CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Goals are simply dreams with a deadline. We all need accountability to help us reach our goals and not just perceive them as dreams. Goals are achievable only though daily habit changes. It’s changing the daily grind that will help to get us closer to our goals and dreams.

MOLESKIN:
None

THA-THANG:
PAX counted off 1-4 and split into groups of 4 people each. One PAX from each group was designated “injured” and had to be carried by the remaining three. PAX rotate as needed while we headed for the Pav-A-Lon. We paused for 20 Iron Mikes (4 ct. OYO) while some of the folks rested their shoulders.

Once at the Pav-A-Lon, each PAX drew two cards from the card. The number designated the rep count and the suit designated the exercise as follows:

  • Hearts = Pull-ups
  • Clubs = Burpees
  • Spades = Dips
  • Diamonds = Diamond Merkins

Face cards = 10 and Aces = 11.

Between rounds PAX moseyed to the top of the hill and bear crawled back down.

We broke back into groups and carried our injured teammates back to the AO.

MARY:
We cashed out with two rounds of ATMs!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Two FNGs today – good work guys!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared a story with the PAX of a college senior that was seeking guidance because she was stressed about decisions others were making for her. We talked about the importance of remembering that we are grown-ups that are not only capable of, but responsible for, our own decisions. It’s easy to get complacent and let others lead, but there comes a time when you need to step up and do your own thing.
MOLESKIN:
TAP to the Junk clan – we missed you out there today, brother!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Truckin’ to the Pound coming up in September.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

2 Corinthians 12:15 — “I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls.”

It’s good and right to spend ourselves to serve others.  To use our talents, gifts, energy, strength… to serve others and lay down our lives is why all those things were given to us.    We were not given those gifts to serve ourselves or exalt ourselves.  What a joy it is to be able to lay down our lives for —  our wife, children, employer, employees, family members, etc… What we have today is to be used for the good of others and not ourselves.
