Pick your Pain – Further you run – less reps.   Everyone got to choose their distance each exercise.  If you choose to stop at first cone (10 reps x exercise multiplier), second cone (8 reps x exercise multiplier), third cone (6 reps x exercise multiplier), fourth cone (4 reps x exercise multiplier), fifth cone (2 reps x exercise multiplier), or just keep running to the top if you hate the exercise.

Burpees – x2

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

As those that have been around and heard me share over the past year there is normally a common theme where I share where God has used many people in my life to share the same message over and over again until my stubbornness is overcome and I am willingness to stop and listen.   Felt like that happened again this week.   Through the JUCO-Challenge where each day several brothers have been sharing scripture or inspirational messages Kick-Flip the other day shared this quote from Charles Dickens “Reflect upon your present blessings—of which every man has many—not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”

Probably less than 24 hours later, I watched my wife struggle in pain after having surgery and hear her whisper more or less the same thing.   She said it’s days like these that I realize how much I take for granted just a normal day.   We remember the blessings on the special days, but what about the normal days.    Do we still see the abundance of blessings in the normal days.     A normal day where the sun rises and you wake up warm and dry in a cozy bed, a normal day where there is an abundance of options for what to eat or what to wear, a normal day where you have a job to do and a car to get you there.   A normal day where we are surrounded by friends and family.    I am guilty way too often of taking for granted the normal days.  All across the globe and even in our local Hardin Valley community for many of our neighbors their normal day doesn’t look any like what I described.    Judge has challenged us to step up our game in serving those around us where normal is different.    Let’s rise to the challenge men.   We are called to be different, looks different, act different, love different, serve different.   Remember what Jesus told his disciples in Mark 10:45   “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.””

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Still collecting coats – let’s finish strong – reach out to a few friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc and see what you can gather up for those in need.
