Mosey to CMU pile

Grab a block and take it to the other side of the bus. Line up across on a parking space. 

Each line you do: 10 Curls, 10 presses, 10 squats – then move your CMU to the next line, run to the grass then come back to do it again, and again, until we make it to the last line. I didn’t count the lines, but it was about 10-12 lines total that we completed. 

CMU drag back up to the pile which was a leg burner.

We rolled the dice for the last 2 minutes and ended up having to do 15 burpees.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

James 1: 19-20

19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

Listen is the key word for me. 

I need to set aside my selfishness and value others around me when they talk. It’s tempting for me to focus on what I want to say, but it can really mean a lot to our friends, family and strangers if we give them 100% of our attention. 

MOLESKIN:
Mermaid’s uncle in nursing home. DumpsterDive’s grandmother. My buddy Jordan.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Psalm 62:5-7

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,

for my hope is from him.

He alone is my rock and my salvation,

my fortress; I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my salvation and my glory;

my mighty rock, my refuge is God.

I love how David gives names like like Mighty Rock to God. What names can we give God? Instead of my typical prayers of requests to God, what can I praise him for?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With Thanksgiving next week, and my busyness, I am not always good about taking time to reflect on things I am thankful for.  We all took a moment to share one of those things.  We were reminded that some of the things in our lives are things that we take for granted, and those very things would be the answer to others prayers. The challenge was to remember and reflect on thins we are thankful for, and things we take for granted, and as we approach Thanksgiving, that we get our minds right and put the proper things in perspective.

Running around the track stop at every station and do 10 of the exercises. Second time around the track do the second exercise listed. If there is one. Third time go back to first. And so forth. If you want, you are allowed to pass a cone and not do that exercise. But every cone passed increases the number of exercises by 10. If you pass 1 cone, then you do 20 at the next cone. You then drop back to 10. So, you can make this go as you want. You could run the entire time and not do any exercises. On your honor. Work yourself out as hard or easy as you want.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 good men got better.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“If a guy cuts you off in traffic, you can take that as “drop dead” and respond in kind. Or you can just assume that he is a bad driver and keep driving reasonably. If you choose the former, that means that you too become a bad driver and may provoke another negative response from him. A good driver wouldn’t do that because it might disrupt him from getting to his destination safely, which is the whole purpose in driving, to get where you are going in one piece.”
With your goals, don’t let the bad change you in a way that could keep you from where you want to end up.

 

MOLESKIN:
For all of our families and coworkers.  For Pom Pom and his competitors next week. Just a wee bit more for Pom Pom.  For the unsaid prayers in our hearts.
