CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When you are feeling angry about a work situation, you may be too close to it. Step back, check your ego, detach yourself and approach with with a different attitude.
MOLESKIN:
I meant for this workout allow the cheetah’s out front. However, when the PAX gets divided into groups we instantly go into TEAM mode. All of the teams stuck together and finished the workout together. That was great to see. I think if I were to do this again, I would start everyone at the same spot and have an order to the stations that didn’t smoke the shoulders 3 straight times.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked to the PAX about the joy I have seen this week as I drop off my daughter at school. “New” safety patrol students for next year do the job with joy, fear, excitement, and a willingness to please. The “mentor” safety patrol offers advise and help and tips. It’s awesome. We need to be more like the safety patrol students- eager to try new things, eager to listen to the help being offered, eager to step out of our comfort zone. We need to be like the mentors- eager to offer sound advise and help. PAX challenged to either open car doors, mentor, or both and do it all with joy and excitement!
MOLESKIN:
Dudes got afternit today! It was cool to see the Rucker’s and hook up with them for the BOM!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
11 PAX killed it today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Plank-walk around the outside of the fountain sucked by an appropriate amount for a good beatdown. But as difficult as it was, I didn’t see anyone look up when they were halfway around, stop, and say, “I did my half!” Each individual kept pushing until the two completed the circle together.

That’s similar to the way it should work at home. Every household has a pile of hard stuff to do. Don’t “meet your partner halfway”. Take it together as a team. Try to do more than “your half.” As Paul said, we should love our wives as Christ loved the Church, and He didn’t “meet us halfway”. He came all the way around for us. Romans 5:8 says that “God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us.”

MOLESKIN:
Congrats to Pup on HS graduation! He’s off to the Citadel in July.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Everyone is super sore from Hardship Hill and super stoked for the next CSAUP!
