COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Prudence/Wisdom – the ability to govern and discipline oneself through the use of reason.

This kind of wisdom is primarily practical, not intellectual. It guides the other cardinal virtues.

These virtues are espoused by many including Plato and Aristotle. They are considered attainable by one’s own power. This is in contrast to the Theological virtues of Hope, Faith, and Caritas (love).

I think of these as starting at the base and moving upward.
Temperance – self-regulation of the physical desires
Fortitude – self-regulation of the emotional desires
Justice – self-regulation of interpersonal relationships
Wisdom – Self-regulation of the Self-regulation. Wisdom keeps the other virtues virtuous, preventing them from falling into a source of self righteousness or from becoming an end of itself.

MOLESKIN:
Hand-walking on the pool wall was MUCH tougher than I expected.

COT –Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. 2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.
Each man has his own race, the race of faith, to run that God has set before us. “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus…”

Proverbs 1-10

THE SCENE: Cool and clear.  High 50s
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Shared the good word at the beginning:  Deuteronomy 11:18-19 – You shall therefore lay up these words of min in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, an they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you like down, and when you rise up.

The goal is to remember and dwell on the Proverbs we are going to hear and experience today.

  1. Side straddle hop
  2. Overhead clap
  3. Tempo squat
  4. Cherry picker
  5. Moroccan night club

THA-THANG:
Run to K25 hill and read a verse from Proverbs.  Each verse has a related exercise.  Perform the exercise for 1 minute and then run up and down the hill.  There are also exercises at the top of the hill.

  1. 1:7 – The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. —burpees (20 squats at top)
  2. 2:4 – (regarding wisdom) if you seek it like silver and search for it as hidden treasures, —bear crawl up the hill (20 merkins at top)
  3. 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. — Al Gore (20 squats at top)
  4. 4:12 – (regarding teaching wisdom) When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble. — Bernie up the hill (20 merkins at top)
  5. 5:7-10 – (warning against adultery) And now, O sons, listen to me, and do not depart from the words of my mouth. Keep your way far from her, and do not go near the door of her house, lest you give your honor to others and your years to the merciless, lest strangers take their fill of your strength, and your labors go to the house of a foreigner, — side plank (ear to ground) (40 lbc’s at top)
  6. 6:9-11 – How long will you lie there, O sluggard?  When will you arise from your sleep?  A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.  — stargazer (10 basilisks at top)
  7. 7:25 – Let not your heart turn aside to her ways; do not stray into her paths, — lunges (40 lbc’s at top)
  8. 8:14 – I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. – merkins (10 basilisks at top)
  9. 9:7-9 – Whoever corrects a scoffer gets himself abuse, and he who reproves a wicked man incurs injury.  Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you; reprove a wise man, and he will love you.  Give instruction[b] to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. — burpees (40 lbc’s at top)
  10. 10:19 – When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. — Freddy Mercury (10 basilisks at top)

We had extra time and Q had Slappy and Kickflip pick number from the list to repeat.  Proverbs 7 and 5 were chosen.  PAX then RTB (returned to base)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Deuteronomy 11:18-19 – You shall therefore lay up these words of min in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, an they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.  You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you like down, and when you rise up.

Remember and think on these proverbs.  Teach them to your children.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
6 got it done today at the Project. Welcome back Chaco!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.”

Philippians 2:3‭-‬7 NASB

YHC has shared this passage before, but I feel strongly enough about its message to share again. I think this is a passage that we should read daily as a reminder. Think of the impact one can have by thinking of another person as more important than themselves. This could be as simple as letting someone merge infront of you at an on-ramp. Or perhaps wearing a mask despite your own convictions just to make someone else more comfortable. This year YHC has seen so much division associated with COVID-19. I would have thought that Christian’s would have been very willing to accept discomfort for the sake of someone else. I was wrong. Jesus showed us the ultimate example of humility and willingness to give preference to others by giving up His place in Heaven to come to this filthy, sin-covered earth to die. He knew that His death was the only way we would get a chance at paradise in Heaven. Think about this message the next time you encounter an opportunity to comply with someone else’s preference for their sake.

MOLESKIN:
Everyone got through one full round plus a little extra.
