God does not always take us the short (or easy) way.  We are often led through troubles so God can be glorified and we can be equipped for battle.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I finished reading the Bible for the first time in my life back in February. This is probably not a feat for you guys… It took me a little more than 2 years to finish a 1 year plan. But I did it! I’ve always been around the Bible and I’ve read bits and pieces, here and there. I made a lot of attempts to read it cover to cover, and i would fizzle somewhere after the creation… If you struggle like I did, I highly recommend a Bible reading plan.

MOLESKIN:
Thank you gentlemen for challenging me! I have nothing but respect for you guys.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The idea for this Word came from Rocket.  Last week, he and I were talking about his knee that he injured in July.  I remarked how he hustled so hard the workout before – racing back to the flag against Mathlete.  I said, “Man, your knee seems to be so much better!”.  Rocket responded, “Well, I’m having just a little bit of pain.  I’m thinking about going to see someone about it – to fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal”.

That’s the Word that I want to think about; Fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal.

Do you have anything in your life that is just a little askew?  A little bad habit?  A little sin?  Something that is not helping you accelerate to be the man you want to be?  Something tiny that you can correct before it becomes a big deal?

  • A little judgmental?
  • A little arrogance?
  • A little jealousy?
  • A little anger?
  • A little lust?

We need to saw these things off while they are little – before they become a big deal.  Because each of these things, when they become full grown – can ruin a man. 

One of the earliest recorded conversations between man and God is in Genesis 4.  Adam and Eve’s sons, Cain and Able, have each made sacrifices to God, but Cain’s is half-hearted.  He becomes envious when God favors his brother’s offering instead of his.  In that heated moment, when Cain is seeing red, God speaks to him and says, “…if you do not do what is right, watch out, because sin is crouching at the door, ready to pounce on you! You must master it before it masters you.” (Genesis 4:7, The Voice translation)

Think about that imagery of sin…crouching, then pouncing.  It makes me think of a lion getting low in the grass so that his prey either does not see him – or if they do, they think he is just a harmless little thing.  Then pounce, the lion is there!

Is there a particular sin in crouching your life?  Either so small that you don’t see it for what it is – or that you think it is just a harmless little thing?  Let’s get the little things in our life under control and fix it while it’s little, so that it doesn’t turn into a big deal”.

“You must master it before it masters you.”  Genesis 4:7

MOLESKIN:

Rejoicing and mourning.  Rejoiced for the birth of Slappy’s BFF’s son.  Mourning the loss of Biohack’s MIL.  Prayers for those families.

THA-THANG:
Mosey to CMU pile and have everyone grab one. There are 5 stations basically set up in a circle. Stations are arranged clockwise in this order: #1, #5, #3, #2, then #4. Leave CMUs at station #2.

Mosey to station #1. Perform all the workouts at the station. Then Mosey to station #2. Do all exercises. Then to #3, #4, and finally #5. So, you are not running around in the circle but directly from one station to the next. Stations 2 and 4 require CMUs so proximity is nice.
Station exercises are:
#1 50 SSH, 40 Jump Squats, 30 Speed Skaters, 20 Plank Jacks, and 10 Burpees.
#2 50 Merkins, 40 Dips, 30 Upright Rows, 20 Shoulder Press, and 10 Renegade Rows.
#3 50 High Knees, 40 Rocky Balboas, 30 Jump Squats, 20 Mountain Climbers, and 10 Burpees.
#4 50 Squats with CMU, 40 Alternating Leg Lung Kicks, 30 Single Leg Deadlifts (15 each leg), 20 Kettlebell Swings, and 10 Single Leg Squats (5 each leg).
#5 50 LBC, 40 Should Taps, 30 Freddie Mercurys, 20 Flutter Kicks, and 10 V-Ups.
Do as many stations as time allows. Starting over after #5.

After putting up CMUs, 3 rounds of Pure Burn. Look it up. It sucks.

Then Mosey back to AO.
