CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Booster talked about the example of sacrifice that Jesus gave us. That has stuck with me so I spent some time looking up quotes about sacrifice. 

“Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you’re not really losing it. You’re just passing it on to someone else.” Mitch Albom – author

Time, attention, money, love, family time.

THA-THANG:
The workout was a Tabata Timed workout with :40 seconds of workout at :20 seconds of rest 3 sets of each exercise.  The exercises listed below were a mixture of FiA workouts “borrowed” from my wife “Rapking,” and F3 staples. I had a random list of music playing so that when a song mentions men we would do a workout from the F3 side. When the music mentions women in the song we did a FiA workout. The only exception was Aerosmiths “Dude Looks Like a Lady” this song was the wild card and you could pick any exercise to complete. Some of the songs were “Man I feel Like a Woman,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “Watta Man.”

F3 List

  • Merkins
  • Curls
  • Overhead Press
  • Big Boy Sit-up

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The message in the workout is to not assume that a female workout is less intense or not as effective as a male workout. This message should be carried over in common life as well, and to never take for granted the importance of your partners role in a relationship. A relationship should not be dominated by one person and instead needs to be a team effort with equal input and contribution. Also today is the start of Lent for most faiths and is practiced by many. Always remember to never take the women in your life for granted and to treat them with the utmost respect just as a HIM should, but also don’t assume that the females are the weaker sex, the workout should be an indication of just how strong most women in our lives can be.

MOLESKIN:
We did say a prayer for Mermaid’s and Anchorman’s friends who are both going through major medical issues in their life. We prayed to keep them and their family strong during this very stressful time in their life.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I told a story about my oldest daughter and her actions.  I counseled her to be a good example, and she (in the moment) did not want to be an example for anyone.  Her little sister was acting out in the same manner, and I asked her to be a good example.  Whether we want to be or not, we are all examples.  It was in that moment that I realized the issues I had with her, were things that I had modeled poorly for her.  You never know who is watching, and how they will choose to follow.

Jesus set a great example of Love, he could have chosen violence, or sarcasm, or really anything, but he chose to model love, and we should follow that lead.

Some relative verses:

Philippians 3:17
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us.

1 Peter 5:3
Not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.

1 Corinthian 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”

Titus 2:7
Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,

MOLESKIN:
Pray for travel to Miami for Anchorman.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Sacrifice – Do we sacrifice for our families, friends and God all of the time?  Of course not.  We’re human. We sin.  We think of ourselves too much.

However, sacrifice can become a habit like prayer, exercise, etc. so let’s all strive to make sacrifice for God and others a part of our every day life.

Sacrifice means giving to the Lord whatever He requires of our time, talent and treasures to further His word. Our willingness to sacrifice is an indication of our devotion to God.

1 John 3:16  By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

Ephesians 5:25   Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,

John 13:34   A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

Galatians 6:9   And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Hebrews 13:15-16    Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

John 15:13    Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Philippians 2:3-4     Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

MOLESKIN:

I’ve been thinking about sacrifice and if I’m doing enough for the Lord, my family, etc.
