“always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Ephesians 5:20 NIV

If you’re in the Bible study we’re on a 21 day gratitude journey. I love these. Not only is it a positive experience while you’re doing it, but when you go back and read through everything you’ve journaled, it’s pretty cool too.
Thank you gentlemen for challenging me! I have nothing but respect for you guys.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. – Galatians 6:2 NASB1995

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. – 1 Thessalonians 5:11 NASB1995

Trying to shoulder our burdens all by ourselves is really difficult. We are called to bear one another’s burdens and build each other. That means that when we have burdens too heavy to bear, we have to be willing to share them with our trusted brothers. I know this can be very difficult for us men who want to generally hold in our emotions and our challenges. We typically think that it shows weakness to ask for help. Fact is…we need it.

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 NASB1995

We can find our ultimate (eternal) rest in Jesus.

MOLESKIN:
YHC always over plans workouts but was pleasantly surprised how much we got done. Well done gents!

Traveling by BLIMPS

THE SCENE: Chilly; in the 40s. Great weather for a blimp ride.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Warmed up with some:
    • Abe Vigoda
    • Arm Circles forward/back
    • tempo squat
    • plank jacks

THA-THANG:

Travel to new campus building. Partner up and complete the following in pairs. One person does 10 of the main exercise while the other does the waiting exercise. Then they swap until 100 reps of the main exercise have been completed.

100 Merkin – Plank
100 LBC – Low Plank
100 Squat – Al Gore

Travel to Far end of Pond. Travel by BLIMP around the smaller pond loop.

  • Burpee x5
  • Lunge x10
  • Imperial Walker x15
  • Merkin x20
  • Plank Jack x25
  • Squat x30

Traveling by BLIMPS is slow as you can imagine. The Lunges, Imp Walker and squat with side step kept us slowly moving forward. Needless to say we didn’t make it around the loop.

Headed back toward the flag, stopping to do a modified Beast.

Completed 6 reps of LBC, squats, Werkin, American Hammer and Burpee. Started heading back toward the flag as time wound down.

MARY:
Finished it out with some Hello Dollies and Flutter Kicks.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Previously, I had talked about  the humility of Christ from Phil 2:5-7. His coming to earth to serve others and sacrifice of himself. (On so many levels)
That same passage continues and connects that humbleness of Jesus with God exalting him and giving him the name that is above every name. Lets look at the next few verses.

Phil 2:9-11

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name. So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God has declared Jesus as synonymous with himself and given him his own name. One day there will be no choice but everyone will recognize the glory of God and bow.

“I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.”“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Philippians 4:12-13

We often forget to be praise God when we’re on top of the mountain, or during the climb. Somehow we always remember to ask for his help in the valleys. Let’s be greatful for all he’s given us at every stage.

Penalty Ball

THA-THANG:
Soccer ball Indian run (it’s not a thing, we made it up)  Dribble the soccer ball around the outer circle.  If it hit the curb 5 Burpees for all.  After you get the ball to the front of the line drop off with the leader and then he takes over.

Grabbed a CMU and carried it to the dark wet soccer field.

Stitch gets credit for this work out:

Make the shot on goal: 4 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 10 Curls, 10 Overhead press

Miss the shot on Goal: Double it.

Further goal, Just 2 burpees, but if you miss 10.  Still 10 (or 20) Merkins, Curls and OHP.

MARY:
Ran for cover, where we did LBC, Kick throughs, Hello Dolly, Imperial Walkers, Slow BBS spine bounce up things (Needs a name), High Hello Dolly, a few other things and ended with Supermans.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Yesterday was Resurrection Sunday.  That is all about New life.  Eternal life.  And Eternal life doesn’t start when we die.  It starts when we see life for what it is and live with Him.

Consider the most memorized verse: John 3:16  “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life“.  There are so many other verses- just search “eternal life” in YouVersion or another bible app and you’ll see the Abundant life Jesus talks about in John 10:10 is from Him.

So my challenge to you this week is to share some scripture with someone this week.  Maybe (hopefully) it’s in a slack channel.  Share some scripture with you kids and wife.  Share some scripture with a friend by text.  Maybe a neighbor needs to hear it.   God’s Word will not return void.  It gives life.  Share it.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
CSAUP at Haw Ridge May 7.  Get registered.  it’s going to be a blast.  9pm-midnight.
