CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflecting on the fact that though as men we are called to lead our families, women tend to lead and encourage in other important ways. For example, my wife tends to be quicker to turn to prayer on a given topic whereas I tend to try and wear myself out trying to just take on every struggle. Pay attention to the ways women in your life contribute to the well-being of your family and community. Thank them for it. Encourage them in it. And look for the unique ways you can contribute to the good of your families and community.

II Cor 5:14-15 – “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.”  As believers, Christ’s love should compel us to love other and live selflessly like Jesus did.  Are we living for ourselves or something or someone else?  God calls us to no longer live for ourselves, but for Him.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

During my small group at church last Sunday, we got into a discussion about forgiving others. Forgiving someone is more about taking the weight you are carrying off yourself than anything to do with the person you are forgiving. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean you have to become friends with them or even start to like them. Forgiving someone is not saying their actions were ok or acceptable. Forgiving someone is saying that you are turning it over to God. One particular verse that stuck with me is Genesis 50:19: “But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God?” Joseph is speaking to his brothers after their father dies. His brothers are worried about him paying them back for selling him into slavery all those years before now that their dad is dead. Joseph had every right by human standards to hate and punish his brothers, but he instead forgives them. The challenge this morning is to ask yourself who you need to forgive and in what situation in your life do you need to remember that you are not in the place of God?

Special 7s

THE SCENE: A little (not much) warmer. Like 36 or so. Had just a little bit too much clothing on.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
20 SSH, 10 IC Merkins, 10 IC Squats, 5 Cherry Pickers
THA-THANG:
Special 7s are like normal 7s, but after completing the final 6+1, there is an additional round with 7 reps on each end of the run/hill/what-have-you.

Round 1 on the Grinder. Sideways step ups on one end (1 leg up counts as a half rep, so 2 count?), Pull-ups on the other end. Just run the grinder.

Round 2 on Waxjob hill. Hand release merkins at the top, Donkey Kicks at the bottom. Just run the hill.

Round 3 on a tiny hill next coming up to the grinder. Burpees at the bottom, Big Boy Sit-ups at the top. But here’s the kicker. Crab walk feet first up the hill. Bear Crawl down the hill.

Round 4: Pax Roulette for 15 minutes. One PAX calls out a movement for all others while they complete 5 pull-ups and run back.
MARY:
I guess the Pas Roulette was kind of like a long Mary….

6 PAX! Good work getting out guys!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Been reading in Genesis lately and there is a repeated patterning of 7s. In Genesis, God Shabbat (rested) from all His work on the 7th day. That pattern moves into there being a command to keep the sabbath and make it holy. Then fast forward to Jesus’s day and He is healing a man on the sabbath and it really seems like He could have done it on a different day if He had just waited even a few hours potentially. So, what is He doing? It seems He’s making an even bigger point about being the Lord of the Sabbath than I noticed on readings I’ve done in the past.
Anyway, the point is that I set aside some time to read and really got a lot out of it after doing some work to really slow down and think about it. I encourage you all to read something slowly and carefully this week. There really is no substitute to meditating on something that is well written. It seems like people back in the day made time for it. I don’t know that we today have that much more going on of importance to have an excuse not to slow down every once in a while and read. We just choose to do other frivolous things instead.
