Aiken Wildfire Giants

THE SCENE: Not too chilly..50.  Post rain fresh air.
WARM-O-RAMA:
A few ssh and then off to box-jump country.   In an effort to always keep variety in our recipe we’re rolling throught the Lexicon/Exicon and we are at #9  Aiken Legs  #10 Air Drama Squats  #11 Air Squared … So lets do those.

Two rounds of Aiken Legs is (20 Squats, 20 Box Jumps, 20 Lunges, 20 Split Jacks)..

15 Air Drama Squats  (Squats on curb with Calf raises)

15 Air Squared ( Squat chair while forward extended arm claps in cadence)

THA-THANG:  Looper

An AMRAP in ~ 20 minutes of Seven Exercise stations.  The stations were next to our beloved Maintenance wall by the CMUS. Distribute the 20 HIMs evenly on the stations before beginning.  The stations were

  • 20 Peter Parkers + 5 Stair Climbs
  • 20 Iron Mikes + 5 Stadium Hill Climbs
  • 20 Star Jacks + 5 wall Loops
  • 10 Handstand Pushups + 2 Building Loops
  • 20 A Hammers + CMU + 40 Imperial Squat Walkers
  • 20 Plank Destroyers + 20 Box Jumps (at other building with wall)
  • 20 (3 cmu) Derkins + 1 crab walk around the wall

I cut us off a bit early so we could get in a good ole Mary.

MARY:

  • 50 Hello Dollys
  • 50 Freddy Mercuries
  • 50 LBC
  • WildFire Plank Merkin Raised Alternates.  When Crowder says Wildfire (during the song) do a merkin and finish by raising the opposite arm until the next merkin.  I think it ended up being 3 sets of 6 merkins with several minutes of holding the plank.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“We need not reinvent what a man is, but only rediscover him. How? By forsaking the uncertain sounds of society and hearkening to the war drum of Scripture. God calls us to fellowship with giants — or those who slayed them — great men who have run the race before us and offer their strengths, weaknesses, and sins to instruct us on how to walk before God this side of heaven.” —  Greg Morse.

“Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.”

Psalms 44:5-8 NASB

The bear crawls, lunges and cmu mosey were all from line to line from one end of the lot to the other.

Those that did not report a rep cound are listed with a 480 because I was last and I would have had 480 if I had finished my station when time was up. Therefore, I know they had at least 480.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Referenced the prior message shared about Guardrails we can and should put up in our lives to keep us on the straight and narrow. my personal guard rail being financials. We put ourselves in financial situations trying to “keep up with the Jones” in the society we live in today  where we become enslaved to our debters, and our employers and so on which can in turn put us in less than desireable relationships and situations. a few scriptures that speak about debt and money. Matthew 6:24 New International Version (NIV) 24 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money .Romans 13:8 New International Version (NIV)8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.

Another topic thats been weighing on my mind lately is the false sense of division thats in our country, created by the media, politics and many other things that seem to divide us, all the way down to sports. However, when you get to know your neighbor, step out of your comfort zone and reach out to meet new people, especially those that may not be like you and stop listening to what “The News” or The Politicians want us to believe, we arent all that divided. . when I searched my bible app for the word Division i got about 100 different scriptures that were applicable. Romans 16:17-18 New International Version (NIV)17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.1 Corinthians 1:10-13 New International Version (NIV)10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters,[a] in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[b]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul?

And ultimately, to sum it all up.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 Now all has been heard;
    here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
    for this is the duty of all mankind.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
What does it mean to be a high impact man (HIM)?
“Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.””

THA-THANG:

We going to play a game called “Mutton”.  One PAX is “the sheep” – he wears a flag belt and holds an interval timer (my phone).  The rest of the PAX are “lions”.  Here’s the game;

  • 30 Second Sprint: The Sheep sprints off in whatever direction his chooses… The Lions perform an exercise called by Q (e.g. 3 fairy jacks!), then pursue the Sheep.  If they catch the Sheep, Lions pull his flag off.
  • 10 Second Recovery: If the Sheep was caught, he (alone) starts an exercise of his choice while the Lions recover.  If the Sheep was not caught, he gets to recover along with the Lions.
  • 45 Second Work: All PAX perform exercise of the Sheep’s choice
  • 15 Second Recovery: All PAX recover (and the flag belt is given to another PAX – who becomes the new Sheep…).
  • Repeat…

  • Colt 45s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Proverb from India (hat tip Paramahansa Yogananda).

A pregnant lioness attacked a flock of sheep.  As she sprang on her prey, she gave birth to her cub and then died.  The lion cub grew up in the company of the sheep.  As the sheep ate grass, the cub followed their example.  They bleated; the cub bleated too.  Gradually it grew to be a big beautiful lion but still acted like a sheep.  He had no idea, not even in his dreams, that he was a lion.

One day an old lion passed by and saw this young lion standing with the sheep, acting like a sheep.  So, he gave chase and got ahold of him.  The young sheep-lion said, “Please don’t!  Let me go!”.  But the old lion said, “come with me!” and dragged him to a lake.  He made him gaze into the water and said, “Look at yourself!”  So, the lion who thought he was a sheep looked and for the first time he saw his reflection.  Then he looked at the old lion, and he looked in the water again, and he let out a mighty roar.  He was never a sheep again.

3 Points

1. “The opposite of a man is not a woman; the opposite of a man is a boy” (hat tip Judge Judy). I have three boys at home, and I can tell you that they are often self-centered and short-sighted.  Boys live for gratification and pout when they don’t get their way.  As a high-impact man, you choose not to endlessly chase your own desires, but instead to live sacrificially.  You put the needs and interests of others above your own.  You operate with intentionality and have a consistent positive influence on your community.  You are a high-impact man.

2. If you are in Christ, you are a new creation; the old has gone, the new is here (2 Corinthians 5:15). The old was lust and greed (Colossians 3:5), selfishness, jealousy, envy, and rage (Galatians 5:19-21).  You no longer have a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love, and sound judgement (2 Timothy 1:7).  You set your hearts and minds on things above (Colossians 3:1-2).  You’ve clothed yourselves with compassion and humility (Colossians 3:12) and the Spirit of God produces in you love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 3:22-23).  You are a new creation.

3. This one applies to every single one of you – every one of you is the old lion in the story. In your life, there are young lions who act like sheep – and who think they are sheep (we call them “Sad Clowns”).  Grown men who live like selfish boys – men who profess Christ, but who follow their flesh instead of the Spirit.  You must pursue and get ahold of that man.  You must be an example of a high-impact man in his life and show him what he was created to be.  You may just give that man his first glance at his “imprisoned splendor” (hat tip Robert Browning).  You may just be the conduit that God uses to rescue that man from his selfishness and meaninglessness, and to call him into a life of service and sacrifice to the glory of God.
