CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My kids have to do burpees as punishment for bad behavior.  It occurred to me that I needed to do burpees for my own bad behavior.  As a parent, I’ve gotten good at recognizing bad behavior in my kids and dealing with it, but I’ve probably gotten worse at recognizing my own bad behavior and dealing with it.  Plus, if my 12 year old can do 130 straight burpees once and 100 straight burpees another time, then I/we could at least do 100 divided into groups of 25 with a 1/4-mile break in between.  Next time, I may go up to 50 burpees followed by two laps, rinse and repeat.  Or maybe 100 burpees followed by four laps.  We can’t be outdone by a 12 year old, can we?  (I may not be asked/allowed to Q for a while.)

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife and Lillydipper’s wife.

James 3:17-18 — “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.  And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

An encouragement to HIMs to model wisdom for our kids, co-workers, family, and friends. We need men who are wise and display true wisdom in how they interact, love, and care for those around them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The word for today was about leaning on each other. Trusting each other and helping each other through difficult times. Not being timid about reaching out to someone when you are struggling. F3 is made for that. The work out this morning was based on a group and then separating out to yourself and coming back together as a group. Everyone worked a little bit harder when they were with the group than on their own. #isi
MOLESKIN:
It was great being back out at the dog pound. Great mumble chatter and we were able to avoid the rain for most of the work out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

No matter what conflict we encounter at work, at home, out in the world, we know we are not the first ones to be disliked, to be disrespected; we have a great example in Jesus who was spat on (because they were not observing COVID guidelines) and insulted and lied about and 1Peter2 tells us that “He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.” I hope you don’t face any conflict in your day today, but if you do, let that be our example. Let us lead with restraint and leave our case in the hands of a higher power.
