just miles…
We did the old faithful route, and a lap around campus. We talked a lot about the upcoming GTE. The total mileage was around 3.5.

Our COT focused on a rough quote I picked up at Winter Jam over the weekend. It was something the band New Song said. Since I don’t have the exact quote, this is the paraphrase.

You don’t realize how much you need Jesus until you realize that Jesus is all that you have. Upon that realization, you learn that he is all that you really ever needed.

a simple route through CAK and back via Gulf Park Drive.
We discussed Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. What would you consider giving up to reflect more on Jesus, or what should you add?

THE THANG:
Ran around the building and came back to the school entrance cover. About 25 cards w various exercises were space out in a big circle. We started on a different card and went around the circle doing 10 of each. After round 1 we ran around the building and started round 2. We flipped the cards to find new exercises to do. Same thing again. 10 of each then ran around the building. Final round was 5 each of whichever side you preferred then pick up the card for clean up. Then mosey back to flag. We listened to Toby Keith’s greatest hits the whole time. I forgot to bring Red Solo cups for a prop. Next time I’m gonna do this.

COT:
Toby Keith died last week of stomach cancer. He had become one of my favorites over the past 20 years or so. He was big, fun, and talented. He loved America and Soldiers. Go listen to the greatest hits, he was fun. He will be missed.

I was moved by the way his daughter responded to his death. She of course recognized his talent and that they would miss him badly. More importantly she was thankful to have a dad that was always there and present for her and she took comfort in knowing that because of his faith he is now with Jesus.

So with this in mind I asked what will your legacy be? Will your legacy of a father, husband, son, or friend be appreciated or regrettable? Do you leave a legacy of faith in Jesus for others to follow? Death appears to be all around us and it’s coming for us all. What will people say about you? What are the most important things?
