CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I struggled with motivation at work yesterday. I certainly didn’t give it my all. As I lay in bed reflecting, Colossians 3:23 came to mind: “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” I was working for men yesterday, and men who I didn’t feel necessarily deserved “hearty” effort at the. But the Lord deserves such all the time.

MOLESKIN:
YHC arrived early with a plan to set up some laps at the track. Hopped out of the car and dug around in the back for my cones. Where are they? Oh… I left them at Shamrock last time I Qd over there. Crap. Time to audible!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Patience vs. Perseverance. At what point do we stop being patient for God’s plan to take shape and start persevering through God’s plan that He lays out in front of us? Patience can be hard to practice. We must constantly remind ourselves that patience can pay off. 

I have been preaching and (trying to) practice patience as I search for a new school admin job. This week is the week where I find out whether I will be on a school admin team for next year. If it doesn’t go my way, I must persevere through another year in the classroom (which I do LOVE) and wait for another opportunity to come up.

Junk delivered this:

Don’t be religious
When people in our society use the word “religious“ they think it means for someone to have faith in something or to be involved in one religion or another. That’s not what it means.
Humans by their very nature are constantly measuring themselves, most frequently against other humans. We can’t help it. It’s built into how we see the world and it’s part of why we have such a hard time relating to God, because we can never measure ourselves against him.
Instead we constantly measure ourselves against each other, choosing to see the things that make us look the best and ignore the things that make us look the worst. We make excuses for our shortcomings and pat ourselves on the back for our perceived areas of success or excellence.
This is religion. Religion requires rules and a constant measuring of oneself against a standard. The biggest challenge with that is that very quickly we begin measuring other people against the standard of us.
This happens in every religion. They’re not in an offer in escape from this, save one.
Jesus came to abolish religiosity in favor of rebirth, transformation of how we think. God doesn’t want more religious people, he wants converts. People who’s understanding and outlook on the world is fundamentally changed to one that seeks to glorify God instead of oneself. Men and women who recognize we can never earn salvation and therefore he’s not breeding us based on how many rules we have followed and how well we “toe the line.” Jesus said this clear as day. Man looks on the outward appearance (the rules, the way we look, posturing, judging)… but God looks on the heart. He cares about who you are not what you look like or the facade you put out there. He wants your heart, a renewing of your mind and a filling with His spirit – the behaviors follow naturally.

MOLESKIN:
5 exercises and Run laps to avoid a mile long burpee broad jump Mayberry penalty Q. Deal.

Lots of talk about getting Woke this morning. Felt the most woke about Junk’s word on acting religiously.
