CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This workout was inspired by the Kushti wresting and training style practiced in Indian. It’s a fun variation on stuff we do all the time. Take a look at the link below for a good description and some videos.

It does no good to worry about what may or may not happen tomorrow; nor does it do any good whatsoever to dwell on mistakes you might have made in the past. We can only learn from past mistakes and modify future behavior for the better. The only day that matters is the one before you. Today

Read the verse below about God’s sovereignty. I would think if I really believed God is sovereign, I wouldn’t worry so much. And I also think I would find more assurance and comfort in following Christ’s example and become a servant of those around me.
MOLESKIN:
Who does majesty, glory, and power belong to?
Who is righteous in all His ways and never wrong?
Who is God? Sovereign
Who is awesome?
Who do all men depend on for life and breath?
The author of life and death
The often overlooked but still He’s all-seeing, all-knowing
Holding all creation in its place, the God of wrath and grace
The one who could crush every idol man would rather chase
And leads men to the narrow gate, through these crooked paths we navigate
This world exists cause You’ve commanded it
So is Your hand in it?
Or have you handed it over to man and turned away and abandoned it?
Did you try your best and then left man to handle the rest?
Will your plans find success or should we second guess
When world leaders are deceivers, eager to puff their chests?
Is life a game of chess? Do you have these kings in check?
With so much evil how can we believe you’re good?
But I finally understood when I saw that man nailed to wood
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Would like to play two hand touch football on the 24th if we can get enough people to commit to coming to the beatdown. Maybe bring the young men out too?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
At church this Sunday our pastor stated that we often hear the phrase, “Don’t just sit there.  Do something.” but what we really could use to hear is, “Don’t just do something.  Sit there.”  We did something difficult and awkward (which we should be used in F3), we sat in silence for about a minute.  Everyone was encourage to reflect, pray, or just work on clearing their mind and taking a brief moment to think about nothing.  I challenge everyone to take some time this week to be still, reflect, and/or give your mind a break.  Don’t just do something!  Sit there!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
In their final album as a group, Cream had a song called Badge on side two.  They were calling it quits because singer/bass guitarist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker couldn’t get along.  The song, Badge, was a collaboration between Eric Clapton and George Harrison.  Harrison played guitar on the selection under the name L’Angelo Mysterioso because his contract with Apple records didn’t allow him working with other groups.  He was paying Eric Clapton back for his work on the Beetles song, While My Guitar Gently Weeps.  One line in the song has always stuck with me and continues to offer encouragement.  “And you better pick yourself up from the ground, before they bring the curtain down.”

Get it done before it’s too late, don’t procrastinate, no time like the present.  That’s hard to do sometimes and actions are certainly subject to multiply priorities.  There is one that should take the top billing in our day to day life that unfortunately for me (and I suspect for many of you) gets push aside too easily and too frequently.  That is my relationship with God.  It may be the same for you.  For others it may be a lack of a relationship with God.  Regardless, each and every day I need to get up, be right with Him, and live in His light because the curtain will be brought down.  As the Bible says, we don’t know the day nor the hour.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently I saw a video online of a bullrider at a rodeo. Not long after he was out of the chute, the bull pitched forward and the bullrider slapped his head on the horns and was knocked off and unconscious. The clowns tried to keep the bull distracted for a while, but once it turned to go back to the defenseless rider, a man ran out layed down on the bullrider, and hugged him to protect him from further harm. As I researched further, I learned that the man that protected the bullrider was the guy’s father. That is biblical, sacrificial, F3 manly type love. It was a love that would willingly put itself in harm’s way for the defense of another. I used that illustration in my Sunday sermon. Earlier this week, I had one of those moments where I completely blew it with my son. I got super-frustrated, and lost my cool, and did all the things a Dad shouldn’t do. Once I had calmed down and realized how stupid I was being, I was just sitting in a recliner holding my boy. A thought occurred to me in that moment. Instead of being the dad that protected that boy from the bull, when I let my anger go, I became the bull that tried to stomp my son. Realizing this, I just was reminded of Ephesians 6:4, “Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
