CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Being authentic. Too many times we put on a persona of what we think people want to see. We act differently around our family, friends, church and co-workers to meet expectations. Social media has elevated this to an unhealthy level where we only post the most perfect moments in our lives and compare ourselves in all of our imperfections to other’s most perfect moments. We need to strive to be authentic in all aspects of our lives and stop comparing ourselves to these micro snapshots from others.

Mosey back to front of school/planters.

  • Rockette dips in sets of 8,6,7,5,3,0,9 with 4 jump squats between each set.  This seemed to be a bit confusing as some thought we were doing box jumps and weren’t sure about the rockette dip numbers per set.  More on this later.

Mosey over to the playground splash pad and did this routine 3x.

  • 8 – Descending carolina dry docks
  • 6 – Big boy situps
  • 7 – mountain climbers
  • 5 – merkins

Mosey across Emory Rd up to car wash and did 10 merkins.

Mosey back to school planters.  Since we had confusion (VQ issue) before and some wanted to do box jumps, we did 2 sets of 20 box jumps.

Moved over to starting circle for Mary.

MARY:

all in sequence – flutter kicks 20, hello dolly 20, Thors to 5.

Finished the search for Jenny fun by listening to the inspiration for this Q, 867-5309 while holding a plank position.  Performed a plank jack anytime we heard Jenny (11) and a merkin for every 8645309 (21).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all fail.  It’s how we react to and overcome failure that matters.  Inspired by Gary Robbins and his missing the 60 hour cut-off time at the Barkley Marathon by 6 seconds last year.  He didn’t quit or give up after this failure.  He came back this year and while no one finished, he made it farther than anyone (3 laps).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Watching my sons learn the proper way to hit a baseball has been an exercise in patience. For me and them. To hit a baseball you have to have your upper body in an athletic position, your legs and feet set in the correct position, your hands “hidden” by your ears with the bat in the right position. When you swing you drive with your hips with your hands bringing the handle of the bat toward the ball and drive through. Your back leg/foot pivots and your head stays down on the ball. You get all those things working together, you hit the ball.

We must do the same with our minds and bodies when it comes to our relationship with God. We must be disciplined, self controlled, and ready to listen. Pray for the aspects in which we are weak and be ready to be instructed. The Lord will guide us in His ways. He wants us to succeed at life and to live for Him and serve Him.

Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. 
Luke 10:1‭ NASB

We are not meant to operate alone. Find a brother who can hold you up when you struggle, call you out when needed and be there for you always. The key to this is that you have to do the same for them.
