CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

you are not guaranteed tomorrow, cherish today.  My wife was in AZ all week taking care of her Grandparents, who really had no idea who each other are and they are struggling with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.   While she was there they started looking at Photo albums that my wife hadn’t seen.  While looking at them, they started to make comments about how they missed each other.  They had a moment where they remembered each other. A couple that have been married for over 60 yrs were given 5 mins together to remember.  Cherish your loved ones.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jesus teaches us that we are to love even our enemies. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven” Matthew 5:43-45.  This is as much for us as it is for those who do us harm.  Hate is a poison.  But it’s not easy.  God knows that.  We just have to keep trying to be better so we can bring glory to Him.
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Rusty and his wife, Cheatsheet’s family, especially his Mom, and Pusher’s family and Mom.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Forgot to mention this, but in case you read it before Memorial Day, don’t forget about the convergence at 5:30 for an hour, with a focus on remembering our fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could have F3.

11 Babies in 24 Hours

THE SCENE: Humid. Sweaty.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER Charmin is a lawyer, so I’m sure we’re covered
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH, Old Man Windmills, Peter Parker Merkins, BACs, OHCs, reverse until arms fall off
THA-THANG:

First of all, it was Charmin, Hands, and YHC, and between the three of us, we had delivered a combined 11 babies in the preceding 24 hours. So we probably deserve some kind of F3 award for that.

But even heroes need to work out.  Thursday morning and a small crew means it’s time to mosey, so we did. Down to the pier, where we did some abs (although with Charmin, you can’t shred what’s already shredded) and ran some laps. 

Took the fragrant route down to the sewage plant, and up to the lower parking lot where Knoxville’s Finest apparently decided to reposition some CMUs underneath the neglect-o-matic. We thought we might as well use them, so Curls, Presses, Squats, Hands’ Signature Shrug (™), Rows, and more curls while we watched a beautiful sunrise. Plus some more running.

Last mosey up to the AO and just enough time for a fast trip up mini cardiac with 2 burpees to top it off.

MARY:
Pro tip, if you time things right, you can avoid Mary.

MOLESKIN:
From Brother Lawrence, a cook who knew a thing or two about work, worship, and a life well lived:

We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of Him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before Him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king. It is enough for me to pick up but a straw from the ground for the love of God.

38 HIMs including 1 FNG – Welcome ‘Goober’

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Crucifixion Love is the love that Christ showed us. He loved us even though we didn’t deserve it. His Love for us was not predicated on us first loving Him.

Reciprocation Love is loving someone because they’ve first loved us or loving someone with an expectation of something in return. Examples: 1) I’m going to unload the dishwasher so that my wife will notice and that will hopefully lead to sex later on tonight. 2) I’m going to help out with the kids this morning so that my wife will let me go golfing next weekend (and if she says ‘no’, I’ll remind her of how helpful I was with the kids the other day). 3) Or maybe it’s simply that you’re hanging out with someone or being friendly towards them because you’re expecting something in return – you hope to close a business deal, be seen in a certain crowd, you want them to approve of you, etc….

Although we’ll constantly fall short of it in our fleshly bodies, we are called to love others with crucifixion love. Love others even when they don’t deserve it. Love others with no expectation of anything in return.
