CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared a bit about suffering. Last week at the Quacken we talked about how suffering is to be expected. This past Sunday our pastor was talking about how to live faithfully as Christians in the context of suffering and one of his main points was to have the right mindset. Scripture in multiple places tells us to adopt the same thoughts and mindset as that of Jesus, who on the cross said of those who had put Him there “forgive them Father for they know not what they do”. So when we are wronged or hurting what is our mindset? Is it one of self preservation or aggression, or is it similar to Jesus’?

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Arm Circles, Tempo Squats, Tempo Merkins, Cherry Pickers

4 cones were laid out in the parking lot roughly 10 yards apart. We did 4 rounds of work with a mode of transportation between cones, exercises at each cone, followed by 5 Blockees (CMU burpees) and a run up the hill by the church. Each set was followed by a cool down jog (with a soft J) around the parking lot

  • Round 1: Bear Crawl to each cone, 5x Mucho Leg-o’s, 5x Blockees, hill run
  • Round 2: Broad Jumps to each cone, 5x Mucho Arm-o’s’s, 5x Blockees, hill run
  • Round 3: Crab Walk to each cone, 10x American Hammers on 4ct, 5x Blockees, hill run
  • Round 4: Pick Your Poison (any combination of the above), 5x Blockees, hill run

MARY:
Circled up, held a squat while passing the CMUs, once you had the CMU you owed 10 overhead presses
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Last night when I volunteered to Q Filter commented in Slack that he was “ready to suffer”. As I was thinking about what to share I read his comment and realized that that was a very Biblical view on suffering. Scripture actually paints hardship in a somewhat positive light. James says to consider it pure joy whenever we face trials of many kinds, Hebrews encourages us to endure and view suffering the way we would view a son being disciplined by his father, not as punishment but as for the benefit of the son. 1 John says we know when we abide with Christ by if we have joined with Him in His suffering. Culturally we view suffering differently. We avoid it at all costs and often view it as a sign of things gone wrong or heading in the wrong direction. But in reality God uses our suffering to grow and strengthen us while also glorifying Himself. So as men and believers we ought to be, as Filter put it, ready to suffer, knowing that there is fruit to our hardship.

Tag Team with Drive Thru

THE SCENE: 34 and clear
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
We decided to give Swanson a Tuesday off for the first time in forever, so Drive Thru and I did Tag Team Tuesday.  Drive Thru wanted to mop everyone up with the second half, so I took the warm up and first part.
Squat and reach
Moroccan night clubs Postman style (holding squat)
BAC forward and reverse
Six count merkin (combine tempo merkin and T-merkin, didn’t go well)
SSH
THA-THANG:
Quick mosey to coupon pile at L&N and then over to TN War Memorial.  12 minute AMRAP, all with rocks except the lap.

  • Rock swap merkins x10
  • Good mornings x15
  • Lunge with OH press x20
  • Curls x25
  • Job a lap around memorial

I think everyone completed in the range of 3-4 rounds.  Return rocks to the pile and Drive Thru had us mosey over to the base of the Big Ball for some BOMBS.
Partner up and complete Dora style, 2 burpees for the B completed by the man running to the top of the Big Ball stairs.  The partner who stays at the bottom starts with 100 OH claps, then 100 merkin-T’s (T-merkins but had to fit the spelling), 100 BBSUs, and finally 100 squats.  Repeat and relieve each other until complete.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

  • Been reading screw tape letters
    • Mentor demon writing a young demon
  • God calls us, further up further in, but he doesn’t do it for us. He shows us how, he equips us, & then steps back, eagerly waiting for us to do walk our own
    • Like a father, or coach or mentor
  • This is a good thing
  • I’ve been in a desert season spiritually, sometimes calling to the Lord, sometimes not. Asking him to carry me, delivery me & other times just content with having to do anything
    • but what I am hearing from CS Lewis is that I need to walk on my own, for the Lord has equipped me to do so
  • So what is your walking on your own?
    • Is it  getting in the Word Today?
    • Is it stepping up here & leading a workout?
    • Is it going back to church?
    • Is it getting back to planning date night & pursuing your significant other
    • Is it honoring the sabbath?
    • Is it joining our 10week challenge to push yourself
    • Is it calling up your buddy, to ask for accountability with your internet browsing?
Where have you been begging to be carried, that the Lord has given you the means to walk on your own?
  • For me, it’s being in the Word daily, dwelling it for 15minutes, even if I don’t hear anything when I do

MOLESKIN:

“He wants them to learn to walk and must therefore take away His hand; and if only the will to walk is really there He is pleased with their stumbles.”

The 59 “One Another’s” in the New Testament of the Bible

http://storage.cloversites.com/wakarusamissionarychurch/documents/59one_another_scriptures.pdf

There are 59 “One Another’s” in the New Testament of the Bible and I think they’re worth reading over and contemplating over – specifically in terms of the application for our lives as HIM.

So the encouragement is this —> Read it out — pray it out — live it out. Because we can’t “One Another” without one another
