CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

wanted to do the marine Pt test after discussing it at coffeeteria with Peach & Drifter. When at the Arsenal for Christmas Eve, I stayed quiet but those families who couldn’t be together for the holidays was heavy on my mind and wanted to bring that out today.

War brings out the worst and the best in people. Wars do not make men great, but they do bring out the greatness in good men.

Prayer notes:

Think about those serving and can’t be with their families during the holidays. Think about the children who don’t have families. Think about the parents who don’t have children.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We’re all training for something every day. Some of us are out here training for fitness, and some of us are training for ourselves and our lives. We all have things that we need to train into our lives (relationships, jobs, etc.) and things that we also need to train out of our lives. Use your time in the mornings with F3 to physically and mentally get stronger so you can train the things you need in your life outside of it.
MOLESKIN:
Insert any personal comments, notes, devotion content, etc.

We were going to go to church parking lot when, lo and behold, there was a Christmas note slipped into my CMU and it said that Santa 🎅  had left us a gift under the tree! So we ran to Crumpit to see what might be there.

We found the gift, opened it, and there was a brand new deck of cards and another note! How exciting! The note had the following details.

Nice List

  • ♦️ burpees
  • ❤ original burpees with a tuck jump
  • ♣️ Mr spectaculars
  • ♠️ blockees
  • 1-4 = Trips up the hill
  • Face = 10
  • Ace = 20

So we drew cards for around 50 min and had so much fun!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Got a lot of flack recently for not doing the Santa thing with my kids. I’m not against other folks doing it and teach my kids to be respectful of this big, fun “game” everyone plays with their kids each year. However, like many other aspects of Christmas, these things really lose their meaning and significance when pulled apart from the crazy, reality bending truth of the fact that we are celebrating the incarnation of the most powerful diety we’ve ever known! This separation of the spiritual from our everyday stuff is not true! God made Himself man. The significance of this is astounding when you really meditate on it. For me, this significance was highlighted when a friend and I examined my recent moral failing using Jeff Vanderstelt’s fruit to root exercise. At the end of it, I realized at the root of my sin was a false belief and denial of the incarnation. I had tried to pull out the spiritual significance of giving into my fleshly desires. At least, that is how my false belief had manifested itself in that moment of weakness. So, I’m not saying to get rid of Santa. If anything, I’m trying to enhance that fun “game” by getting it back into the larger and more significant context of Christ truly coming to be with us.
