CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Lean hard on your spouse or friend or family because when you fall down its important to have that strong, braided cord to pull you back up. When we see couples weathering through difficult times and keeping their focus on God, that should be a reminder to us about the importance of drawing nearer to our spouse and showing them grace.

MOLESKIN:
Great workout today, partners pushed each other hard and this ended up being a really tough one

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 Pax pushed through today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When we pulled up in front of Matterhorn, just the thought of what possible misery could be done on that beast was tough. Although we didn’t run up it, it was already hard. The biggest battle we fight is between our ears. We need to remember to invite God into those battles so we’re not standing alone against the enemy. Life can be relentless and if we’re not relentless, it can swallow us whole.

MOLESKIN:

PAX worked hard today, the harder the workout got, the harder I saw these men push. Please keep our PAX in your prayers. Many of us are being called to be leaders for friends, family and neighbors that are going through hardships. Special shout-out to Stitches who is going through MEPS today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Whatever I said wasn’t what I wanted to say.  But God is not meek his is strong and he is always strong.  He wants us to be meek at times, so that we can depend on one another and more importantly depend on Him.  He wants us to be strong for one another. There have been far too many stories lately of men not reaching out and it ending in dire consequences.  We as HIMs need to make sure we are reaching out too and being God’s light to these men.

MOLESKIN:
Props to Junk for coming out even though he is on IR

Quick mosey to the stop sign near the far end of the upper parking lot. Applied our first Flying Headlock/Billy Zane by pulling a sadclown off the running path and having him join us. He was joined by his M (uh…what do you do about that?) for the remainder of the workout.

MOLESKIN
This was a cardio buffet for the PAX. Spirits were high with the Billy Zane experience…coupled with the interesting reality of having an M infiltrate the group. Queen B kicked our fannies.

Lots of spirited mumblechatter.
