COT:
In American, we are generally very blessed. Many have more than enough to live, and we often are always in pursuit of more. Life is more than riches and success. Let me share a passage with you to consider.
Luke 12:15-21
“Then He said to them, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” And He told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.” ’ But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’ So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

There is a lot that we can take from this passage, but I want to hone in on our pursuit of riches. This pursuit gets in the way of doing more important things like serving God and spending time with our families. True life isn’t about riches at all! Be on guard and don’t let greed rule your life.

Weight Wednesday

AO: the-farm
Q: Choir Boy
PAX: Choir Boy, Aladdin
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP: Aladdin needed to leave a few minutes early, so we did some stretching and 50 SSHs on a 4 count and got busy.

THE THANG: One person carries two 25-lbs weight plates around the loop while the other does 10 merkins.  When the merkins are done, the person runs and catches the other.  Once caught, each person takes a weight plate and does 10 curls, 10 overhead presses, 10 tricep extensions, and 10 rows.  Switch roles and repeat around the loop until the loop is completed. If the catch occurs near a bench, stop and do 25 dips.

MARY: Had time to run a lap around the loop

ANNOUNCEMENTS: No time because Aladdin had to leave.

COT: You can’t have a circle of one, so I walked another lap around the loop to fill up the last five minutes or so and prayed for the growth and success of our AO and all of the current PAX and those who have yet to find their way to the Farm.
