12 HIMs showed up in the Gloom this morning! 1 DownRange from F3Franklin. Thanks for joining us @Corncob! 

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

For those who have attended my Q’s in the past, you know that I go one of two ways. Thoughtful, well-researched, and readout of my notebook WORDs, and those that come to me randomly. This morning I want to talk about patience. BACKGROUND: I spent several hours on the phone with two cell phone providers trying to figure out why my M’s phone was shut off and why another canceled my order for new SIM cards for her and my 2.0s. Patience was needed. Not just for the customer service reps, but also with my wife when I informed her that we had to change the phone number she’s had for half a decade. 

While I was indeed frustrated and running out of patience, I knew that I needed to remain a calming presence while she dealt with this fact. I made sure to talk calmly and not put my own frustrations of the past 4 hours on the phone on her. It wouldn’t be fair to her and would not help the situation AT ALL. The lack of patience can infect your life, your family, your job, everything. Be mindful of how your attitude and frustrations affect those that mean the most in your life.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You don’t have to travel or gain to earn rest in God

1 Timothy 1:15-16: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I [Paul] am the worst.  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
MOLESKIN:
Paul was a really bad dude.  He hated Christians and and enjoyed killing them / watching them be killed for sport.  In the very midst of that, on a trip to Damascus to participate in more persecution, God met him.  God doesn’t need for us to achieve a certain status or clean up our act before he’ll meet us.  He seeks after us constantly and desires to meet us exactly where we are so that his grace and mercy can be put on display, and so our faith in him can grow more abundant.  You can’t earn it, so don’t allow your ego let you think that you need to put forth more effort before you call on him.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Sprinkles on the announcement of his wife’s pregnancy!

Big shout out to the servant leaders among this group for their support of Blindside and his teachers at Kelly Academy

Didn’t think about the fact that our FNG may not know the lay of the land… He ended up taking a wrong turn, and we had to send out a search party. He was 80% named at that point (Waldo). The W got changed to a B during the COT due to cranial physique.

MARY:
Out of time today. Thanks Abu and Tank for teaming up to bring the sandbag back to the AO!

EV1 – PAX broken up into 2 groups.  The first group repeated a combination of shoulder taps and alternating single leg lifts while the second group ran to the Flagpole to complete 10 body builders.  Each group completed 2 sets of each exercise and then moved to the Bathhouse for EV2.

EV2 – One group completed AMRAP on “Hanging Imperials” (hang from pullup bar while alternating front knee raises) while the other group ran to the Pavilon picnic tables for 10 Derkins.  Each group completed 3 sets of each exercise and then moved to the Picnic for EV3

EV3 – One group held an elbow plank while the other group ran around Stonehenge and back.  PAX were reminded to push the running pace to relieve those who were holding planks, and in turn to hold the planks out of respect for those who were pushing the pace for them.  Each group completed 4 sets of each exercise and moved to the Rock Pile for EV4

EV4 – Rock PT – PAX were encouraged to select a heavy rock, and complete 2 sets of each of the following: bicep 21’s (7 low to mid, 7 mid to high, 7 full), triceps extensions, and lying chest press.  Moved back to AO once complete.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 2:19-22 – Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.  In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.  And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his spirit.

God is constantly pursuing us in an effort to draw nearer, and for the purpose of building us into the version of ourselves that is most useful to his kingdom.  Recognize that you are where you are, and with who you are with for a reason.  Take time to pray, read, and listen so that God can guide you to where he wants you to be and know that where God guides God provides.
