CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke from Matthew 14.  The story of Jesus walking on water.  Prior to walking on water, Jesus told the disciples to get into a boat and go out on the sea.  Later on, while they were on the water a storm came up and they were afraid, then Jesus walked out to the boat and calmed the storm.   This mornings point was that the disciples did exactly as Jesus told them to do, yet they still encountered a storm.  Life is this way – Jesus told us the Christian life would be difficult.  Do not believe the lie that says storms only arise in your life because you are outside of the will of God.  Quite the contrary, storms are often the mark of a Christian following God’s commands.

High Wind Advisory Stand In Q

THE SCENE:

At 4:30am, the alarm sounded along with a massive amount of noise from the heavy rain and high wind.  GroupMe messages started flying around to see if the QIC (Frosty) was going to cancel the workout.  A few shameful posts later and YHC drug himself out of the house in the now misty morning.  After arriving at the AO, YHC found no one in sight and again began the troll on GroupMe.  Many were attempting to arrive only to be turned around or forced back to the fartsack due to downed trees and blocked roadways.  Three vigilant PAX included YHC were able to post.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

Welcome and quick disclaimer due to lost time waiting on PAX to arrive

WARM-O-RAMA:
Short warm-up included the following:

  • SSH – IC x 20
  • Cherry Pickers – IC x 10

THA-THANG:
Due to the spontaneous Q to cover for Frosty, YHC pulled out the FitDeck Exercise Playing Cards.  Pulling one at a time, the PAX made it through around 30 cards before having to call it quits for the morning.  There was no shortage of soaking up the surrounding water, stretching out on all four sides getting better together.  A good amount of mumble chatter occurred along with the surrounding sounds of falling branches and trees.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
3 PAX including YHC (I-Beam), WaxJob and Bueller

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Listened to a good audiobook this week by Billy Crystal and Kevin Cline called “Have a Nice Day”.  The story told of a the final day of a man, actually the POTUS, who was contacted by the Grimm Reaper early one morning.  After some convincing, he was allowed to finish out the day to address some family matters that were incomplete.  The moral of the story was “live every day as if it were your last.”

16 HIMs this morning.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This politics season we have left and right duking it out as usual, which was what prompted this Left and Right Q, but as I worked on the details, God brought to mind a totally different left and right context in Matthew 6:

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Two points from the above… The first is the obvious one – Don’t do good stuff for recognition from man. Second is just one word – “When”, not “If”. It should be the default that we are going to help others – Be on the lookout for opportunities to practice “When”.

MOLESKIN:

WORRYING DOES BO GOOD.

““So I say to you, do not worry about your life—what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? “Look at the birds of the air. They do not sow or reap or gather into barns; yet your Father in heaven feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They neither toil nor spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25-29‬ ‭TLV‬‬
