THA-THANG:

The 1st Monthly “JUCO 1500” performed in the big parking lot, back side of campus.  each station was a parking space. The bear crawls, lunges and cmu mosey were all from line to line from one end of the lot to the other. If all 5 rds were performed the total reps would equal 1500 and the total distance would be approximately 1.5 miles. the Pax and their reported reps are listed below. Those that did not report a rep cound are listed with a 480 because I was last and I would have had 480 if I had finished my station when time was up. Therefore, I know they had at least 480. Ill be glad to update those #’s if those PAX want to report their # back to me. The JUCO 1500 will be repeated on 2019-11-18!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Referenced the prior message shared about Guardrails we can and should put up in our lives to keep us on the straight and narrow. my personal guard rail being financials. We put ourselves in financial situations trying to “keep up with the Jones” in the society we live in today  where we become enslaved to our debters, and our employers and so on which can in turn put us in less than desireable relationships and situations. a few scriptures that speak about debt and money. Matthew 6:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money .Romans 13:8 New International Version (NIV)8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Another topic thats been weighing on my mind lately is the false sense of division thats in our country, created by the media, politics and many other things that seem to divide us, all the way down to sports. However, when you get to know your neighbor, step out of your comfort zone and reach out to meet new people, especially those that may not be like you and stop listening to what “The News” or The Politicians want us to believe, we arent all that divided. . when I searched my bible app for the word Division i got about 100 different scriptures that were applicable. Romans 16:17-18 New International Version (NIV)17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.1 Corinthians 1:10-13 New International Version (NIV)10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

And ultimately, to sum it all up.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Now all has been heard;
    here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
    for this is the duty of all mankind.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We did the 31 Candy Corn in honor of Quikrete, aka Grady Pitstick, who joined our PM PAX last year and passed away last November.  He would have been 31 today.  Tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. Take advantage of today.  Always take the opportunity to reach out to someone who might need a little support, a little encouragement, or just a smile and a friendly greeting. It may mean more than you think.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers to Sparkler and his family on this day.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1 of General Neyland Game Maxims is to Carry the fight to the opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.  How hard is it to carry the fight to a workout for 45 minutes and not let the doubt of if you can do it keep you from giving it your all!  Now, it’s even harder to carry the fight to a marriage for a lifetime!  We have to fight for our marraige.  Fight the world, the doubt, the lust.  Marriage is a foundation of our country and people scoff at it and treat it like its no big deal.  Check out the Knoxville Marriage Initiative.  It’s a great program that I highly recommend for any married couple.  Newlyweds or Oldlyweds you can learn something from it!  Powell Church will be hosting an event.  Check out the links below.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Read a book over the Summer call the “Book Thief”.  It is written with the narrator as death.  Death takes the souls of everyone who has died.  Death is not angry, mean, or have any malice.  It is just his job to take souls once someone dies.  Every once in a while there is a soul that is so much lighter because that person has given most of themselves away in this life so there is not much to pick up and carry away. None of us gets out of the life alive.  Take the time to give yourself away in this life so you will be the lightest of souls taken to heaven.

“His soul sat up. It met me. Those kinds of souls always do – the best ones. The ones who rise up and say “I know who you are and I am ready. Not that I want to go, of course, but I will come.” Those souls are always light because more of them have been put out. More of them have already found their way to other places.”

Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

“A key to success is playing the hand you were dealt like it was the hand you wanted.” -Inky Johnson.

MOLESKIN:
Mumble chatter was high today even throughout the burpees. PAX pushed hard and kept YHC motivated to push to the end.  Success was had throughout the workout with the only audible being the 300 V-Ups.  I believe we hit about 1/3 of those.

Pray for Lady Junk – continued chemo treatment but prognosis is looking good.
