COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 strong this morning:  Booster, Waxjob, Neutron, Scrum, Snaggletooth, Sweeper, Trolley, Bartman

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today’s workout was all about how to get from Point A to Point B.  In life we are usually focused on getting to “Point B” as quickly as possible.  “Point B” can be anything:  new job, more money, success, popularity, etc.  I reminded the group this morning that sometimes we need to slow down and enjoy the ride.  Take the long route, enjoy your current situation, stop & smell the roses.   Some of those are metaphorical and some are literal, regardless the point is that we don’t always need to be sprinting in a straight line at all times.  There are times to sprint, and there are times to stroll.  Pay attention and try to know the difference to prevent yourself from getting burnt out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The common denominator in all of these mass shootings, and the sexual misconduct violations are that all of the perpetrators are MEN. It’s men that are hurting our women and children. It stresses the importance of pulling men out of isolation and into community.

MOLESKIN:

With all of my mis-q’s today it felt like a VQ. I’m thankful for you men that I consider brothers. Thankful for your support and your leadership. Iron truly sharpens Iron.

Have your wife’s back.  My wife and I had a fight this week that centered around her feeling that I didn’t have her back in a certain situation.  The scenario had to to with our kids and I basically let her be the “bad cop” without stepping in to help her out.  Lesson of the week:  cover your wife’s 6 at all times!
