COT: ”But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.“
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As men, so many times we get stuck “in routine” or “on brand”. We plateau in some area of our lives and that’s where we stay.
Can’t lose that extra 10 lbs
Can’t get that promotion
Can’t connect with my spouse/girlfriend the way I should

But one major aspect I think we miss is changing so we can get those things. To add the missing components to break through that barrier.

It’s the same spiritually. Our text talks about adding things to continue to grow and not to stagnate.

That’s why we do things like F3.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:

Mark 1:35
– On the heels of beginning His ministry (healing many the night before), Jesus got up before the day began, went to a desolate place, and prayed.
– With his ministry starting, excitement, much productivity to be had, he left to spend time with His Father. His most productive time.
– When is the last time we’ve went away to be alone with Jesus? Do we have regular times we schedule to pursue the Lord in this way?

Why? BeCauseway.

AO: the-farm
Q: Waxjob
PAX: I-Beam, Waxjob, Monstar, Mayberry
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
A balmy 40 degree morning with a light chill breeze. Mayberry blessed with the Meat Sweats, so we were prepared for him to Elvis at any moment, but he persevered.
WARMUP:
SSH x15 IC
2x Burpees
5x Cherry Pickers
8x Trunk Twist
2x Burpees
15x LBAC each way
10x Tempo Squats

THE THANG:
Briefest of Moseys over to the Toaster to grab some toys. CMUs all around except for Mayberry whose hands are too soft to handle the rough, abrasive concrete surface, so he grabbed his weight plate.

Mall walk the long way to the base of the Causeway, pausing for 20x weighted BBS about halfway.

We have one cardboard at each end of the causeway, each with 6 exercises. One pax at the top, one at the bottom and one in transition at all times.

TOP:
OHP
Curls
Tri Ext
Squat thrust
Lawn Mowers
Alpos

BOTTOM:
Up/Over Merkins
Twist Lunge
Weighted V-ups
American Hammers
Plankle Taps
SSH

Due to the length of the Causeway, this took the balance of the hour.
MARY: None today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Monstar sister (in law? sorry I forget…) is with child. Congrats and prayers for safe carriage.
COT: Be well, do good work, and keep in touch.
