THA-THANG:
The Pax picked up their blocks of woe and we moseyed to the fountain. From there, we split into 1 and 2. One representative from each group drew cards for the high card. Whoever won, ran the loop. Whoever lost, farmer carried two CMU’s one whole loop and called out exercises for the other pax to do. Crowd favorites were as follows…

  • Burpees
  • WWII’s
  • Dry Docks
  • T-Merkins
  • Flutter kicks.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Selections from Judges 16.
MOLESKIN:
The thrust of what I talked about is the fact that Samson acted like an idiot with Delilah. He knew this woman did not have his best interest at heart, and still continued in his relationship to her after multiple times where she proved untrustworthy. I think Samson did that because he relied on himself and his strength to get out of his trouble. However, once he revealed his heart to Delilah, Judges 16:20 records some of the most frightening words in Scripture, “But he did not know that the Lord had left him.” To be honest, I think we all have a little Samson inside of us. We think we can master or control or lives. Many times that will evidence itself in how we think we have sin under control. We sometimes live like we can play with sin and never get hurt. I encouraged us all to be quick to repent and find forgiveness because sin bites, kills, and separates.

Exodus 33:19 – “… And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.”

As disciples of Yeshua, we are called to love all.  Lovingly correct sinful behavior of fellow disciples and love those who do not hold themselves to the teachings of Christ and law of YHWH as a means to show them Christ.

As I struggle with wanting to shake people out of their sinful nature (mainly those who are not disciples of Christ), I am constantly reminded that it is not my job.  It is my job to love those individuals and let the light of YHWH show through the love I am showing those individuals and let YHWH take care of the rest.  He is in control of everything and his thoughts are higher than mine and his ways are higher than mine.  Loving people is not the same as condoning a person’s choices.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
AOQ flag hand off at Bomb Shelter to Espy.  Breakfast at Drifter’s following the beatdown.  New AOQ in Seymour (The Speedway) starting April 19 at 5:30 AM.  Tuesday/Thursday 5:30 – 6:15 AM.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We as men are called to be leaders for our families. Our families will tend to go both mentally and spiritually in the same direction we are headed.

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.””

‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We have probably all heard the last part of that verse before and maybe even have it hanging up in our house somewhere. Joshua was commanding the people that he led to chose who they would follow. He was getting ready to die and wanted to encourage the Israelites to follow God. He knew that it started with him being the leader of his own family. How are each of us leading our families?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Awhile back someone contacted me about becoming a travel agent so I sent her all the info to apply.  A few weeks later she let me know that she had decided not to pursue it because she felt she just didn’t have the time to dedicate to it.  I told her that seemed wise and that life without time isn’t truly living.

So often every minute of our lives are filled with something to do and if we don’t actually have something to do, we often find something meaningless to fill it with.  We’ve been programed to be uncomfortable with silence, with stillness.  I encourage you to be okay with silence and stillness.  Actually, I challenge you to build it into your day/week.  It might mean saying “no” to some things, even some things that are good (not F3 though).

MOLESKIN:
We made it threw the deck.  I was accused of stacking the deck.  To their credit, I only drew one burpee card and it was a 10.
