COT:
Scripture: Isaiah 40:29 – “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

In life, we often think of strength in terms of physical power or endurance. We train our bodies, push through challenges, and strive to be strong on our own. But true strength isn’t just about what we can do on our own—it’s about relying on God, who gives us the strength we need to overcome anything.
The prophet Isaiah reminds us that God is the source of our strength. When we are weary and feel like we have nothing left to give, God is there, providing the strength that goes beyond our own limitations. His power isn’t just for the strong; it’s for the weak, the tired, and the overwhelmed.
Today, if you’re feeling worn out or discouraged, remember that you don’t have to rely on your own strength. God is ready to renew your strength, lift you up, and empower you to face whatever comes your way.

Also consider this from our sermon at church this weekend.

Ask Jesus, “What do you want me to know about me?”

COUNT: 1
Lots of guys with the same names as some Knoxville friends. This park was pretty cool. It had amusement rides and great features. Their “Matlock” ran us all over the park doing 7’s and 11’s along the way.

COT:

Slammo Whammo

AO: the-farm
Q: Lightweight
PAX: Bartman, Einstein, Choir Boy, Aladdin
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
WARMUP:
Yep
THE THANG:
Instead of our usual circuits, a Slammo set lay waiting, promising a change of pace. What unfolded, however, was a masterclass in collective sporting ineptitude. Throws sailed wide, taps landed short, and powerful swings missed entirely.
Competition gave way to a shared, unspoken goal: simply hit the net.

We made it 16.

We did burpees, at first for each miss, after 40 – 50 reps we switched to merkins, 3 each time the ball hit the ground.

MARY:
ROF curls

COT:
A bit of venting.
