COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Me and 8 of the best men I know
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The workout and Word were inspired by something that Erector said when he led two weeks ago. He repeated a workout from a year or so ago and had to modify toward then end and stack more on us because we were finishing too fast. He said, “I’m not sure if the group has gotten stronger…or if I was just more efficient with explaining the workout.” We repeated the Air Force PT test that we did 6 months ago – to measure whether the group is, in fact, getting stronger/faster.
Unless you currently are recovering from an injury, I hope you are getting steadily stronger and faster. More than that, I hope you are applying the wisdom that you hear in the BOM and seeing positive impacts in your life. Fitness and wisdom will not happen overnight. I’m reminded of something Mathlete said a few weeks ago about our progress being like an ascending spiral. All these different facets of me are getting better as I make steady improvement.
- …a little stronger…
- …a little more graceful toward those I disagree with…
- …a little less selfish…
- …a little faster…
- …a little more engaged with my loved ones…
- …a little more intentional in my fathering…
- …faith that is not just in the head and heart, but in actions…
None of these happen by accident. They happen only when you do the hard work of applying yourself toward them. If even a tenth of what you hear in the BOM is taking root in your life, what a man you will be!
A pair of quotes for you;
- “Well done is better than well said.” – Benjamin Franklin
- “Pay less attention to what men say. Just watch what they do.” – Dale Carnegie
From Scripture;
“But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. …if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.” James 1:22-25
“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? …faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” James 2:14, 17
“All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.” Proverbs 14:23
“Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me.” Philippians 4:9
