CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

From Four Pillars of a Man’s Heart by Stu Weber:

“Any servant-king who thinks he doesn’t need help is deceiving himself. We do need help, truckloads of it. Remember, it was God who said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone.’ But unless the burden of ultimate leadership falls on the man, then a man’s wife and even his children are not sure what role he is playing and how to support and help him. However, when the servant-king is clearly on his throne of accountability and responsibility, then those around him can better determine how to serve his need to be and function as God designed. But when he is on the throne, then off the throne, on and off, leading and then not leading, it becomes almost impossible for those around him to know how to help him.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

So also is the life of those who will follow Christ. We have been reached and redeemed. But we have a baptism to undergo. We have to negotiate the rocky perils, pitfalls, and pains of life, face the chaotic waters of chance and necessity, and endure the chokings of the serpentine enemy of our souls. We often do not see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 But like the boys, we have now been supplied food, drink, and air: God’s word, the Lord’s table, eternal life. And, as each boy was led and accompanied along the journey back by two expert Navy SEALs, alongside us have also come the seal of God’s Spirit and the sealed Bride of Christ—the Church to guarantee, to guard, and to guide. “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’

 We may be crawling, but we are moving. We may even be bleeding, but we are still breathing. We are not out of the tunnel yet, but we are on our way home. And “creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God”—so that the world, too, may breathe again

The Route 66 to Everest

THE SCENE: A warm, humid, and classic Knoxville, TN morning. Mid 70’s.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER:  Check yo’ self before you wreck yo’ self.
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20 IC
Cherry Pickers x 10 IC
BBS x 10 IC
Baby arm circles x 10 IC
THA-THANG:
This morning we took a few trips down Route 66.  PAX were instructed to partner up with someone that they did not know prior to joining F3.
The new park path beside where we park was the starting point for Route 66. Starting at given light pole, there were 10 more light poles up the hill. We started at light pole 1 and did 1 rep of an exercise..then ran to light pole 2 and did 2 reps..etc. until pole 11. Total reps for one circuit = 66.  PAX were also given a discussion assignment for each circuit in order to get to know their partner a little better.
Circuit 1:  Exercise = burpees; discussion = first car
Circuit 2:  Exercise =BBSU; discussion=favorite movie
Jog to different part of trail across parking lots at top of hill and did circuit’s 3 & 4 Route 66 style.
Circuit 3:  Exercise = jump squats; discussion = favorite local restaurant
Circuit 4:  Exercise = merkins; discussion = favorite vacation
After 4th circuit, PAX mosey to bottom of Everest. Sprint to the top of the hill to grab an infamous rock from the rock pile.
Few workouts with the rock (squats & shoulder press IC).
Mosey back to AO and finished with 1 set of starfish crunch abs IC while 6 caught up.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talk an awful lot about being authentic, real, genuine, etc. But what does that look like? How do we take action in our every day routine of life and live that out with our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and spouse?
The answer is simple really. Take interest in those who around you. Talking with your battle buddy about your first car, favorite movie, restaurant, and vacation was no accident. Of all the conversations from Wednesday morning, why do I remember that Charmin’s first car was a ’83 Subaru 4 door hatchback, and Repeat’s favorite restaurant is Seasons?
When we change up things that are normal, like working out, sweating, breathing hard, not talking, and substitute it with genuine conversation, we remember. It’s novelty. It sticks out like a sore thumb!
Use that model for your every day conversations with the lady in the drive thru window, cashier at the gas station, waitress at lunch, your wife when you get home, your parents when they call you. Take interest in their interests. Instead of “how was your day?” how about.. “What was the most exciting thing that happened to you today?”
When we take interest, we invest in relationships, and life becomes that much more rich.
