CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The WORD today came straight from The Word (i.e. the Bible).  I read a few verses from Matthew 6 (verses 19-21, 25, 26, 33, and 34).  To sum up (please read these yourself), the passage is talking about where our focus needs be:  serving God and therefore getting to Heaven.  Don’t worry about what tomorrow will bring.  Serve God today and “all these things will be added to you”.  It’s not saying what we need will just fall into our lap.  We have to put in some effort, but our focus needs to be on serving Him first because that’s what is truly important.  The trials of this life will be worth it in the end.
MOLESKIN:
Thanks to Booster for the opportunity to Q this morning.  I enjoyed it.  My legs are toast after tackling Jucomanjaro.  That hill is no joke!  Fast-n-Easy did it twice including his pre-ruck!  Trolley showed us how men do box jumps by jumping on top of the table-top instead of the seats of the picnic benches like the rest of us boys.

It was good to meet a few new faces this morning.  I will definitely return to Q again (as long as I am not shunned)!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week a friend of mine from high school hit rock bottom. He was truly broken in all sense of the word. He is suffering from drug addiction and he is being treated at a facility as we speak. It is when we are broken that we can truly see the overwhelming love of God. We ignore or forget his gift when things are going our way and we “have no need” for God. But when your broken and then made new, you can truly appreciate Gods gift to us. Example of a light stick, breaking and then glowing.

Listen.   Really Listen.  Don’t miss an opportunity.  It’s too easy to only hear the “loud” stuff.  Just as Elijah did in the mountain, listen for God’s whisper.

MOLESKIN:

The first time (back on August 8th, 2018) we ran out of time at station 11. This time we made it to 14 when 6:07 timer went off.  We used the Mary time to get to the top with half the reps and only running in-between stations.  NEXT time we’ll probably just run in-between each station.  That would probably leave extra time for warm up and marry.  

MARY:

Mary, we don’t need no stinkin Mary, we’re too busy climbin a hill.

Integrity is doing the right thing.  Even when no one is watching. –C.S. Lewis

The Lord’s eyes are on the righteous and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord cannot tolerate those who do evil.  1 Peter 3:12

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. Luke 16:10

MOLESKIN:
Solid workout for The Men of the JUCO. Kept the heart rate up and the breakfast down.  Booster was thankful we didn’t get much leg work in.  Maybe next time.  🙂  Mumble chatter was good, the effort was great!  Way to go, HIM’s!
