Little known facts about Laziness #1

Lazy are good at risk assessment

Prov 22:13

The sluggard says there is a lion outside. I shall be killed in the streets!

Notice the sarcasm. Proverbs isn’t very gentle to the lazy.

Prov 26:13

The sluggard says “There is a loin in the road! There is a loin in the streets!”

Again about the lion in the road. The lazy guy sure is milking this lion excuse. This is repeated twice which is interesting. Some of the sharpest criticism in proverbs is directed toward the lazy.

Prov 20:4

The sluggard does not plow in autumn. He will seek out the harvest and have nothing.

At  least the excuse has changed here. The sluggard has moved on. The idea of autumn is that it’s a little cold or chilly. It’s just a little hard to do the work right now. Something to keep in mind, I might have to try it out next winter.

Proverbs paints a picture or holds up a mirror. This is what laziness looks like. We have a chance to look at it and consider if it’s us. What in our life might look like this.

Today, consider this picture. Do you see yourself?

More little known facts about laziness to come.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

On June 28, 2005, Lt. Murphy was the officer-in-charge of a four-man SEAL element in support of Operation Red Wing tasked with finding key anti-coalition militia commander in Afghanistan. Shortly after inserting into the objective area, the SEALs were spotted by three goat herders who were initially detained and then released. It is believed the goat herders immediately reported the SEALs’ presence to Taliban fighters.

A fierce gun battle ensued on the steep face of the mountain between the SEALs and a much larger enemy force. Despite the intensity of the firefight and suffering grave gunshot wounds himself, Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates.

By the end of a two-hour gunfight that careened through the hills and over cliffs, Murphy, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class (SEAL) Danny Dietz and Sonar Technician 2nd Class (SEAL) Matthew Axelson had fallen. An estimated 35 Taliban were also dead.  The fourth SEAL, Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SEAL) Marcus Luttrell, was blasted over a ridge by a rocket-propelled grenade and knocked unconscious. Though severely wounded, the fourth SEAL and sole survivor, Luttrell, was able to evade the enemy for nearly a day; after which local nationals came to his aide, carrying him to a nearby village where they kept him for three more days. Luttrell was rescued by U.S. Forces on July 2, 2005.

Lt. Murphy was buried at Calverton National Cemetery less than 20 miles from his childhood home. Lt. Murphy’s other personal awards include the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Ribbon and National Defense Service Medal.

Philippians 2:3-4 – Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Hebrews 13:16 – Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God
1 John 4:7 – Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

John 13:34 – A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Philippians 2:3-4 – Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Galatians 6:2 – Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

Two things to think about on this verse. 1 – Don’t be afraid to ask for help from others when you need it. 2 – Step up and help people without them having to ask. How often do we tell someone, “Let me know if you need anything!” and how often do they actually ask for anything? Be proactive in helping others and don’t be too proud to ask for help yourself. In this way, we fulfill/obey the law of Christ.

We played “Encantados”. We divided in two teams, the objective was to capture all the other team members in less than 5 mins. If you get caught, then you will do 20 merkins and 20 squats. If all your team is captured, the whole team will do 20 burpees as punishment :). We had a lot of fun and it was really hard to chase some of the fellas, they were expert dodgers :).

We mosey to the soccer fields, but on our way we performed some fun exercises:

  • 20 box jumps.
  • 20 Derkins.
  • 20 Toe Merkins.
  • 20 Dips.
  • 20 BBS.
  • 20 Heels to Heaven.

At the soccer field we played some penalty kicks. We regrouped again in teams, if the team scored, they would decide what exercise the other team would do and it would be repeated 20 times. We ended up doing the exercises all together since the our team was not that expert with the ball :).

Mosey to the Flag and 20 more squats.
