THA-THANG:
YHC did not devote enough time to planning, so we winged it a little. The basic idea was to focus on upper body with running to each area. We started each pain station with a variety of merkins followed by burpees and then running up a hill. We hit the hill by the launch point first, then cardiac, and finally Everest. We ended with Mucho Chesto before COT: 10 merkins, 10 diamond merkins, 10 wide arm merkins, 10 stagger left merkins, and 10 stagger right merkins.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Spoke about the Tennessee/Alabama game and how Tennessee and it’s team resembles our lives a lot more than Alabama.  That sometimes our hard work doesn’t turn out the way we desired.  That obstacles and hardship don’t mean we’re being punished.  God just asks us to show up and be faithful.  To trust him no matter what is going on at any given time.  That he has a plan and sometimes it doesn’t look the way we wanted or thought might be best for us, but God sees the whole picture.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With the hearings for Judge Cavinaugh, it had me thinking about my past.  We have an accuser against us every day, bringing up our past, trying to bring us down.  But we also have an advocate.  Jesus stands with us, and says Yes, he does have this in his past, but I paid his debt, and now he is free to be the man, husband, father, leader, etc. that I created him to be.  So walk with that in mind this week that despite our past, Jesus has made a way for us to be HIMs.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I have had failure on my mind. I lost 30 pounds in my first four months of F3, now I’ve gained some of that back and have not hit my goals. So I feel failure. I failed a couple CPA exams already. Failure. I haven’t really prayed much at all in the last year or two. Failure. But the biggest failure came on Tuesday when we had to put our 2 year old cat down. My wife is an animal lover and especially loved this little cat. She has been depressed and crying for two days now. I can’t help but feel like a failure as a husband because I can’t make it better. Nothing that I say or do will make her feel better or stop her from being sad. But I realized that what I need to do is offer it all up to God. I’ve prayed more in the last two days than I have in the last two years. I’ve been praying for peace for my wife and that led to praying about all of the other things that make me feel like I have failed. I encourage you men to turn to God earlier than I did. Anytime you feel like you have failed, offer it up to God and have a conversation with him. We sometimes feel like it is all on us when in reality, all we have to do is turn our eyes to heaven for some help.
