MOLESKIN:
It was great to see some familiar faces out there this morning. Repeat, full tank, proton. I tried a little something different but kind of the same this morning. We had no FNG to introduce and get to know so I asked repeat to give us a little something about himself. Never knew how he got his name.
waxjob shared with us his situation with taking on children have a relative that passed away. Waxjob truly is a HIM in every sense of the word. Junk prayed for him and for Ribbed’s wife as we finished up the work out. We are planning on some meals for Waxjob as they transition to a larger family

10 Men
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
– 4 motivations for physical fitness as men, husbands, and fathers:

  • 1 – health and longevity
  • 2 – ability to save your own life (can you run, lift, swim, climb, and hold on?)
  • 3 – ability to save someone else’s life (could you carry your child or wife over a long distance if you had to?)
  • 4 – ability to defend yourself against an attack

What we do in the mornings isn’t easy, and yet we return again and again because we want more for ourselves than what is common – and for good reason!  Apply that to your spiritual life as well, because the rewards that are promised in the Gospels are far greater than anything this world has to offer.

MOLESKIN:
“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.  We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea.  We are far too easily pleased.”
