CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A story of perspective-
My son was a young cub scout selling popcorn for his Pack outside a small-town Walmart. The rain was pouring down and it was cold and miserable. As a bit of advice, I told him that he was going to hear 10 “no’s” for every “yes”. After about 13 no’s, he came to me and said, “I’ve had 13 no’s, so a yes is going to happen at any time!” This is a cute story about how we should perceive a difficult situation. So often we think about the “no’s” instead of the “yes” that is about to come. God has promised us all an incredible “yes”, so always try and keep this perspective in your life. Reflect on Romans 8:18 – I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

BOM:

  • “The most secure prisons are those we construct for ourselves.”
  • Rarely do we think about the constraints we place on our own lives. Everything we are afraid to try is a limitation to what we can become. Fear and anxiety keep us from trying new things. Looking back throughout our lives we can see many broken promises to ourselves. Often, we use excuses (not smart enough/not strong enough/ not enough time/etc.) to justify these broken promises. We pay too much attention to words – others and our own – and not enough to the action that defines us.

Incremental Growth

The Scene: perfect conditions – 55 degrees, clear

The Thang:

5:30 COP – 7 min

  • Baby arm circles X 10 (forward/backward)
  • Cherry Picker
  • Merkin
  • Goofball
  • Jog 2 parking lot laps

Line up in parking lot Burpee Dans

Beginning at the curb, perform 4 lunges then 4 burpees, rinse and repeat across parking lot, run back to curb. Then 4 lunges and 3 burpees. Rinse and repeat (then 2 burpees, then 1 burpee). Plank or BBS until group finishes.

Mosey to lower parking lot – find a battle buddy

One man runs the length of the parking lot, performs 5 Merkins, then runs back while partner does Merkins (100), then BBS (200), then jump squats (100). Trade each lap until the total number is completed.

Next exercise:

Group splits: Half begin Bearpees (10 bear crawls followed by 1 Burpee), while the other half start Bernie Sanders on the hill. Bernie Sanders group relieves Bearpee group. Endless until 6:15am.

INCREMENTAL GROWTH

Growth is hard to see. We measure growth. When an acorn is crushed by a 1,000 lb. tombstone, who wins? It’s a no brainer. The acorn always wins. God waters it, and slow growth appears. Let’s all work toward incremental growth in our spiritual life– the same way we are working toward growing in fitness and strength.

Leg Day!!

The Scene:  60 Degrees and awesome.

Name-O-Rama: 7 PAX

BOM: As described in the book of 1 Samuel, David did not take the advice of his peers which was to seek revenge, retaliate, and kill Saul. Although he had ample opportunity, David was wise enough to call on God for the strength and wisdom for self-control.  People will attack us and hurt us with words and actions.  As much as we really want to, don’t take the low road.  Be like David and call on God.  Don’t let someone else’s sins and mistakes cause you to be less of a man.  David was an Old Testament HIM that we could learn from.

Moleskin:  Friends don’t let their friends skip leg day.  The Men of the JUCO burned some goo this morning and should be feeling a little wobbly for a while.  The energy and effort was good this morning.  Way to go, HIM’s!
