Thoughts on events of the weekend and divide of our country. Pray for our country – nothing is too big or too broken for our God.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬

THE THANG:
I was recently told about the Knees Over Toes guy so we incorporated a few of his suggested exercises.

Started at entrance and walked backward up the hill and then moseyed to CMU pile.

4 corners workout in the school parking lot.

Round 1
-split squats (10)
-v ups (15)
-toe merkins (20)
-heels touches aka awkward turtles (25)

Traversed to each corner by lining up head to toe in a plank position and slid CMU up to person in front. Run to front of line after you pushed all the CMUs and continued until we reached the corner. Rotated between left side push, right side push, and pull CMUs on each side.

Round 2
-heel elevated squats (10)
-dips (15)
-pickle pointers (20)
-curls (25)

Bernied between each corner during round 2

Round 3 was a mix of round 1 & 2.

Completed a few burpees for penance of broken CMUs, and then racked the remaining.

MARY:
10 monkey humpers

COT:

COT:
The power of Prayer. After this weekend’s assassination attempt on Trump, I thought the best reaction to the current political upheaval in our country is to pray. There is power in prayer. The political temperature in our county is running red hot, and it needs to cool down. I believe there is power in prayer, and I shared the story of Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20. Hezekiah followed God fairly well, and when he was told by the prophet Isaiah that he was about to die, Hezekiah prayed vehemently that God would allow him to live. Based on Hezekiah’s earnest prayer, God spared him and allow him to live 15 more years. He changed God’s mind. Let us pray for God’s mercy and grace on the USA.
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
