CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently spent some time away from my family on business travel, and that always reminds me how much I love them.  I think that sometimes we take each other for granted.  This probably goes double for the people close to you.  Sometimes it’s really difficult to get past all of the day to day stress and take a moment to appreciate these relationships.  So I just wanted to encourage everyone to pause for a moment and spend some downtime with your family.  This could be as simple as playing Legos with kids or have coffee in the morning with your spouse.  These small moments are really what keeps us together and reaffirms our commitment to each other.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We all have something that wakes up up from time to time or something that keeps us awake. Turn to Matthew 6 when you are heavy laden with worries of this world.

Matthew 6

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
MOLESKIN:
A word from Wendell Berry about peace in the midst of what worries you.

“The Peace of Wild Things”

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
***Attention! I’m looking at putting a t-shirt order together. We’d need 12 shirts to be ordered before they would ship so I’m trying to judge interest amongst the PAX. I feel like there are enough guys like myself that have started in the last few months that would want a shirt or two. Send me a message on GroupMe if you’d like one and I’ll determine if there is enough interest.***

THA-THANG:

Started off with a song.  Flower by Moby (Known for lyrics Bring Sally Up, Bring Sally Down).  Hold the bottom of a squat for the entire song, but when the song says Bring Sally Up, you explode off the ground like a squat jump and then right back to the squat.

Mosey to Mt Suckmore

Deck of Cards – Red cards were bear crawl up the hill and Iron Mikes to match the number on the card.  Black cards were run the hill and squats at the top.  Jacks=11, Queens,=12, Kings=13, Aces=14, Joker=20

Q drew a card and we performed.  If you got done, then you held either the squat or lunge position until the 6 was done and we mosey back to the bottom and do it again.

We were not able to finish the deck of cards, but what we got done was brutal enough.

Mosey back to the AO.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You are a product of your choices and nothing else.

Galatians 5 talks about the Fruits of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Flesh.  It tells us not to engage in things to gratify the flesh, but instead do things to gratify the spirit.  This tells me that there is a choice to be made there.  The choice you make will determine your next step and eventually your outcome.  Are you making choices to gratify the spirit and see the outcome that you desire to see.

Be mindful of the choices that you make.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Part of a sermon from last Sunday, if we aren’t in Gods word consistently our default will become self worship. Truth is found in Gods word and we need to live our lives with the idea there is something bigger than us in this world. When we live as though we are the center of the universe it leads to a miserable and stale existence.
MOLESKIN:
We prayed for lady junk who is starting chemo soon and for tweet-e’s friend Kyle who is going through a 12 step program currently.
