Batting Practice

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSHs, windmills, little baby arm circles forward and backward, some Michael Phelps, hokey-pokeys, and tempo squats

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the flagpole

We only had 5 PAX to start, so we couldn’t easily divide up and play Ghostman Baseball.  Instead, we stayed together and did some Ghostman Baseball batting practice.

We rolled one exercise ball to determine the exercise at each base, and we rolled the second exercise ball to determine the exercises at home.  Since we stayed together, each PAX rolled once at home and we did those exercises together before moving on to second base, third base, and home.  In between each hit (single, double, triple), we ran back to home for more exercises.

On our way to second base one time, we ran into a walker who asked what we were doing.  We said, “exercising, join in.”  And, he did.  Turns out it was Potato Head who was named at the Arsenal and had just moved from Maryville to right across the street from the Equalizer.  Small world.  So, we ended with 6 PAX.

Two of Mouthwash’s rolls landed on burpees for a total of 35.  We did an extra 15 to get to a nice round 50 before ending.

MARY:
We had about a minute left, so we did some ATMs to cash out.

Me and 6 of the best men I know

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Repeated the Word from Shamrock on Wednesday….

The inspiration for the Word came from Caveman.  Last time I led at Shamrock, I talked in the BOM about legacy.  Living in such a way that we leave the legacy that we want to leave.  After the workout, he made the comment, “What we do with our ‘dash’ matters….”.  What was he talking about?  He meant, that one day your body will be ash and there will be a tombstone with your name on it.  It will have the day you were born and the day that you died – and in between, there will be a DASH.  That dash represents today, this week, this year.  You are living that DASH.  What we do with our ‘dash’ matters.

  • Are you doing your utmost to use your precious few years wisely?
  • Perhaps there is a hatchet that needs to be buried
  • Perhaps there is a neglected relationship that needs investment.
  • Perhaps there is a bad habit you need to put to death
  • Perhaps there is a good habit you need to build into your lifestyle
  • Are you using your precious few years wisely?

Psalm 39:4-5, “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”

Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to number our days carefully so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.”

MOLESKIN:

Loved being out there with you men!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:1‭-‬5 ESV

MOLESKIN:
Whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, takes off your relish for spiritual things, whatever increases the authority of the body over the mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may seem in itself.” Susanna Wesley 

Susanna told this to John her son as a reminder that we as men need to keep our guard up or enemy will attack and cause injuries.

While on this earth we need to remember that when we fully follow Christ, there will be a form of suffering. We just need to dig deep in our walk with God so we can saturate the Gospel  in our family and community
