CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In our personal circles, in our families and at work we have certain “go to” people we count on for support all the time – like our spouses or certain team members. We delegate tasks many times at the last minute and many times without asking and/or maybe they just know what to do and do it- alot.  We count on them and we wouldn’t be able to do what we need to do without them. We need to take the time to recognize their constant support and give something back- maybe pick up some of their tasks unannounced. Reach out, acknowledge their constant efforts and let them know our appreciation.

MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.

Enjoying all The Project has to offer

THE SCENE: about 40 degrees with a little drizzle
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
15 SSH, 15 mountain climbers, 10 tempo merkins, 15 imperial walkers, 10 tempo squats
THA-THANG:

Mosey to the high school main entrance (watch for cars crossing the turnpike!).  Gather at the walls beside the stairs and perform ATMs with a twist.

15 Alternating Shoulder Touches (4-count) with feet near the top of the wall, drop down to regular plank, 10 Tempo Merkins (down on the 1-2-3, up on 4), 10 Merkins. Then, run a lap around the grass area.  Repeat exercises and lap once.

Mosey to the track for the…

Bataan Death March – AKA: Burpee Catch Me If You Can Indian Run…A combination of Catch Me If You Can and a traditional Indian Run. The last person drops and does 5 Burpees, while the rest of the PAX mosey in a line. After completing the Burpees, the last guy runs to catch the group, tapping the (new) last PAX on the shoulder, who then stops to begin his 5 Burpees, while the (former) last guy continues on to the front of the line. Continue until all PAX have performed two sets of Burpees.

Mosey back across the street (overcome the obstacle along the way – closed gate) to the playground.  Each PAX performed 5 pull-ups individually while others did the called exercises listed below.  All PAX completed 5 pull-ups for each exercise.

  • Freddie Mercury
  • burpees
  • heels to Heaven
  • PCMBs – Prison Cell Merkin Burpees – Sounds pretty horrible…it was!  Drop to Plank, do 1 Merkin then bring your right knee in and back, do 1 Merkin then bring your left knee in and back, do 1 Merkin then bring both feet in and jump up = 1 PCMB complete.
  • big boy sit-ups

Mosey to shovel flag.

MARY:
Ring of fire style merkins.  2, 4, and 6 merkins completed rounds 1, 2, and 3, respectively.  Done!
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
6 HIMs concurred the beatdown today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 6:1-8 – Do you not give or pray to be glorified by men, but do so to glorify God.  Do so in secret.  Don’t use “meaningless repetition” in prayer, but focus on talking to God.  He already knows what you need before you even ask.
MOLESKIN:
We did a little bit of traveling today and visited much of the AO.  All PAX survived crossing the Oak Ridge Turnpike, the Bataan Death March, and Prison Cell Merkin Burpees.  YHC gave a little Q school 101 during the warm-up.  We all seem to always say “ready position…move” even if we are already in position.  We should just say “ready position…your in it” if you’re already in position.  Just a little pet-peeve of mine.  Take it for what its worth.

BOM
Matthew 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?  And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

The word “perfect” doesn’t mean without error, it means mature.  Our lives are to be marked by daily growth.  Sometimes it will be slow and slight, sometimes large and loud, but either way we should be seeking to grow physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually everyday.

The growth point in this passage is love, specifically loving those who don’t love us.  It’s easy to love those we like, but what we are called to as HIMs is to even love those who stand against us.  This does NOT mean we let people trample over us or take us off mission.  It means we relate in a way that is void of hate or anger.  How we live and relate is what sets us apart.  We live on mission for a purpose.

This week you will face “enemies.”  Some you will know personally, some you won’t.  Brothers, choose love!  I will warn you now, you can’t do it in your own strength.  The good news is you don’t have to.  When faced with a difficult situation, seek help from above.  Pray that God would grant you the love for others that he has for you.
