Share The Burden

THE SCENE: Cool Morning

Cherry Pickers – In Cadence

Lil’ bit of this, lil’ bit of that
THA-THANG:

Indian Run using 75 lb sandbag.

  • Man at the end carries the sand bag while running to the front of the line. Dropping the sand bag as he gets in line. Man at the end grabs the sandbag and repeat.

Wall Squat sandbag pass

  • Indian run ended at block building. Each man did a wall squat on the wall and passed the sandbag down and back for a total of 7 passes.

Sandbag Lunges

  • Staying in line, everyone lunges. Man in front carries the sandbag for 3 lunges then drops it. Man behind picks up and does the same thing until playground was reached.

Monkey Bar Abs, Over the Shoulder Throws, Swing Pushups

  • First man in line does a sandbag toss over the shoulder 3 times then does the monkey bars. At each bar bringing the knees to chest before moving on to the next. When the first guy drops the sandbag the next grabs it and start his throws.
  • While waiting their turn for the toss and monkey bars, everyone else is doing decline merkins with feet in a swing. At the top of each push up bringing knees to chest.

Did this all twice-ish

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We aren’t called to carry the burdens of life alone. Galatians 6:2 “Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

The sandbag in the workout represented the burdens we may carry. Started the workout letting the men know that it was all of our responsibilities to make sure that sandbag reached the finished line. This was not about being the first to complete the circuit. If we saw someone struggling, help them. That may even mean that we carry it for them.

In life we may have opportunity to come along those who are struggling. We should see that as an opportunity to show Christ’s love by bearing that burden with them or for them. We may also be the recipient of that at some point in out lives.

Look for opportunity!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

While completing “The Snake” workout I was leading on Wednesday, I realized that while my running was going well, I was really going fast and able to keep up with the Rabbits in the group, my form on the exercises was not the best. I once heard a podcast from the F3Nation of podcasts about doing a Form Week, so I wanted to try it. It is often said that pastors often preach to themselves and what they need to hear most often, same goes for today’s Q. YHC wants to work on his form, so everyone is. I want to make this a more common thing to ensure I am not cheating myself during a workout, but also so others don’t as well.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today is my son’s 7th Birthday. He spent last weekend along with Monday and Tuesday sick. He doesn’t get sick very often, and when he does, he goes down HARD. With him being sick I was able to spend a lot of extra time with him this weekend and Monday when he stayed home from school. With his mom and I being divorced, extra time with him is few and far in between. 

My son mentioned this, that although he didn’t feel well, he mentioned several times that the extra time that we spent together was worth it. This almost 7 year old found the silver lining of his illness. I charge everyone to always remember to see the world through the innocent eyes of a child. Although he was sick, I was able to spend an extra day with my boy. Which was made all the more special being so close to his birthday! 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Bro-lympics on Nov. 5th → AO vs. AO competition! 

Hardship Hill coming next May. Take a look at the Hardship Hill channel on Slack for more info to participate and opportunities to volunteer to help!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
A water bottle used and empty in the parking lot is worthless.  That same bottle at the grocery store (bought in bulk) may cost $0.50.  Bought at a restaurant, maybe $2.00.  At a convenience store, $3.00, the airport, $6.00, or at a sporting event, as much as $8.00.

That same bottle of water, depending on the setting has varying amounts of value.  If you are not feeling valued at work, in a relationship, in an organization, it may be time to change the setting and find your value.  we all have value, and we all have some control over our setting and maximizing our value.
