CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I will work on a better bomb, but worry was the bomb for today..Based on Mathew 6:27 Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?  I did a poor job of quoting and could only paraphrase; however in this time of Covid-19, political disgrace, and the continual need to trust in the workouts and not worry if it will be good, good weather, you can make it through or not … one should practice good judgement but not worry for this only creates additional stress that works against our health.
MOLESKIN:
I wish I could cadence, but I have two left feet and no rhythm, something I will work on for next time (and a better BOM).  Shout out for Tank jumping in and helping and for Woodshack finishing it off so everyone can hear what a good cadence sounds like, thanks HIM’s!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Like the Stone of Wisdom, friendship may be lying right in your back yard and you may never know it.  Your best friend may be a stranger to you, or you may lose him because you didn’t bother to hold him.  Friends must be cultivated by sincerity, frankness, and deeds of affection.  No one can remain your friend if you hide your soul from him.  You needn’t save face before your friend.  Your friend will save it for you.

Life is a chain of little events.  Close your soul to your friend, and he will lose sight of you.  And if you find your friend, give of your friendship and it will return to you tenfold.  Those who cannot give friendship will rarely receive it and never hold it.

MID WORKOUT MINI BOM: The three sections of the work out were parallels with our lives. The first section was Chance, when things happen in our lives without our control or anyone else’s. Although I don’t believe in Chance, God is always in control, it’s not necessarily something we see coming or can plan for. We can either take it positively or negatively. We can either work hard at work were dealt with or we can complain and break down because we are not in control. The second area was being directed or told what to do. Many of us have issues with this as we are brought up to be leaders and sometimes following orders is difficult. We can either take it and do what we’re supposed to do or moan and groan and say I would do it this way instead. The third area was our own choices. Where we are  able to dictate what we do in our lives. We can either live our lives in a positive manner we can live our lives in a negative manner. For all three of these scenarios, we need to ask ourselves what are we trying to accomplish. Are we going to be a blockade, or are we going to be a driver. And that’s all Tank has to say about that.

La-z-Boy takes over as Tank had to take his momma to the airport.
