CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

With the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season, even though we are often reminded of the true “Reason for the Season.” Many times this is ignored or not given a lot of thought. Of course, Christmas time is the season to celebrate the birth of Jesus, but often we are distracted. I saw on the sign at a church down the road a new phrase that can reinvigorate us during this time. “Don’t focus on the presents, focus on His presence.” 

Christmas celebrates God becoming Man. The Word incarnate. The Almighty Lord of the Universe humbled Himself enough to become a little baby, born into this world to experience all of the pain and suffering of humanity… and He did this for us.

8 HIM (2 pre-rucked)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When Ribbed asked me about my weekend this morning during the pre-ruck, I told him that “It was good, just not enough time to do nothing.” While this wasn’t going to originally be the focus of my BOM, that phrase churned in my mind throughout the workout. During the holiday season, many of us become busier and busier. Whether it is kid’s concerts at school, holiday parties with work or friends (shoutout to Judge Judy for welcoming us into his home this weekend, what an incredible evening!), shopping for presents, etc. We tend to go, go, go during this last half of December. I challenge you all to take time out of your day to do “nothing.” I don’t mean sit and stare at a wall nothing, but do something unscheduled, something without a deadline, something that makes you a better HIM. For me, I am committing to spending an extra 15 mins before heading out into the gloom this week, sitting in front of my lit Christmas tree, with my gas logs going, and spending some extra time in silent prayer.
