THA-THANG:
Falling Indian Run to Hole 1 Tee Pad (aka Burpee Mile parking lot) – Spotter suggested Merkins (~3 / loop so pretty doable for everyone).
Today we are playing a round disc golf. Kind of. At each basket YHC will set up two cones from which we putt. Once someone makes it or once 1 minute passes, we switch to another exercise that is (supposedly) easier.
So many great shots from the PAX that helped us have a fun and solid workout We got to Hole 8 and it was 6:11am. YHC did not get to take a shot but all PAX worked hard. Mosey back to #shovelflag and did a short Wagon Wheel where Sunrise showed some extra energy once I called Jailbreak. Good times. 🙂
MARY:
No time for that.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 PAX – 1 per each of the 9 holes we were supposed to play today!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Trying something new. You could fail. But one characteristic of Christians, especially of men who are Christians, is that we do not play it safe. We are called to lay down our lives as Christ did for us- for our family & friends. We don’t just take risks to be taking risks or to make us look good- we take risks not knowing how they will turn out here. Today we didn’t get done with all 9 holes on the disc golf course. There are varying degrees of risk but as Christian men we are called to consider 3 things related to risk:
1. Risk it – “Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway.” – John Wayne (my pastor quotes him often). Scripturally we can look at Psalm 27:14 – Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
2. Risk it for the right things. (choose that biscuit wisely)
James 4:15 says “if the Lord wills, we will do this or that”
We do wise “Risk vs. Reward Analysis”, but we know that we need to know what Hill to die on. Calvary is one of them with Christ as our example.
3. Risk it – but wait for the Lord
When we take risks, we don’t know how things are going to turn out in the details. Ultimately we do (Revelation 21-22 tells us what the end result of Genesis 3), but as we see throughout the Bible we say “how long O Lord?” Isaiah 64:4 tells us what we have to continue to do:
From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him.
So. Take a risk. For God. And wait for Him to act in that risking until He fulfills it.
“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot
MOLESKIN:
Prayed for Data’s marriage, Median’s wrist, & Dart Gun’s recovery from surgery. And the BOM was super sweaty but I’m thankful we can do that once again.
Earliest sunrise of the year provided a great backdrop and clear visibility for the holes after hole 2 today. Still a little GLOOMy but hey, that’s where SYITG comes from.
