F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

warm up stuff

THA-THANG:
I had a stack of about 30 or so cardboard pieces with different exercises and quantities on them. The PAX grabbed an exercise and ran to the next cone, roughly 30 yards away and did the exercise and quantity. Then they ran back to grab another card and brought it up to the cone as well. We continued until all cards were brought to the next cone. We repeated the process along a marked path. Some runs were longer than others, and we also picked up additional cards along the way. Exercise included were as follows: Merkins, squads, toe touch planks, inchworms, Burpees, dry docks, crunches, big boy sit ups, side straddle hops, jump, squats, and maybe a couple more I can’t remember. Quantities varied from five Merkins to 30 dry docks.

MARY:
Not much in terms of at work today. We just finished the last couple minutes with a round of ring of fire inchworms

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What is a chiral molecule?

A molecule is said to be chiral if the object and its mirror image are non-superimposable, just like our right and left hand. They are essentially the same but completely different. One hand when placed over the other on a table do not line up, but when placed up against them selves they do. In the case of the well-known chiral painkiller, ibuprofen, the (S) or right -enantiomer has the desired pharmacological activity while the (R) left -enantiomer is totally inactive. In the case of Thalidomide, The R-enantiomer is an effective sedative, which has a soothing effect that relieves anxiety and makes the patient drowsy; while, the S-enantiomer is known to cause very serious teratogenic birth defects.
We can see this example with God. God created us in his own image when looking at us, we may look like him, but we are way different than he is. The difference that separates us from him is sin. When we separate ourselves from him we can become ineffective or even toxic and deadly. So how can we change this? Turn away from sin and come closer to God. Read his word, pray to him, follow his commands. When we turn towards him we change.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:  Listening and Doing – James 1:19-27

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the righteousness[h] God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
