BOM
Today is my 33rd Birthday and I’m honored to share it with you men. When I turned 30 I was determined to make the next 10 years the best years of my life. I refused to believe that my best years were behind me. I was so mad that I was 30 I had planned on beginning an F30 campaign. I would gather my friends who were all about the same age, we would get “F30” T-Shirts made with nicknames and would sign up for all kinds of Mud Runs and make sure our best years were to come. God has a funny way about things… Instead of F30, he gave me F3 with a circle around it and instead of a cool name nickname like Maverick, I was dubbed La-Z-Boy. I’m thankful to be a part of this PAX and humbled by you all every time I come out!

MOLESKIN:
Mumblechatter ended quickly with our Warm-O-Rama Burpees this morning. But picked back up when I mentioned how distraught I was at 30, some snickers and comments like “Wait til you turn 40 or 50!”. It’s great to be out with HIMs who can offer such great perspective on life.

Play the hand you’re dealt.

WORD:

Be a Christ Follower not just a Christ fan.
too many times we miss an excellent opportunity to share the good news with people we interact with on a daily basis. Whether that be coworkers, family, friends, or a complete stranger. One of the things that God specifically asks us to do is spread his Good News. To act on the great commission.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28:19‬

Step out there, be bold, talk about the Good News and how it’s changed your life.

Moleskin:
Well, today (Valentine’s Day!) was supposed to be Swirlie’s VQ. He had some big plans for sleds, tires and all kinds of pain for the PAX. The man upstairs stepped in with a little Fever and Sore throat to keep the PAX alive (we prayed for Swirlie’s health to improve). Seriously, Swirlie – the next time you might want to plan something “the average man” can do – none of this 24yr old “I’m a monster athlete” stuff…

Anyway, there was little mumblechatter (I mean almost NONE) this morning during the introduction of most of the PAX to the P-Nut classic “Sutherland Seabiscuit” workout at #TheDogPound. Some of these HIMs had done it before and knew what to expect, but WOW did it smoke the PAX. Maybe we shouldn’t do it on a 1/3 mile loop…but as-intended next time on a 400 yard track.

Nah.

It’ll be back for sure!

It’s BO Time!

BOM:
Stained glass
As people, we are broken scratched, beat up. We were perfect smooth glass when created in the garden but sin entered our lives and broke everything. We are nothing but a pile of broken glass.

But Christ through his sacrifice took our brokenness, perfectly put us back together in a way that we are even more beautiful. Where his light shines thru us and others will see his glory.

Resolve. Tested.

MOLESKIN
It was a really gloomy morning – the humidity was almost beginning to spit.  Tweet-E was in much better state than he was yesterday, but this one got him.  I think it got all of us.  I brought the 2-pood ‘bell out for some fun, but only used it for the AM swings – and it smoked me.  What’s up with the 50 lunges????  Weighted?  Seriously reconsider that one again.  Until next week.
