The PAX did great with the CMU workout. Not a lot of running in a La-Z-Boy planned workout! Colt 45’s left us all with trembling arms and HiLo’s inflicted some court burn on our elbows to remember the VQ by. Great day to get better together!!

The Dog Pound delivered some new views this morning as we explored some unchartered roadway and sidewalks.  Average turnout allowed for some good mumble-chatter.  The PAX left it all out there today.  …time to get some breakfast and recharge.

One of the most prominent people in ancient Hebrew is King David. He was a mighty warrior, poet, king…all around man’s man. A little less know is a group of warriors known at David’s Might Men (2 Samuel 23 gives a list of them and some of their incredible feats).   These were men of strength, loyalty, passion and valor, HIMs!

Benaiah is singled out by the text for being a particularly great warrior. The text gives a list of Benaiah’s “great exploits”, suggesting that these are what brought him fame and honor. They include: killing two Moab’s best warriors, attacking a 7 1/2 foot tall Egyptian with a club, stealing the spear that the Egyptian was using, and killing the Egyptian with it, and killing a lion in a pit on a snowy day. This last feat is the topic of a book by Mark Batterson, “In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day: How to Survive and Thrive When Opportunity Roars.” Opportunity is all around us, and as men who want to be HIMs we have to see and then seize it! Most men let fear dictate their next move rather than faith. Benaiah saw an opportunity, jumped in and grabbed it. In the book Batterson offers us a “Lion Chaser’s Manifesto”:

“Benaiah chased a lion down into a pit. Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it.” – II Samuel 23:20
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Set God-sized goals.  Pursue God-ordained passions.
Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention.
Keep asking questions.  Keep making mistakes.  Keep seeking God.
Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution.
Stop repeating the past and start creating the future.
Stop playing it safe and start taking risks.
Expand your horizons.  Accumulate experiences.  Consider the lilies.
Enjoy the journey.  Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can.
Live like today is the first day and last day of your life.
Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God.
Burn sinful bridges.  Blaze a new trail.  Criticize by creating.
Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks.
Don’t try to be who you’re not.  Be yourself.  Laugh at yourself.
Quit holding out.  Quit holding back.  Quit running away.
Chase the lion!

I believe we all have opportunities in our lives waiting to be seized. Not just opportunities for gain, but opportunities to love and serve others. Lean in and go for it! Don’t cower back or wait for “the right time”…Chase The Lion!

Great morning with great men! It was cool, but things heated up pretty quick once we got started. Mummblechatter was high as was camaraderie.

Mosey to the Tennis Court with your Cinder Blocks.  Since YHC Woodshack on Q cannot run at the moment. I decided not to have the PAX run.

Partner Up for Lazy Doras (no running)

Lazy Doras

200 LBC-P1 20 LBC while P2 holds legs 6 inches off the ground
300 squats-P1 25 squats while P2 holds Al Gore

Legs were fried, so why not Super 21’s with out beloved Cinder Blocks!

Super 21’s
Curls and overhead arm extensions.
YHCQ and the Pax were TOASTED after 11 so we modified “Omaha”!

11’s
1 sit up, bear Crawl across the tennis court 10 Body Builders, so on and so forth.

Due to time, THC wanted some 6 MOM so we modified back to COP for abs. From all the Body builders and Bear crawling, YHC got really dizzy and had to sit for a second. RATCHET “The Man” stepped up and helped get ABS going. THANK YOU Ratchet for looking out for me!

Talked about my 9 Yr old asking me who I love more, him or God! It really threw me off guard when he asked that and I told him that I loved him more than God not knowing how to answer that questions without hurting his feelings or simply, I was not sure… My son told me that can’t be because God made us and that I should love God more. “WOW”!!!!!
