THA-THANG:
Mosey to Big Parking Lot by Big Duck Pond

Spread out and used parking lot spaces as distance markers for our upcoming travels.

Bear crawled one space, stopped for one merkin – Bear crawled two spaces, stopped for two merkins up to 5 and then back down to 1 – all in same direction – did Hello Dolly until 6 finished – mosey back down to bottom of parking lot

Same thing but Lunge one space, one Bobby Hurley – up to 5 and then back to 1 – Flutter Kicks until 6 finished – mosey back down

Finished with one Burpee, one broad jump – up to 5 and back down to 1 – Rosalitas until 6 finished – mosey back down

Mosey to the coupon pile – stopped at the duck pond to do a little Duck and Weave – 2 lines – everyone in duck walk while the 6 weaves between the lines to the front.    Garbage truck wasn’t cooperating so eventually pulled the plug and headed on back to the coupons where we had to avoid the garbage truck for the third time.

Had a little 3/2/1 – Strength / Cardio / Abs Tabata timer planned for the coupons but the rain started coming down pretty strongly and the phone wasn’t cooperating.   Ended up with about a minute each of curls, squat thrusters, rows, Rocky Balboa, squat punches, mountain climbers, triceps, overhead presses and maybe something else.

Mosey back to AO with S.O.S. (my 2.0) calling for a Jailbreak to finish us off right.

MARY:
Jailbreak allowed just enough time for a few Freddy Mercuries

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Something our pastor said last week has stuck with me and felt appropriate to share this morning.   This year has been and will undoubtedly continue to be filled with unknowns and wonders about what might happen next.   Any plans or goals we had at the beginning of the year have likely been derailed, altered or just plain given up on.   However, despite the uncertainty of the future nothing has changed at all about our purpose in the present.  In this moment right now, this morning, today our mission is still the same.   The call to the gospel is still the same…our purpose to live our life in a way that brings God glory is still the same…our need to love our neighbors is still the same.   Nothing about the unknowns of the future can prevent you from reaching out to a friend you haven’t heard from in a while this morning.   Letting them know God put you on my mind this morning and just wanted to see how you are doing and let you know I am praying for you.  Or maybe inviting a friend to lunch you haven’t seen in a while or calling someone up to apologize and reconcile.   Let the Holy Spirit do the work and I encourage you to follow his promptings.

Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 6:19-24

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is [k]clear, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is [l]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [m]wealth.

Lately, YHC has been contemplating my priorities. What should we hope to gain in this world? This passage reminds us of our focus in live:  to serve God. If we make our priority gaining earthly treasures, we cannot truly serve God. Lay up your treasures in Heaven and they will be eternal.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Romans 12: 7-11:

“Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

While we undergo suffering in some shape/form right now, we as believers know that there is a purpose in it and can take comfort that we will come through this stronger than before.  Take heart men, and represent Christ well in being a positive influence for our families, communities, and the world.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lord, I put my life in your hand. I trust in you, my God. – PSALM 25:1-2
MOLESKIN:
What is the power of hope?
Hope is the belief that circumstances will get better. It’s not a wish for things to get better— it’s the actual belief, the knowledge that things will get better, no matter how big or small.
Let’s be the change we want: in our families, our communities, our country, and in our world. Let’s put the focus on God and trust that he will continue to guide us.
