Count-Off and Name-O-Rama:

BOM:
P-nut related how our run down Route 66 was an analogy to traveling life’s path. We have distractions along the way, but we need to remember the words of Jesus in Luke 9…and how we must be willing to sacrifice everything in order to truly follow Him.

P-nut then prayed us out- including a prayer request for Pfieffer’s grandfather and relief from holiday stress…especially that stress placed on our wives.

Moleskin:

A group of brave souls with questionable judgment participated in a RUCK/run prior to the beat-down. All PAX were treated to 3 miles and a buffet of burpees, squats and merkins. Spirits were high and the mumblechatter was strong. Great morning at the Pound.

Respectfully submitted,

P-Nut

Getting the week started right!

 Take Every Thought Captive

 If the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. —John 8:36

 God pays no attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His plan runs right through our natural life. We must see to it that we aid and assist God, and not stand against Him by saying,

“I can’t do that.” God will not discipline us; we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring our “arguments…and every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5)— we have to do it. Don’t say, “Oh, Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts.” Don’t suffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individual natural life and win freedom into the spiritual life.

BOM-
1 Timothy 6:6-12

“6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

Being content. What does that look like in today’s world? Why is it so hard to get to a place of contentment in our society? Everything is telling us the opposite, we deserve a bigger house, nicer car and the best of the best. Look around us and see people recently in Gatlinburg that have lost everything and we are still not content with what we have. BUT this is our human nature we are broken and we can not find peace in what we have here on this earth. The only way to move closer and closer to that contentment is to strive daily for a personal relationship and love of Jesus Christ.

Moleskin-
Great workout as the 21 PAX that made it out as everyone grinded through the burpees and cardiac hill. Nothing better than seeing Dimples cramping up while trying to keep up with Edit getting up Cardiac. Hopefully it was a good enough workout for everyone as we missed all those fartsackers that were dreaming of sheep. Great to see DuckPond back out!

God calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves and often I am not so great

at that.

It turns out that relationships thrive when you take ownership and are kind to

other.

3 factors to kindness.

1-Withholding negative

2-Positive affirmation

3-Do one small act of generosity for them

89% of relationships improved even though it was one sided.

Intentional kindness – Identify the one person that you need to improve your

relationship with

1- Say nothing negative about that person – either to them or about

them to anyone else.

2- Each day find one positive thing you can praise or affirm about that

person and tell them and tell someone else. Pray for them.

3- Each day, do one small act of kindness or generosity for them.
