Waxjob did 200 straight lunges because he didn’t want to walk all weekend long.

After the 4 of us ran through the above set, we moseyed over to the CMU pile where we pulled them out, sorted them, and neatly restacked them.  Not the hardest workout, but we moved more than 100 CMU’s twice, so it wasn’t easy either!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Love people where they are. Don’t judge them. Love them regardless because they’re Gods child just like you and I are.  It’s easy to say but difficult to do.

It ticks me off when people complain about how horrible America is. While we’re not perfect, we’ve got lots of freedoms that others around the world don’t have.

Lots of people are acting horrible after the Row V. Wade decision…that includes Pro-Life and Pro-Aborion (choice) advocates. I’m 100% Pro-Life. Again, very easy for me to say. What happens if my teenage daughter or yours gets raped and pregnant? What if it the decision is to have the baby and the Mom dies? These cases happen…yes, they are not large numbers but they happen.

We, as Christians, are going to have to step up and help support teenagers and adult women who aren’t mentally or financially prepared to raise a child. Our churches will have to step up and do the same. I’d love to adopt but my wife keeps telling me how old we are…she’s right but what am I doing to help the hundreds of thousands of kids in the foster system? What will I do for the potential millions who will be in there after unfit mothers have their kids taken from them?

We have to pray about it and make a difference in the lives of the mothers, babies/children and the fathers that are trying to raise their kids. Let’s love them and pray for them because like you and me, they’re Gods child.

Romans 3:23 ESV For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Matthew 6:14-15 ESV For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

1 John 1:8 ESV If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Matthew 7:1-29 ESV “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. …

Psalm 7:11 ESV God is a righteous judge.

Mark 12:31 ESV “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. ‘ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I talked about my struggle to pray when times are good, and my desire to pray when times are tough.  I recently dropped my daughter off at a camp in Palo Alto CA.  She is 15, and we were both struggling at the prospect of her being on her own.  I finally left her, and I was a wreck emotionally.  I took a long walk around the Stanford Campus to clear my head and spent a lot of time in prayer.

My daughter met some people and did great, and I hailed an UBER back to San Francisco.  I encountered the best driver I have ever had.  He had over 28,000 trips and maintained a 4.99 star rating out of 5.  Nasim was a Jordanian immigrant.  He retired from the grocery business, and drives UBER for fun.  He loves people, and was raised as a Christian in Jordan, before immigrating to the US.  We had a delightful conversation, and he was an answer to prayers, and maybe even an angel.  Nasim and I swapped numbers and he texted me the next day (Father’s Day) to see how I was doing.

We need God all of the time, not just when things are rough, the challenge this week is to remember that and spend some time in prayer.  God is real, He is there just waiting for you to have a relationship with Him.

The first exercise called was LBC’s and someone said take us to 100, so we did 50 LBC’s in cadence equaling 100.  Be careful what you ask for.  Then we did 36 flutter kicks only because I failed to stop at 35, finally we all did 10 big boys on our own, and for the last few seconds dumpster dive had us do jumping beans.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
We did have one FNG, named Carter.  We named him Flintstone because he was wearing minimalist running sandals, and was practically barefoot!
