Being 50 looks good …..if you are 60

Box Dodge

Every HIM has a puzzle box approximately 1 ft x 1 ft size.  You have to hold the box above your head like a waiter at a restaurant when they carry their trays.  You can switch hands when shoulder starts to get tired.  You try to knock each others box out of each others hand.  Grid with 9 guys was about 45 ft x 45ft (playing space).  If you lose your box, you have to step out of the grid and do 5 burpees.  You cannot grab the box if someone knocks it but if you can stabilize it with your finger tips then you are good.  If it falls or you grab it, get on those burpees.

I have seen this done with pizza boxes and it is far more interesting because they are bigger but can be more easily stabilized.

MARY:
I don’t remember this either but we did a little random exercise-o-rama for time and got 4 HIMs involved.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No specific Biblical text but was watching The Chosen Season 1 Episode 8 when Yeshua was talking to the Samaritan woman at the well.  At one point she says, “You picked the wrong person.”  and “I’m rejected by others.” to which Yeshua says, “I know but not by the Messiah.”  While this is not in the Bible, it resonates tremendously in my spirit.  I am ashamedly guilty of judging a book by its cover but not YHWH.  He looks beyond what our eyes see and sees every person he created for who they really are.  We are never to be the judge in this world.  Yeshua called us to love and it is through our love that we show those around us how we are different.  Only when people ask should we offer our views and thoughts from a place of love rather than cramming them down peoples’ throats even though I am guilty of wanting to shake those who do not know, or willingly ignore, they are living apart from YHWH.  YHWH is the only true and righteous judge.  His ways are higher than ours and his thoughts are higher than ours.

I had a quarterly leadership review last week at work. It was a fine meeting but I failed at the leadership improvement aspect. I’ve currently been occupied with supporting my team that I’ve not invested the time to improving as a leader. I’m asking the pax to help hold me accountable for investing time daily into my development. Including reading and take notes on my reading. Also organizing my learning materials to take better advantage of them.
MOLESKIN:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m in Customer Experience for my job, and I just got back from Disney world. A good book on the topic is the Experience Economy. It talks about the progression of economic value. How we started in a commodity based economy, progressed to goods, then service, and now Experience. At each level, people attribute a hire value and are willing to pay more for it. Hence, me paying way more than I should on stuffed animals at Disney. Anyway, the point being that an even higher economic offering is transformation. The best example is working out. You subject yourself to a bunch of uncomfortable experiences for the end result of a physical transformation in your body. And Disney is fun, but the more meaningful time I spend in the long run is in the things that invest in my own transformation. So where are you placing value? On stuff? On kicking back and having cool experiences? Or on investing time in transformation, physical, spiritual, etc.?
