BOM

  • Plan your workout – Actually write it down and get someone who has Q’d before to review it.
  • Better to have too much than not enough
  • Have an alternative Plan! for rain, weather size of PAX etc.
  • Welcome everyone
  • Use good form
  • Cadence- Inflection and recover and practice out loud!

BOM

“Today you will spend solitary moments of conversation with yourself, either listing your complaints or counting your blessings.”

“Think with me for a moment. Do you live a life of blessing or complaint?

  • easy to find fault, discontent.
  • easy to be irritated and impatient.
  • easy to groan and moan about the difficulties of life
  • easy to be dissatisfied.

Why are these things so easy? Well, they’re easy because sin still causes us to make it all about us. ”

“Our readiness to complain is another argument for the forgiving and rescuing grace that Jesus, without complaint, willingly died to give us.”

Saint Francis Prayer

Lord make me an instrument of your peace
Where there is hatred let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy

O divine master grant that I may
not so much seek to be consoled as to console
to be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it’s in dying that we are born to eternal life
Amen

Life is too short to get upset about stupid little annoyances in our lives. I have been working on this the past 6 months and my wife says I’m sweeter to her. I can tell we are closer and more loving when I’m not always trying to educate and correct her. She is my best friend and not identical to me. If I accept her as she is we lead a much happier life with a tight relationship.

MOLESKIN:
Thanks to locals for showing me around the park on a recon ruck. Nice place you got! Wall ball did some marathon training instead of the beatdown, but we enjoyed his mumblechatter when he passed by.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently met an old friend for dinner. It was good to catch up with him. I reflected on our time together and the moments where we began to take different paths. My friend certainly had a rough time for a few years. Maybe I did not fulfill my duty has a friend to be more open and willing to be supportive when I suspected something was going wrong. I do not mean to say that we should be very assertive, but rather we should ask them if everything is alright. Just reaching out to someone can be enough.

THA-THANG:

The first part of the workout challenged the PAX to do AMRAPs (As Many Reps As Possible) with good, QUALITY form. We stayed together throughout this portion of the workout but all did different numbers of reps. At the end of the prescribed time for each exercise, we moseyed to another location.

  • Merkins – 2 minutes
  • Sit-ups – 3 minutes
  • Burpees – 3 minutes
  • Dips – 3 minutes
  • Star Jacks – 3 minutes
  • Rinse & repeat!

Second portion of the workout included the same exercises but had us picking up the pace with 10 reps at each station as fast as possible while running to the next exercise. Our focus was QUANTITY and cardio through 1-3 cycles each.  Mosey back to the AO

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Earlier this week my wife and I became grandparents of our 3rd grand Child.  As I was holding this new born baby I came to a renewed awareness of life and how precious it is.  God made all human beings in His image (Gen 1:27) with the sole purpose to glorify Him.  In Jer 1:5  God says “before I formed you in the womb knew you”.  We as men and leaders in the community must witness to other people the importance of the “value of life” and the importance to glorify God.  If we do that people might start thinking about that again and we might influence decisions on suicide, homicide and maybe even abortions.
