CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”

James 5:19‭-‬20 NASB

There is so much in the book of James. This particular passage points to our responsibility to turn back an erring brother from sin. Of course, we ourselves are only helping to point out the error in their life. God will provide forgiveness.  Note that if they need to be turned back, that means that they once were in the truth. Not only do we have the responsibility to help correct, but we have to have the humility to accept correction as well. Be willing to face your brother one-on-one. No gossip but straight to the source.

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the base of jucamajaro, with a stop at the guardrail for some dips.

At every other line we did an exercise till the 6 was up and then did a few more.  Ran 2 lines, repeat.  Merkins, downhill merkins, Squats, LBC’s, downhill bbs, lots of abs on the way down.  This is where the jokes started and it was all downhill from there.

Dirkins on the guardrail, some SSH and other things till be bernie’d up the hill to the pull up bars.  3 pull ups, then we had to get some steps to make the middle bar closer.  1 CMU rifle carry, 2nd time Curls.  2 bricks was enough for the Q to reach the high bar, double carry down.  Indian run back with the line bernie and the back running to the front.  Jokes got so bad we did some Burpies and a ring of fire.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.  Romans 12:9-13

This passage made me think of the story I heard recently.  With all the horror of Afghanistan the story of one TN marine who was not slothful in zeal but was fervent in spirit and served the Lord by serving his dear brother, his interpreter from his time in Afghanistan.  His love, being genuine, flowed naturally to giving to the needs of others and showing hospitality.

Challenge 1: Read https://mydearbrother.org/ and as the Lord leads consider giving https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-friend-my-interpreter

Challenge: Memorize the above passage.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
IPC on Friday!  Keep on pushing it.

Fill up the calendar or you’ll have more poorly planned Q’s that go from Jucomajaro to the pull up bars with jokes that make it feel twice as long.

Short worried about sacrifice and helping others. Spent most of the BOM talking about the Hardship Hill and participation from the PAX.
MOLESKIN:
Man! there is a lot of goose poop at the JUCO. I went to set up early this morning and the parking lot I was going to use was literally filled with hundreds of geese and thousands upon thousands of piles of goose poop. No go. I found a much better parking lot above and to the side of the school. Freshly paved no pebbles, perfect for today’s workout. It’s amazing how much poop a goose can churn out for the size of that animal. I mean, take a look at an Alpaca. It’s a big animal and it poops out little rabbit pellets. Did you know that alpaca poop is actually referred to as black gold. It is highly sought after for fertilizer. Also, alpacas and llamas are not the same animal. One time I did a llama race for charity. I got to run around the lawn at worlds fair park with a llama named Betty I think. I’m not real good with horse size animals. Never really get along with horses very well. I’m not intimidated by much, but horses are so big and one kick in the Jimmy would put you down for a long time. Well, I gotta get to work so no more time for the rambling poetic waxing of this PAX member. I will leave you with this. The only thing worse than it raining after you washed your car is having to poop after you get out of the shower. Leave a 💩 emoji on the slack post it you read this far and you will be an honorary member of the I read Tank’s BB club.
