Wet Jenga at The Equalizer

THE SCENE: Windy with a little rain

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Windmills IC
  • Baby Arm Circles IC | SSH IC

THA-THANG:

Head to pavilion. We’re playing Jenga. Pull a block—blocks have an exercise written on each side—pick an exercise—and do 15 of it. Blank block: cardio. Tower falls: take a lap.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:  Attitude—my predetermined outlook—so often determines whether I have a good day or a bad day. My attitude, more than anyone else’s actions, so often determine whether I’m a kind & patient father, a caring & attentive husband, a measured & thoughtful leader, or just a impatient, impossible to please jerk.

If I choose to start my day reflecting on what I have to be grateful for; if I ground myself in what is true & right and take 90 seconds to acknowledge how blessed I am—I pretty reliably have a good day; because once I stipulate that the best things I have, the essence of life, the stuff that actually matters—that I haven’t earned or deserved it; everything else tends to become the cherry on top.

So let’s take a moment. And each share one thing we’re grateful for—and let’s think about the things we take for granted and what a gift those things really are.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

 

Talked about not listening to the doubts we have in our heads.  That we can’t let our doubts get in the way of doing.  If we’re waiting to act when we are comfortable or have all the answers we won’t ever act.  God asks us to take the leap and trust he will be there.  We aren’t perfect and won’t be.  Don’t let that stand in the way.
