COT:
I have a framed print in my living room. A few years ago, an acquaintance of mine who owned a print shop had created a bunch of these for the church to distribute as gifts to the congregation. I thought it was cool and catchy at the time, and so I had it framed. Just the other day, I passed by it and read the words again. This time, it just struck me in a different way. In a very enlightening and hopeful way. I don’t exactly know who the author is but here’s what it says:

“Who you are & WHO YOU ARE NOT
IS UNIQUELY DESIGNED to offer
Christ’s Life to THE WORLD.

How YOU ARE GIFTED &
HOW YOU ARE not GIFTED-
THIS IS DESIGNED FOR HOW YOU’RE TO MAKE CHRIST KNOWN TO THE WORLD.

What YOU POSSESS &
WHAT YOU DO NOT POSSESS
IS UNIQUELY DESIGNED TO MAKE HIM KNOWN.

What you CAN DO & what
YOU CANNOT DO IS HIS
DESIGN TO MAKE HIMSELF KNOWN THROUGH YOU.

You are UNIQUELY DESIGNED to offer Christ
AND IT IS YOUR LACK (who you are not, what you don’t possess, what you can’t do) THAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL PART OF THE STORY.

THAT’S the GOSPEL!”

It’s hard to add to that. Embrace the man you were created to be, with all of your gifts and brokenness. It’s not about your resume and as we learn, it’s really not about us. It’s all His!

Isaiah 40:8 – The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

I hope that is encouraging as you leave here today.

FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
WARMUP:
Plenty of stretching

THE THANG:
I came bearing gifts…CMUs

Partner up. One partner farmer carries CMU down US parking lot. Other partner does 3 BBS and runs to catch partner, then switch.

Stationed at LS cafeteria. Dora-style workout. One partner completes exercise while other moves to bus and back. One twist – both partner’s CMU must be used at all times.

Exercises were:
-rows
-walls sits
-OH press
-toe merkins
-curls

Completed two rounds then slowesy to mid point of parking lot where we resumed our first exercise making our way up behind the US to the resting place for the CMUs under the softball ramp.

Stopped at the turf for 10 no handed getups. Moseyed back to the flag for a few merkins

COT:
Discussed some takeaways from the book “Into the Wild.”
-life with less can be more fulfilling
-experienced are best when shared
-document your own life with pictures and/or journals
-Subject of the book blindly trusted so many strangers for rides, shelter, employment, etc and received a lot of help. What would happen if we all gave people we don’t know the benefit of the doubt? Gave them compassion, love, and respect as the default?

Worth a read, there is also a movie.

THE THANG:
– We ran a sneaky mile around the campus past the flag and ended up next to the Jesus statue.
– Starting at the statue we worked up the ladder. Each parking space (about 20) had an exercise written on a card. Run to the card do 10x of what the card says and run back to Jesus. At Jesus do 3 burpees. We did that for a round and flipped the cards over for the second round and did it again.
MARY:
– No Mary today. We ended perfectly.

COT:
The Master’s was this weekend. I had a couple quotes to share.

“It’s difficult to excel at something you don’t truly enjoy.” – Jack Nicklaus

“Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don’t let somebody else dictate your life’s path.” – Jack Nicklaus

After winning the 2022 Master’s Scottie Scheffler said,” It all goes back to my faith. The reason why I play golf it to glorify God and all that he’s done in my life and so for me my identity isn’t a golf score. All I am trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m in this position, so for me, it’s not about a golf score.”
