COT:

Talked about Joy and seeing things through glass half full lens despite trials and tribulations life throws our way. Mom’s health struggles and subsequent miracle recoveries and positive attitude through it all has been a blessing in many ways and a gut check as well when I can be frustrated or down despite much better circumstances. Thank you for prayers and checking in. Means a lot.

The Thang:
Metric Workout #1
(Every man will need 1 CMU)

Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Complete as many cumulative reps as you can in that time.

The following list of exercises are performed in sets of 25 reps. After completing a set of 25 reps, put down your CMU, run 25 yards, do 2 burpees, return to your CMU, and continue.

Here are the exercises:

– 150 curls
– 125 heavy squats
– 100 OHP
– 75 CMU swings
– 50 Thrusters
– 25 Blockees
When you finish the Blockees, start back at the top with curls.

It will look like this:

25 curls → 25 yard run → 2 burpees → 25 yard run → 25 curls…repeat until 150 curls are finished, then switch to squats…etc.  

Once through the entire circuit is 525 reps (burpees do not count toward total).

How many cumulative reps can you complete?

MARY:
Flutter kicks and snow angels while the 6 caught up to the group during the Nosey back to the flag.

COT:
Last Thursday I hosted the young professional group from church. There were approximately 28 of them in my home. I loved seeing the good time they were having and the depth of relationships between them because this is the group that my wife and I started 12 years ago and that we stepped out of 5 years ago. The group has had its share of struggles with participation since we left but it has great momentum now and will be a spiritual blessing to each of them as they age as well as to the church. I see it as a spiritual legacy for me.

3 John 1:4 ESV
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

What is your legacy? What will you leave behind if anything? Will it be with family, work, history and or the church?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Phil 4:10-13
I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me

MOLESKIN:
The challenge today was to seek contentment amid the daily grind

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’ve been memorizing verses recently using an app called fighter verses. https://www.fighterverses.com/ Check it out if interested.

One of those verses is Deut 10:12-13:

12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13 and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

— Deut 10:12-13

Two things I’d like to share.

  1. One is a reminder to obey God. These verses do a good job of fleshing out what that looks like.
  2. Two is a reminder it’s for our good. It’s amazing that God would set it up that obeying him is not just for him but also for us. Obey! and rest assured it’s the best thing to do.
