CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
1 Peter 5:9-10 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

While Peter is talking to those who are called to be shepherds of God’s flock, the idea of suffering rings true for all his sheep as he states in verse 9 by saying “knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world.”

YHWY never said this life would be easy but he did say that we will always have him to go to battle for us and strengthen us.  He knows that our burden will be too much to bear at times and we should not go it alone.  We need our brotherhood and our Father to overcome the trials of the enemy.  We should always look to encourage each other and pray for each other and why Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.“

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love my time here in Alcoa F3.  It has been over 3 years of hot, snowy, frigid, downpours and few perfect temp days of hard workouts but I loved every minute of it.  Going to miss the amazing history lessons from Hammy, trying to keep up with Snorkel, Veep’s odd funnel stories, beer rucks, heart felt messages from Drifter, carrying bowling balls, turkeys, and swords around like it’s normal, dressing up as Mario with Snorkel as Luigi, Waxjob Hill, The Educator, Mt. Crumpet, Hellbender Bend,  and I am going to miss all the encouraging words by each and every member that passed my way.  See you all in the gloom some day soon.

Battle buddy up. Before leaving Grinder, everyone draws a card. Person that draws the Joker keeps it in their pocket. Mosey over to the Kraken loop next to Crumpit. Everyone starts single cone. Battle buddies run in opposite direction around the loop. Once you reach each other, give each other 5 reps of whatever exercise (too many bodybuilders). If person with Joker passes you, gets to give 5 reps of anything to whoever he passes. Once member of PAX with Joker reaches cone, leave face up so that next person who passes can pick it up and become Joker for the loop. Just keep running.

Mosey back to Grinder.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My favorite movie growing up was Sandlot. One of my favorite scenes from the movie was when the ghost of Babe Ruth was talking to Benny “the Jet” Rodriguez. Babe gives him some words of advice that I think we could all use in our lives.

“Let me tell you something kid, everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people never take the chance, either ’cause they’re too scared, or because they don’t recognize it when it spits on their shoes. This is your big chance, and you shouldn’t let it go by…”

“Remember, kid, there’s heroes and there’s legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you’ll never go wrong.”

Don’t be afraid to take a chance and go with your gut when you feel like you need to make a decision. As Christians, let the Holy Spirit work within you and lead you when necessary. Make the leap when you feel the push no matter how uncomfortable or painful it may be. Follow your heart.
