THA-THANG:
8 stations set up in front of the outhouse.  2 minutes at each station then rotate to the next.  The jump rope station was in the middle so, naturally, we used that as the catalyst to “encourage” (pronounced: make fun of) the person jumping rope!  All this while Lynyrd Skynyrd played blissfully in the background….good times.

  2. Squats (60 sandbag)
  3. Calf Raises (40 sandbag)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
2 practical techniques to battle sinful thoughts when they enter the mind: 1) focus on the cross – the ultimate price that was paid for you. This helps supply the motivation to dedicate our mind, bodies, actions and words to Him. We are not our own, we were bought with a price!  2) Rest in the absolute conviction that His ways are infinitely BETTER than ours. We see this proven time and time again throughout the Bible and history.
MOLESKIN:
These guys were awesome today. Very proud of this crew! Thank you for allowing me to serve you this morning!
