CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked to the PAX about the joy I have seen this week as I drop off my daughter at school. “New” safety patrol students for next year do the job with joy, fear, excitement, and a willingness to please. The “mentor” safety patrol offers advise and help and tips. It’s awesome. We need to be more like the safety patrol students- eager to try new things, eager to listen to the help being offered, eager to step out of our comfort zone. We need to be like the mentors- eager to offer sound advise and help. PAX challenged to either open car doors, mentor, or both and do it all with joy and excitement!
MOLESKIN:
Dudes got afternit today! It was cool to see the Rucker’s and hook up with them for the BOM!

JUCO – Interlaken

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER 

Praise the Lord for a great event this weekend.
WARM-O-RAMA:

Cherry Pickers, Lunges, Side-straddle-hops, Side toe touches, 4-count merkins

THA-THANG:  Interlaken
Using a FIFO Sprint Train,  inter link (connect) the three lakes on campus.

While one person sprints to the next exercise station, the rest of the group does the current exercise in place.  When one person finishes the sprint he calls out “Go” to the next in line person, who then stops doing the exercise and sprints to the next station.  Upon reaching the next exercise station, begin doing the next exercise until the whole group has reached the current station.  It works best if we all stay in the same order.   Sprints are designed to be mostly on the straight aways and about 100 yards.  Exercises are:

  1. Plank hold.
  2. Leg lift hold.
  3. Squat Hold.
  4. Side Plank Star Hold.
  5. Elbows to Plank.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

How many of you have hit golf balls at a driving range? When you have all or most of the balls, typically, we just let it rip. However, when the bucket is nearly empty, we start to focus.

We need to be like a soldier, an athlete and a farmer.  A solder is focused and purposeful.  An athlete is disciplined, committed and dedicated. A farmer has faith/hope because they are planting seeds to produce & sustain life.

God didn’t promise us an easy life but a meaningful one if we live through Him

If our life were like a clock and we were born at 7:00 a.m. and died at 11:00 p.m., on average, if you are:

20 years old, it’s 11:43 a.m. in your life

30 years old, it’s 1:17 p.m. in your life

45 years old, it’s 5:00 p.m. in your life

I turned 47 not long ago which means it’s after 5:00 p.m. in my life.

In life, we don’t know which day will be our last so we need to focus today and every day on what is important…make the call to a loved one, teach our kids lessons right away, be the person we want and need to be NOW.

We need to tee up that golf ball that we call life and focus every day or shot like it could be the last of our life!

TEE IT UP & SWING AWAY!!!

8x HIMs this morning
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In life, we have a lot of things that we have to try to keep in balance.  Work/home, food/exercise, cost/benefit, etc.  But there’s one area in which, there’s no way to pile enough on one side to balance the other, and that’s the sin/righteousness balance.  No matter how much good we try to do, there’s nothing we can do in our own strength to tip that balance in our favor.  Titus 3:5 says, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost”.  He put His thumb on the scale when he sent His Son to take the penalty for our sin through His death.
MOLESKIN:
My precision calculation of the number of stones to put in the balance ended up a little high.  But that’s OK, as someone decided to accelerate the filling of the other side by a bit.  Ended up adding burpees at the end, so it all worked for the best!.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hardship Hill is THIS WEEKEND!  Can’t wait!  .
