Quicker than normal…running late!

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20  with increasing speed

THA-THANG:
8 stations set up in front of the outhouse.  2 minutes at each station then rotate to the next.  The jump rope station was in the middle so, naturally, we used that as the catalyst to “encourage” (pronounced: make fun of) the person jumping rope!  All this while Lynyrd Skynyrd played blissfully in the background….good times.

  2. Squats (60 sandbag)
  3. Calf Raises (40 sandbag)
  4. Kettlebell swings (35, 40 bells)

  8. Jump Rope

Shooter and Wagon Wheel somehow managed to break 2 jump ropes today…clearly millennials struggle in this area.  Shooter eventually resorted to air jumping, with fancy tricks!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Ecclesiastes 4:9 •
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.”

When individuals work together, they can double their strength and get much more done as a team. They also reap the value of having worked in unison, thus creating harmony instead of disorder. Working as one people begins with the efforts of each person, as they work with another person.

• Proverbs 27:17•
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so man sharpens another.”

A team has checks and balances, one person watches the other one’s back. They help them if they falter or lose sight of the goal, just like in friendship. A good friend isn’t someone who always agrees with you, what you do, or what you say. A real friend is someone that is willing to challenge you, to be better as a person. A team player encourages his fellow team mates to be better players. Teamwork and friendship both work in very similar ways.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I have been challenged at work recently with an expectation additional leadership. Basically, have to figure out what I need to be doing on the fly. I have come to see the correlation of this to life in general. We say a lot: “Embrace the suck” but we should also include “Embrace the challenge”. Today’s PAX embraced the challenges that were thrown at them and excelled. HUGE shout out to everyone for encouraging those thrust into these positions this morning.

MOLESKIN:

Praise for prayers answered:

Waxjob has a contract on his house!!!

My father has had some heart trouble recently and we got some good news this week. Diagnosis isn’t as dire as originally suspected but still serious. Thanks to all the prayer warriors, it was drastically impactful and immensely appreciated.

Prayers needed:

Family that @Bartman works with had an unexpected death in the family. It’s hard to lose someone but especially hard when that family should have had a much longer time with them.

Waxjob needs a place to live for a month. If you know anyone that can rent a spot for a month, let him know.
