CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Gen. 15:1 “Do not be afraid, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” God and Abram have a conversation about the covenant between them. There is an odd ritual where a flame passes between the sacrificed animals to show that whoever breaks the covenant will suffer the same fate as the animals. 

God does not break His covenant with us, but He does suffer punishment for us by sending His son to die on the cross for our infidelities. 

Remember to ask God in prayer, today and every day to show us the areas of our lives where we do not trust in Him. Look to the Lord in His strength; Seek to serve Him constantly.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Malcolm Gladwell – Outliers. All about success. Great book.

Lays his points out through a series of really interesting vignettes—quick read. (Or listen)

Closes the book with this:

“The successful are those who have been given opportunities and who have had the strength and presence of mind to seize them.”

Reflect on the opportunities we’ve been given and how different life could have been 

Reflect on how well you’re leading yourself right now

But also reflect on who you know, who has what it takes to succeed and just needs an opportunity.

Look For Opportunities, Not Excuses

THE SCENE: Upper 60s, sun rising, birds chirping
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
146th day of the year, 219 remaining

Mother’s Day in Poland

National Sorry Day in Australia

National Paper Airplane Day in the U.S.

On this day in 1868, the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson ended with an acquittal by one vote.  The PAX did not know how many senators voted for impeachment.  The answer is 35.

SSH x 35 (4 ct)

5 burpees since the PAX answered incorrectly.

Rockettes x 10 (4 ct)

The PAX answered incorrectly when asked where Andrew Johnson was from.  The PAX said TN.  The correct answer is NC.

5 burpees

Little baby arm circles forward x 10 (4 ct)

Little baby arm circles backward x 10 (4 ct)

Tempo squats x 10

The PAX correctly answered that Andrew Johnson served as the mayor of Greeneville, TN, so no more burpees before moseying.

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the steep hill to the left of the splash pad, which had never been used before and does not yet have a name.

Tomorrow is my 21st wedding anniversary, so the rest of the workout is brought to you by the number 21.

Merkins at the bottom

Big Boy Sit-ups at the top

Mosey to the splash pad

Using the tables and benches – 21 box jumps, 21 dips, 21 pull-me-up rows, and 21 decline merkins

Run around Stonehenge when done and until the six arrives.

MARY:
No time, but we did 231 BBS during the 21s, which means we also did 231 merkins, not counting the merkins we did outside of the 21s.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
America is known as the land of opportunity.  It seems like people today would rather have an excuse than an opportunity.  There are plenty of excuses out there for not being your best, doing your best, for not getting out in the gloom in the early morning, for not working hard, for not pushing yourself to your full potential, etc.  But, there are also plenty of opportunities to be better, do better, show up, work hard, step up, etc.  Look for opportunities in life, not excuses.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Lillydipper, Jinxy, Blindside and his wife and their efforts to improve their job situations, Cavalier and his family, Surplus for fartsacking, and Doubtfire for not holding up his HC.  Apologies if I missed any.
