    CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
    It is good to remember that often, ideas have people, not that people have ideas. Be careful when making decisions to avoid falling into the trap of attempting to justify decisions after making them.

THA-THANG:

  1. Split into 2 teams.  Each team had 4-5 CMUs, 4-5 pee rocks, a 70lb kettlebell and an 87lb steel gas can.  Mosey/ruck as a team to the paved hill by the restaurant carrying all of the team’s weight.  Once we reached the hill it was time to build some towers.  Each team had to climb the hill with all of their weight.  Once at the top they could drop 1 item of the team’s choosing and perform 3 burpees as a group.  Then take everything else back down the hill where the group performed 5 squats with whatever weight you were holding at the time.  Rinse & repeat until all weights have been left at the top of the hill.   Teams competed to stack the weight at the top of the hill into the tallest tower possible….tallest tower wins!  All in all it was a pretty good workout….each team made 11 trips up the hill carrying different amounts of weight.
  2. Mosey/ruck everything back to the AO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Ecclesiastes 4:12 talks about a chord of 3 strands and that it is not easily broken.  This is often talked about in light of marriage, which is absolutely correct.  We need a chord of 3 strands (husband, wife, Christ) to have the strength to endure all life throws at us.   But I believe the “3 strand” analogy also applies to other facets of our lives.  Friendships, work relationships, mentoring relationships…I could go on and on.   The question is:  are you allowing Christ to be a part of all of your relationships?  Are you squeezing him out so that there are only 2 strands, or are you letting him in to provide the strength of the 3rd strand?

MOLESKIN:

  • Lots of travel this week…I hope everyone stays safe on the road and enjoys the Thanksgiving holiday!

BOM:
What does it mean to wait on God? The bible tells us many times to “wait on the Lord” – in most instances it is referring to the Lord’s return, but there are situations where it’s also talking about waiting on the Lord to move in a situation. What should we do while we’re waiting? When the Bible says to wait on God – the translations mean to wait with eager expectation, as though we know something is about to happen. We all have situations where we’re asking God for help. While we are waiting we should be doing everything we can to help ourselves: pray about it, be obedient to Gods word, and have faith & confidence that he will indeed move in his perfect time. In doing these things we take an active role in waiting instead of just sitting around passively.
