord for the results.  Read an excerpt from Q source 4.5 talking about the tool of failure in carving out Virtuous Leaders.  Failure will happen… especially if we try to do difficult things… but we should not give up and we should get up and try again.
