CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today I had a workout planned but forgot to check what Booger did on Tuesday. When I did that this morning at 5am it was pretty much the same thing I had planned. Luckily I had a couple in my bag of tricks that I could pull out. One thing I did not plan was my BOM. The lack of planning on my part is disappointing to myself as I value the BOM greatly . As I am running back to the AO with my CMU I started thinking about how we have the best of plans and they often don’t turn out the way we want them. God’s plan is always perfect and even though we don’t understand it, it is a wonderful plan for us. We need to trust God with our plans even when they don’t go the way we want them to or if we don’t even think about planning at all.
MOLESKIN:
The workout today was a bit repetitive, but the mumblechatter kept it entertaining. Shout out to @Trap Door for pushing hard at the end caring that CMU to the finish line
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for VBS coming soon and leadership at camp. Friends dealing with disease and cancer.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower encouraged Allied soldiers taking part in the D-day invasion of June 6, 1944, reminding them, “The eyes of the world are upon you,” before they embarked on ” a great crusade.”

– it is so hard for us to remember how much has been sacrificed for us to be able to do this today. Think back to when you were 18 & idk what you were doing but I bet it wasn’t jumping out of a boat with bullets flying by your head and into your buddies.

– I think Eisenhower’s reminder of the eyes of the world are upon you still ring true for us today though. As Christian men – Men of Impact – the eyes of the world absolutely are on us and we are without a doubt on a crusade. Keep fighting the good fight and keep the faith. Like I said before you are better men than when you showed up this morning – and none of us would be here without the other.

The music today was from Who’s Next, an August 1971 album by the Who.  The workout title comes from the Bargain track.  Many people believed Townshend was writing about pursuing a woman.  The lyrics are below:

Bargain

I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I had
To find you I’d suffer anything and be glad

I’d pay any price just to get you
I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I got
To catch you I’m gonna run and never stop

I’d pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I’m gonna drown an unsung man

I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I sit looking ’round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I’m worth nothing without you
And like one and one don’t make two
One and one make one
And I’m looking for that free ride to me
I’m looking for you

I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I got
To catch you I’m gonna run and never stop

I’d pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I’m gonna drown an unsung man

I’d call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

Songwriter: Peter Dennis Blandfor Townshend

When asked about the song and the inspiration for it, Pete Townshend stated, “The song is simply about losing one’s self ego as a devotee of Meher Baba. I constantly try to lose myself and find him. I’m not very successful, I’m afraid, but this song expresses how much of a bargain it would be to lose everything in order to be at one with God.”

I look at the words differently.

I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I had
To find you I’d suffer anything and be glad

I’d pay any price just to get you
I’d work all my life and I will
To win you I’d stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I’d gladly lose me to find you
I’d gladly give up all I got
To catch you I’m gonna run and never stop

I’d pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I’m gonna drown an unsung man

Although using different words, this is what Jesus said … and did for me.  All He asks is “Follow me.”
