THA-THANG:

Picked up this Q last-minute, so I got lazy and recycled this month’s “Memory game” Q to yet another AO…

PAX take turns flipping 2 cards. If the cards don’t match, all PAX do BOTH exercises.
If the cards match they’re removed, and PAX just do that exercise followed by running a lap around the parking lot.

The cards:
15 Merkins
15 Dry Docks
10 Iron Mikes (each leg)
10 Squat jump
10 Burpees
15 Monkey Hump 4ct
20 Mtn Climber 4ct
Bear Crawl to light pole, Crawl Bear back
20 Flutter Kicks 4ct
20 Big Boys

I think we only cleared 3 of the pairs, but we saw every card at least once. The monkeys were humped quite thoroughly.

Just got back to the AO in time for 25x Bicycles IC
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
7 HIMs at the Asylum this morning
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m often pretty enthusiastic and excited when I put the EH on a sad clown. I don’t care if he thinks I’m crazy or weird for working out at 5:30 with a bunch of other men. I’m much less bold when it comes to sharing Christ with others, even just for something as simple as inviting them to Church. As Paul said, bodily exercise profits a little, but Godliness is profitable for all things. Since the things of God are for eternity, how much more boldness and urgency should we have when sharing that with others?
MOLESKIN:
Great bunch of HIMs this morning put in some good work. Glad for the opportunity to jump in and burn some goo together!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

4 times in the OT God makes a formal covenant promise with Israel.  The covenant He makes with Abraham is just like the one we talked about.  The dead animals, the pathway, the whole bit.  It’s in Genesis 15.

The special thing about this promise was that God alone walked through the pathway, he didn’t require Abraham to walk through it.  It was as if to say… I want to bless you, and I am asking you to be faithful to Me, to seek Me, and to obey Me…. But regardless of your faithfulness towards me, I will still hold up my end of the bargain and I will be gracious to you.  Out of love, I chose you, no matter how you treat Me.

So, what does that have to do with marriage?

Everything.  Absolutely everything….

So, what should our response be to our spouse on their worst of days?  A selfless love that thinks first of them and their needs.

I mean, imagine for a second if God said to us on our worst of days, “I’m sick of it.  I give up!  You’re just never going to get it.  I’m done with you.”  Noooo… come on.  He is not like that!!  He is patient, He is kind, He is longsuffering with us, He perseveres with us, He is gracious with us, and He forgives us… and our call to love our husband or wife is the same.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My connection to God and to my fellow man is strongest when I have the courage to lower my defenses and allow myself to be vulnerable with others.  When I risk getting hurt is when I gain the most.  Do not be afraid to show weakness.  God said to Paul “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”  (2 Cor. 12:9).  I pray that I have the courage to acknowledge my weakness to others and make myself vulnerable.
MOLESKIN:
2 FNGs today, both named Bryson.  Welcome Churro and Overachiever.  Prayers for Weezy and Gardener and their family as they move to Athens.
