COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

8 HIM (2 pre-rucked)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When Ribbed asked me about my weekend this morning during the pre-ruck, I told him that “It was good, just not enough time to do nothing.” While this wasn’t going to originally be the focus of my BOM, that phrase churned in my mind throughout the workout. During the holiday season, many of us become busier and busier. Whether it is kid’s concerts at school, holiday parties with work or friends (shoutout to Judge Judy for welcoming us into his home this weekend, what an incredible evening!), shopping for presents, etc. We tend to go, go, go during this last half of December. I challenge you all to take time out of your day to do “nothing.” I don’t mean sit and stare at a wall nothing, but do something unscheduled, something without a deadline, something that makes you a better HIM. For me, I am committing to spending an extra 15 mins before heading out into the gloom this week, sitting in front of my lit Christmas tree, with my gas logs going, and spending some extra time in silent prayer.
