COT:
Much of the world today celebrates pride during the month of June. Besides the particular context of this month, pride is often seen as a good attribute. We are proud of our children’s accomplishments. We are proud to be an American! We take pride in our work. These all sound pretty harmless and are not necessarily about ourselves. However, a small twist in the words makes these much different. “My children are better than yours”. “My country is better than yours.” “I am better at my job than you are, or I have a better job than you do.” Though pride is celebrated by many, it is condemned by God.
‭Proverbs 16:5 NASB1995‬
[5] Everyone who is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord; Assuredly, he will not be unpunished.
‭Proverbs 16:18 NASB1995‬
[18] Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
‭1 John 2:15-16 NASB1995‬
[15] Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
Use these words of God to guide our hearts when it comes to pride. Don’t let it destroy lives and don’t let it separate you from God.

COT:
Scripture: Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”

WE need other men to get stronger. We too often isolate or hide. But we need each other and other men need us. Men, every morning we show up here, we push our bodies, we lean into the suck, and we grow stronger together. But being the man you mean to be isn’t just about physical grit—it’s about aligning your heart, mind, and actions with the man God calls you to be. And to do that, you need other men. And they need you.

So what area of your life are pretending you can be alone in?

MARY: Had too much fun to play with Mary.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanks to all who came out to compete and volunteer at Heart Break Hill this weekend

COT: Q shared a quote from Pope Leo XIV

“We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine, the way of living our faith, but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ and to
bear witness to our closeness to the Lord.
This comes first: to communicate the beauty of the faith, the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. It means that we ourselves are living it
and sharing this experience.”

Know your faith and live your faith! Make it known WHO you are by showing WHOSE you are.

Hardship Hill and work day
COT:
With mother’s day coming, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say a few words about the mothers in our lives. We probably wouldn’t be where we are today without the ones who raised us. We wouldn’t hardly be able to make it through the day without the ones who are by our side through it all. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

Warm up

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
-Projectivator from 6 (only 6 real movies)

Naboo was under an attack
-Tempo merkins

And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
-Cherry pickers

But their response, it didn’t thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
-Seal Squats

We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
-Shake it out

We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
-Death march to the recruiting center

We all wound up on Tatooine
That’s where we found this boy…
-Grab a block

[Chorus] -5 blockees
Oh my, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon, I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon, I’m gonna be a Jedi”

-To the stairs; run the stairs between exercises
[Verse 1]
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn’t even old enough to shave?
-30 Heavy big boys

But he can use the Force, they say
-10 Thrusters

Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he’s just nine and she’s fourteen?
Yeah, he’s probably gonna marry her someday
-30 Curls

Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I’ve heard how fast his pod can go
-30 Goblet Squats

And we were broke, it’s true
So we made a wager or two
-30 overhead press

He was a prepubescent flyin’ ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
-10 man makers

[Chorus] -5 Blockees
We started singin’ “My, my, this here Anakin guy”
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi””

[Verse 2]
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
-30 heavy lunges

So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midichlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
-30 tricep extensions

Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
-hold block over head and stand on 1 leg for 30 sec

They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
-30 2 count American Hammers

Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said “Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy”
-5 Urkey Durkeys

[Chorus] -5 Blockees
He was singin’ “My, my, this here Anakin guy”
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”

Today’s word is about Wisdom. Sometimes it is better to stop when you are ahead instead of always pushing for something more or better like George Lucas did with the prequel movies.

How do we know when it is time to stop and be content? Wisdom. Wisdom comes from experience, but also knowledge and from God. The Bible teaches us that if we ask for it, He will grant it.

Seek wisdom brothers.
