  2. Pee Rocks – TRICK
    • Pee Rock Inchworm Merkin.  Grab a rock and slide it forward…do a merkin on the rock…then walk your feet up to the rock.   Rinse & Repeat the length of the parking spaces and back to the start line.
  3. Baby Everest – TRICK was chosen but we quickly audibled and did the TREAT
    • TRICK:  backward bear crawl up the hill x 5.   Dumb idea…we could barely do it once….audible…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Is your Christian walk a cruise ship or a war ship?   It is so easy to slip into complacency and comfort as a Christian in America.  The Bible continually tells us we are at war with the evil one – our lives should reflect this.  On a cruise ship the captain is the head entertainer, on a war ship the captain leads us into battle.  On a cruise ship the crew is there to meet your needs, on a war ship you are expected to hold up your brothers up and hold them accountable.  A cruise ship docks when the war begins, a war ship sails headlong into battle.  As men we should all have a warship mentality – Christ promised us this life would be tough if we chose to follow him.  I pray that you find your strength in Christ as you put on Gods armor and go headlong into battle each day.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
This week marks the first time that both my kids will be going to camp for a week.  As a parent you worry how they would do. These are the times to let go and let God take care of it.  Are we holding on to things that hold us back whether that is work, addiction, family, or money issues.  Present those things to God and he will do whats best for us.

Great response for the new AO Launch at The Equalizer (formerly known as Carl Cowan Park).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Over the weekend I was stung by a wasp that had built it’s nest under a table that I had already moved several times that day. After further inspection of my deck I found an additional 4 nests in various places very close to where my family and I regularly hang out. It was a reminder that danger is always lurking just beneath the surface, therefore, it’s important to always be on guard.

John 10:7-10 NASB

So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I encourage you brothers to go!  Find an adventure!  Do big what you don’t know or haven’t done before.

Don’t be like me – stuck in the familiar; losing my sense of adventure; forgetting the joy and power adventure brings to life.

Be “Wild at Heart” as John Eldredge describes it.

….and share it (the adventure and your wildness) with your loved ones and kids.

….so they won’t forget – your adventures together and how to be wild at heart themselves.
MOLESKIN:
Be in prayer for @Slide Rule and his family, as the Lord called his mother home this week.
