COT:
We talked about anger, and I shared a personal story about my issues with anger. It was based on a reminder from Borg in this message below.
Borg posted this in the 3rd F channel today, and as someone who has struggled with anger in the past, I thought this as worthy to share here.

Emotion and logic create a spectrum. A man must prepare for his anger by knowing that the more emotional he is, the less likely it is that he is thinking logically. That is a fact. A man who accepts that fact is better able to push aside the emotion (which is difficult, but entirely his choice from within himself) and listen to hard words (from outside of who he is) even when he is really pissed off. The Bible shares some “wisdom without ideological borders” on this: The verse from James, below, speaks for itself. I would guess that we all can look back on a time we can’t fix where we let our anger do the walking and the results were not good.
“You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” James 1:19
For the verse below, if you don’t believe in sin, listen to the ancients, who I used to sit with at the city gates. They would tell me,
“When you are angry, do not be a jackass.” (They knew me so well.)
The Bible phrases it differently.
“In your anger do not sin.” Ephesians 4:26
Simple to write, but not easy to execute well. That is one reason we do hard things together, so we get better together.

Old Faithful in Reverse

We took a lap while waiting for Eliza. We then did the CAK loop in reverse. We talked about this passage below in the COT.

Here is an excerpt from the Q Source.
While I write from the Christian perspective (because that is what I have come to believe), it is not my intent here to proselytize. The QSource does not prescribe any particular religion, but rather that a man must have some kind of belief system to Accelerate his Faith. By Belief System, we mean the conviction that there is a supernatural governing force outside of oneself that provides an ordered explanation for our existence and delivers consequences for the violation of that order.
In support of that contention, let’s recall a few core concepts of the QSource. A Leader is a person who is able to influence other people to Move to Advantage. Movement is action taken to further Purpose, and Advantage is a superior circumstance achieved by that Movement. Leaders are Disruptive in that they cause a disturbance to a Group’s Status Quo by first visualizing an Advantage and then articulating it to the Group’s Members so persuasively that they begin to Move toward it.

COT:

Psalm 107

Thus is a great chapter to study. It shows the progression of the human race and how followers of God will fall into sin or go through a hard season in life, cry out to God, he listens and reacts. Then we should follow up with praise and worship even when the outcome is not according to our will.

I challenge you to read the whole chapter and spend time asking God to reveal moments in your past or present that he wants you to reflect on. Write it out. Tell him how dark and hard it was. Document where you heard or felt God’s presence in that even if it was 20 years later when you felt redeemed by God.

THE THANG:

The CMU pile looks terrible. Besides the fact that all of our good coupons have been pinched, a big rubble pile has developed. It was time to clean up the house a bit and take stock of our supply.

So today we picked up as many of the broken pieces carried them to and dropped them in my trailer then did an exercise listed on a card. Repeat till all of the debris was cleared and the trailer was full. We then organized the CMUs. These are the exercises.

10 shoulder taps
10 squats
10 extra wide merkins
10 SSH
10 Big Boys
10 Diamond Merks
10 Flutters
10 Iron Mikes
10 mountain climbers
1 burpee

After clean up was over we ran to the pull up bar. We worked on slow pull downs. Start at the top and slowly drop taking about 10 secs each time. Do it about 3x. While waiting hold plank or alternate between 15 merkins and 15 squats.

Finally we ended up at the playground for a mini obstacle course. Start at the bench and do 15 dips, go down the slide, do 3 burpees, go to swings and do 15 reverse rows, then do 15 chuck Norris merkins, and finally mosey across the bridge and back around to the bench where we started. We did this 3x. Held plan for the 6.

COT:
I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I hope you all have taken a moment to ponder the mystery. Did you ever wonder if Easter wasn’t real? Maybe it is all fake? We can certainly say that the course of Western History was changed for the good because of the events around Easter. Something did happen. But really the point of Easter is that God brings the dead to life. It’s a revolutionary concept that if we believe our lives cannot be the same. The living don’t act like dead things. That’s just not logical. If alive, why act like a corpse?

So do you think Easter happened? Do you live like it did?
