Ssh, baby arm circles, Moroccan nightclub windmills, tempo mericans etc

THE THANG:
Mosey to guardrail. We tried to do dips while every guy had a turn to do prison cell Merkin burpees. Too many guys so we added in Arkansas on the guardrail.

Mosey to the base of jucomajaro where we cycle through five exercises well one guy would run in touch the gate. Merkins, squats. Donkey kicks, rainbow drops and lunges

Mosey to award winning Hill. The packs bear crawled while one ran for the summit. Then the packs duck walked while another one ran for the summit.

Some other thing with abs in the parking lot where we cycle through six exercises while one or two guys would run to an assigned spot and back.

MARY: dealers choice.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: mentorship matters. Be intentional about it.
If you think you are too young:
1Tim 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech in contact and love and in purity.”
That is a huge and intimidating list but be encouraged. 2 Tim 1:7
For God have us not a spirit of great but if power, love and self control.
Perhaps you don’t know what it takes. It’s not real complicated. You have conversation. You invite a guy out for coffee and ask deep questions and answer well.

COT:
We can live a life of honor on the outside, if we live with joy on the inside.

Joy is our job. We speak life!

I went to Dollywood yesterday with my family. We had some passes we traded for concert tickets last year. When we got to the gate, they wouldn’t scan… We were advised to go to the ticket booth to figure it out. They told us the tickets had already been used. Now what?!
I was confused and angry. My family was upset. I chose joy. I went to the ticket booth and purchased 4 tickets and paid a lot more than I was expecting.

We had a blast ???? I rode roller coasters with my wife and kids. My youngest is 8, so this was a new experience. I don’t know if it was because we were there during the week, or the weather was predicted to be dicey, but the lines were short. We stayed all day and watched the fireworks and drone show last night. It was amazing ????

When we choose joy as our job, we show up, we don’t shut down.

When joy is our job, we do not cover, we confront!

“ Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”
-Romans 12:10

Joyful surprise….was completely blown away to see two of my cousins show up to my mom’s graveside service to support my brother and me. Unexpected unconditional kindness is pretty uncommon, but leaves such a last impression. How can you go out of your way to show unexpected unconditional kindness to others this week?

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬ ‭NIV‬‬

COT:
Doing a lot of traveling to visit my team at other sites, it validated to me that there is a lot more behind the scenes than our perceptions may have. We often jump to conclusions and need to remember to ask people questions and consider what you can do to help them. This plays out in our daily lives as we interact with coworkers, family, friends…but for me it’s my son. It’s hard not to judge the actions of a teenager but talking with him has brought out soo much that I would have improperly assumed otherwise. Be intentional to connect with people and not derive your own perception of other people actions and intentions.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬
