Chasing Light Poles

THE SCENE: Upper 50s and dry
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Some stretching and warming was accomplished.
THA-THANG:
Run to a light pole and do 10 jump squats, 10 merkins, and 3 burpees.  Run to the next light pole and do the same set of exercises, same reps.  Run to the next light pole, etc.  Once back at the first pole, do 23 SSHs on a 4 count.  Then repeat until time.  There were 19 stops per lap around the park, but we did some light poles twice because we passed them both ways.  Most of us made it to 24 light poles, but Snitch and Mouthwash made it to 27.  Potato Head had to leave early or he would have done 30 something.

Fellowship mosey back to the AO.

Gratitude for the past year.  Been a blast and great time getting to know everybody.
MOLESKIN:
Seriously, thank you.  There’s been a change for the better.  It’s been great.  Gives me hope.  And really, I don’t like being able to see what I’m doing in the gloom.  We need to go back to the old lighting.  Think that’ll fly with KCP&R?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

Today I’m discussing the 13th pillar which is the final pillar:
Generous
The verse for this pillar is Proverbs 11:25

“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.”
– Proverbs 11:25 NLT

You can’t out give God! I encourage you to be more generous… This is not just with money, but with time as well. We were put here to serve. Give blood, volunteer for something you’re passionate about, help someone without expecting or wanting anything in return. These acts not only help others, but they are so rewarding. You will feel good as well !!

Jesus shows us how it’s done in 2 Corinthians 8:9 it says:
“You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9

Keep giving and you will never be without!!

Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about Consistency. (not as good as what I said)

“Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform, stable, or constant in something over time. In various contexts, consistency can have different meanings:

  1. Behavior or habits: Consistency in behavior or habits means maintaining regular patterns, routines, or actions. For example, consistent exercise or consistent work performance demonstrate stability and reliability.
  2. Thoughts and beliefs: Consistency in thoughts and beliefs refers to having a coherent and logical set of ideas or values that do not frequently change or contradict each other.
  3. Quality or performance: Consistency in quality or performance means maintaining a specific standard or level of output over time, without significant fluctuations or variations. For instance, a product’s consistent quality ensures that customers receive the same experience every time they use it.

In general, consistency is often considered a desirable trait, as it demonstrates reliability, dependability, and predictability. It can build trust, enhance relationships, and contribute to personal and professional success.”
