COT

I noticed 6/17 spot at Lifeline needed a Q so I sent a DM to Hot Corner and he said it’s yours. So I planned a short warmup and an even shorter workout that would have the legs ready for what I really wanted to do which was play a little UF Rules Football. Warmup was full of SSHs, Merkins, and lots of mobility work. Whoopee and his band of misfits exited stage left at this point to get in a good ruck while the rest of us got in a quick workout. The workout consisted of lunges, bear-crawls, high knees, but kickers, jogs, and sprints. Now that the legs are juiced and ready to get after it we’re all ready for some football. Mayor complained about team selection process but ever since he’s been on IR he’s been quite the whiney b!+ch anyway. After a few scores between teams the ruckers showed back up and I let Mayors team choose 2 players since they were down a man in the first session. My team picked up Tiger while the lesser squad picked up Whoopie and Roscoe. This seemed to appease any discrepancies in team selection previously mentioned. We still got in a little work while playing. You see the rules were if your team scored then your team does 10 squats. On the other side of the ball if your team is scored on your team does 10 burpees. Team Uno (my squad) did like 60 squats to only 30 burpees. That ratio alone tells you everything you need to know about team Dos and how good Mayor McBrickhands and Slickdigits Stagecoach’s team faired in the game. As a matter of fact if not Mr. Whoop Ass Whoopee himself showing back up the game wouldn’t have been that close. He would be my MVP vote for today if we were doing such a thing. Nothing like getting the game ball for the Altlanta Falcons Superbowl Squad right Whoopee. All jokes aside we all won today because we got in good workout and had some fun while doing so.

Announcements: Street Cleanup this Sat. Rice and Beans tomorrow, Lunch at Bubba’s 33 on Wed. Blood Drive the 26th.

Praise – Prayers: There was an In-law Relocation mentioned, My mom, Turtleman’s Family, Hall Family, Multiple families of recent Drowning incidents, Gumby’s Mom, Westside’s Father in Law, Each Other

DONE

Three ran, two rucked. All stayed for this COT:

Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) – “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”  In our walk with Christ, we often encounter challenges that test our faith and stamina. It’s easy to feel weary and let the burdens of life weigh us down. However, God calls us to live with a spirit of vitality and purpose, no matter our age or circumstances.

The story behind Toby Keith’s song “Don’t Let the Old Man In” illustrates this message. Inspired by a conversation with Clint Eastwood, Keith wrote this song after learning about Eastwood’s commitment to filming a movie at the age of 88. When asked how he manages to keep going, Eastwood simply replied, “I get up every day, and I don’t let the old man in.”

This attitude aligns with the biblical call to renew our strength in the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who hope in the Lord will find their strength renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Our trust in God empowers us to live each day with enthusiasm and resilience, regardless of our age.

Just as Clint Eastwood’s determination inspired Toby Keith, we too can draw inspiration from those around us who live vibrantly for God. More importantly, we can find strength in our relationship with Christ.

When we focus on Him and not on our limitations, we can overcome any obstacle.  Let us strive to live each day to its fullest, trusting that God will provide the strength we need. Instead of succumbing to weariness, let’s embrace the vitality and purpose God has given us. Remember, it’s not about our age or circumstances but about our trust in the Lord.
