COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thinking about the pain and sickness in our lives should remind us that this is not our home! We will one day stand before the Lord and hear those words, “Well done good, and faithful servant.” – we must remember that the Good and Faithful is not because we did those things, in fact, most of our lives are opposites of that. But Christ is the perfect sacrifice he died once and for all! It’s his perfect righteousness that we live under and are clothed by that God see! We didn’t earn it!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

While completing “The Snake” workout I was leading on Wednesday, I realized that while my running was going well, I was really going fast and able to keep up with the Rabbits in the group, my form on the exercises was not the best. I once heard a podcast from the F3Nation of podcasts about doing a Form Week, so I wanted to try it. It is often said that pastors often preach to themselves and what they need to hear most often, same goes for today’s Q. YHC wants to work on his form, so everyone is. I want to make this a more common thing to ensure I am not cheating myself during a workout, but also so others don’t as well.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today is my son’s 7th Birthday. He spent last weekend along with Monday and Tuesday sick. He doesn’t get sick very often, and when he does, he goes down HARD. With him being sick I was able to spend a lot of extra time with him this weekend and Monday when he stayed home from school. With his mom and I being divorced, extra time with him is few and far in between. 

My son mentioned this, that although he didn’t feel well, he mentioned several times that the extra time that we spent together was worth it. This almost 7 year old found the silver lining of his illness. I charge everyone to always remember to see the world through the innocent eyes of a child. Although he was sick, I was able to spend an extra day with my boy. Which was made all the more special being so close to his birthday! 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Bro-lympics on Nov. 5th → AO vs. AO competition! 

Hardship Hill coming next May. Take a look at the Hardship Hill channel on Slack for more info to participate and opportunities to volunteer to help!
