CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My goal as a man and as a Pastor is to always usher people into an encounter with God.  An encounter with God will NEVER leave one the same.  Look at the disciples, the people who came in contact with Jesus, King Nebuchadnezzar in the Old Testament, and Paul (writer of most of the New Testament).  They simply encountered the very real God of the universe and they were changed.  I want the church to be full of good preaching, good music, and good people, but most importantly, I want the church and my life to be a place where people can encounter God.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently spent some time away from my family on business travel, and that always reminds me how much I love them.  I think that sometimes we take each other for granted.  This probably goes double for the people close to you.  Sometimes it’s really difficult to get past all of the day to day stress and take a moment to appreciate these relationships.  So I just wanted to encourage everyone to pause for a moment and spend some downtime with your family.  This could be as simple as playing Legos with kids or have coffee in the morning with your spouse.  These small moments are really what keeps us together and reaffirms our commitment to each other.

THA-THANG:

Started off with a song.  Flower by Moby (Known for lyrics Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down).  Hold the bottom of a squat for the entire song, but when the song says Bring Sally Up, you explode off the ground like a squat jump and then right back to the squat.

Mosey to Mt Suckmore

Deck of Cards – Red cards were bear crawl up the hill and Iron Mikes to match the number on the card.  Black cards were run the hill and squats at the top.  Jacks=11, Queens,=12, Kings=13, Aces=14, Joker=20

Q drew a card and we performed.  If you got done, then you held either the squat or lunge position until the 6 was done and we mosey back to the bottom and do it again.

We were not able to finish the deck of cards, but what we got done was brutal enough.

Mosey back to the AO.

You are a product of your choices and nothing else.

Galatians 5 talks about the Fruits of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Flesh.  It tells us not to engage in things to gratify the flesh, but instead do things to gratify the spirit.  This tells me that there is a choice to be made there.  The choice you make will determine your next step and eventually your outcome.  Are you making choices to gratify the spirit and see the outcome that you desire to see.

Be mindful of the choices that you make.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

The golden rule is often taken into negative context… “If you don’t want to get punched, don’t punch others. If you don’t want to be talked down to, don’t talk down to others.” The Lord isn’t called us to stop doing bad things in order to not be treated badly, He calls us to do positive things in order to receive positive things.

If you want to be loved, go and show your love to others. If you want to receive gifts, give gifts to others.

Spend your time spreading positive things in life, not just avoiding the negative.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This Q was all about keeping the PAX together and charging up the hill side by side.  I was trying to relate this to friendship and keeping your friends close.

Like the Stone of Wisdom, friendship may be lying right in your back yard and you may never know it.  Your best friend may be a stranger to you, or you may lose him because you didn’t bother to hold him.  Friends must be cultivated by sincerity, frankness, and deeds of affection.  No one can remain your friend if you hide your soul from him.  You needn’t save face before your friend.  Your friend will save it for you.

Life is a chain of little events.  Close your soul to your friend, and he will lose sight of you.  And if you find your friend, give of your friendship and it will return to you tenfold.  Those who cannot give friendship will rarely receive it and never hold it.                             -Dagobert D. Runes

 

Go often to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke the unused path.     -Ralph Waldo Emerson
