No Christmas Day workout. Back on Tuesday for ShamRuck

COT:
With Christmas coming Monday, I recently stopped to think about this holiday, why we celebrate it, and what it means to me vs. what it used to mean for me.

I grew up a Christian but wouldn’t say I lived in a Christian home. We went to church, we professed our belief in Jesus as our Savior, and we prayed at the dinner table. That was maybe the extent of it.

I bring this up because at Christmastime, I recall more about trees, lights, presents, and Santa Claus than I do about the real meaning behind Christmas. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It’s in the NAME! If you are a Christian, then you recognize Jesus as the Christ (anointed one) or Immanuel, God with us (Matt 1:23). Not only God with us but God’s rescuer for us. This is the truer and much better Santa. There is no “better watch out, better not cry”, or you don’t get what you want. His message is so much better. Jesus invites our brokenness and our struggles. He offers us grace and mercy and eternity with Him. He’s worthy of our celebration and worship.

Hebrews 1:1–2 says, “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” The creator of all things! God with us!

The “most wonderful time of the year” is God’s ultimate gift to humanity: Jesus, the uncreated Creator. Jesus, the one of whom we sing, “Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings. Risen with healing in his wings.” This IS the Christmas story. Make it about Him!

Fine. I’ll do it.

raamdev.com/2021/one-percent/#:~:text=15%20minutes%20%3D%201%25%20of%20your%20day

You’ve just worked hard for 3% of your day.
45 minutes.
– Are you owning and making the most of the 3% of your day that you’re investing in with F3?
– If this is one of the hardest things you do all day, what does the other 97% look like?

We just worked hard over 3 consecutive 1% time periods (15 minutes).

15 minutes is just 1% of your day. Here’s a neat formula I’ve heard over the years on how to maximize just 1% of your day, every day.
– Silence for 5 minutes
– The world is loud. Cultivate a rhythm or unplugged silence.
– Reflect for 5 minutes
– What’s going on up there (head) and in here (heart)? Cultivate a rhythm of reflection.
– Pray for 5 minutes
– Prayer is plugging into the source of life by talking with God. Cultivate a rhythm of conversation with your Creator.

We took a little longer and knocked out 4 miles. Toretto, decided to forgo the ruck and ran for 2 straight hours and running 12 miles while we rucked.

It’s the busy season, keep your eye on what’s important and don’t be distracted by the noise. Family, wife, work whatever you deem important, don’t let the noise and less important things distract you from the important things.
