“Behavioral research shows that humans can become acclimated to almost anything if they’re exposed to it frequently…It’s why lottery winners, after the initial thrill of winning, end up about as happy as they were before. What does this mean for parents and kids? Anything we provide regularly will become the new norm, whether it’s post-game milkshakes or a certain brand of clothes. If our kids have gotten used to having their beds made or dinner table set, they’ll come to expect that, too”.

The above is an excerpt from article discussing how to raise children without creating the sense of entitlement that is so common in American youth. It’s important to remember that consistency with our actions create what we (and our loved ones) consider “normal”. This “normal” is what our kids, wives, friends, and co-workers come to expect from us. As HIMs, we need to make sure that our “normal” creates a positive and grateful environment for those around us. Everyone around us notices when we help someone, but they also notice things we DON’T do.

This PAX is incredible. I pushed hard this morning and everywhere I looked – somebody was pushing a little harder. One of our FNGs pushed so hard he almost tossed his cookies. Way to finish strong, men!

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request from Tank.

Lots of mumblechatter from the PAX.  Woodshack started us off with lots of wet gaseous noises during warm-ups, followed by his discovery of dog poop in the parking lot.  Junk had the line of the day when he described Peyton as a “small package.”  It went steadily downhill from there…  Great morning with the PAX!

P-nut referenced 2 Corinthians 1:1-11.  Paul wrote about how suffering brings about a closer walk with Jesus, and through adversity we endure and can be an example to others.  Remember to celebrate through your suffering and to we aware when your brothers are struggling.  Pick them up.  Let’s get better- together.

P-nut prayed us out.  Special mention of Bandwagon’s back pain and Cap’n Crunch and his all-nite RUCK run.

MOLESKIN
2.94 total miles and a multitude of squats, merkins and burpees.  Crawdad brought his usual “A” game with the mumblechatter and kept the PAX entertained.  T-claps to Proton for noticing that an FNG had Velcro on their shoes (hence the new name “Velcro”).  Nice to have a total of 4 FNG’s this Saturday.

God bless.

The New Testament mentions “One Another” 59 times It specifically says “love one another” 15 separate times.
John 13:34 says
“So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.””

So who is Jesus talking about when he says “one another”? Christians? Jews?…..Everyone.
It’s easy to love family, friends, F3 brothers. It’s not easy loving everyone. Are we lovable? Not always. We have sin in our hearts we are going to disappoint.
Jesus loved us….warts and all.  Lets love on the unloveable.
