CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Cardinal made his living as the pastor of a church in Harriman. Years ago, he received two job offers on the same day. One was a larger established church. The other was a tiny country church that was actively disappearing. He took his family to the smaller church. He had a passion for “revitalizing” and “replanting” churches – that’s how he said it.
During the last week, I’ve heard this from many of you and from scores of men around the world who have reached out…I’ve also thought it myself – “That could have been me.” It makes me reflect on how precious life is and on what my priorities are. Sometimes my highest priorities do not always get the best of me and the most of me.
Psalm 39:4-5, “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered how fleeting my life is.”
Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”
Several PAX shared how they can reset on their highest priorities to make sure they are giving their best to what is most important. Make sure you are taking your role and responsibilities seriously (e.g., make sure your M will be taken care of if you were to die suddenly).
I think our friend Cardinal would be thrilled to know that even his death caused so many men to be revitalized and replanted in their responsibilities and priorities.
MOLESKIN:
This workout was inspired by the beatdown I suffered at the hands of Feeny on Monday. I was still sore when we started it all again!
