9 bike riders and 3 runners got together at Crossroads for cardio, fellowship, and our leadership lesson featuring General Eisenhower.

First of all, Happy Birthday to Mayor!

Slaw wins the award for best dressed; Haze..well..

Broke’s broken in my bike already. Looks like it finally has found its home.

Gearwrench wins the survival award for making it back alive despite a close clip.

Freight was doing some Father’s Day shopping for himself..just in case;)

Gumby tried for a free drink.

Wirenut seemed a little lost for words when Mayor suggested that he lead a Q Source.

Wik and I had great fellowship as we ran the Blart loop. Blart runs this consistently.

Word:

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—Phil. 3:9 

“God himself, through his Son’s atoning work, sets everything right between him and us by counting Christ’s righteousness to us – the actual righteousness of His Son.” 

Wik took us out!

So much to be thankful for..you F3 guys are very much amongst them!

7 HIMS joined YHC and pushed themselves today. Achey Breaky has been coming back out. He did great..despite the fear that he would splash merlo. He didn’t! Keep on pushing! Blue Print surprised me and came up from Mt Holly. I hope he wasn’t too disappointed that we stayed within the confines of the tennis court, and that some of the workout was a little familiar.

But, we explained that we had done Heartbreak Hill 5 times with Westside on Tuesday, that there is a field with a hill to slip on, hidden coupons, rocks to pick up, trails to blaze,  enough area to get in a good 4 mile run, restrooms to maintain. Gear Wrench said there were some guys there to fix a toilet already, then said it was on account of one of our guys..haha. Ball Joint wants to see if he can get the water turned on so that we can have a “Splash Pad” workout one day. I don’t know about that, as Gear Wrench expressed some concerns about pee on the pad. So, come back again Achy, Blue Print, and others that haven’t been to Folsom for awhile. It has a lot to offer; best of all, it has  guys to push, encourage, chide,  and “run” you!

The exercise of prayer becomes then a path to peace of the deepest kind, a peace that passes understanding.”

With the Annihilation, Vacations,  and Forest City Event, I knew the Old School crowd would probably be small. But these guys put in some good work today!

12 Pax enjoyed fellowship, a cool morning and opportunities to either run or ruck.

We had to be hyper-vigilant as we dodged cars on what seemed to be a busy traffic morning; and Roscoe and I shared how we both seemed to have a feeling of PTSD as he ended his career and I ended a year of constantly being watchful, aware of everything going on around, and ‘on stage’.

Stroganoff was far ahead for about half of the run, just to suddenly appear beside us in the neighborhood. He got a little lost. Suddenly, Defib and Waterboy, who were also ahead, passed us going the opposite direction..having gotten a little turned around, and returned a little late..having done some hill repeats. (Wow, I wasn’t the lost one for once).

Great fellowship and laughs today..much needed.

Announcements:

Always great being out there; thanks for the opportunity to lead,

Seuss

Good showing at the Pub this morning. Ruckers outnumbered the Runners 8-3,  that is, after Termite returned as YHC was heading out on a possible search and rescue.  Maybe I wasn’t the best at giving directions; but it was a terrific morning to be out.

Word:

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” John 14:6‭-‬7 ESV

“There is only one way to the Father, one way to Salvation, that is Christ- not good works religion anything else. He talks about if you know Him, you know the Father. There are different levels of knowing: knowing a fact, understanding a truth behind the fact, having a relationship, having a deeper relationship and a deeper communion. The desire of every believer should be to know God better. We read and study the Word of God that we might know better the God of the Word.”

YHC took us out.

Great work, men!

Seuss

10 Pax + 1 later arrival came out to Midoriyama and pushed themselves. I appreciate you all being there, as it is Spring Break week, and many pax are out of town. We did have some issues with counting: A “count off” is 1,2,3.. not 1,1,1; the Q sets the pace during Gravel Pickers..guess I went too slow; and though I had the Febreze count down to a T, something, or somebody, went awry. Well, despite that, and some differences of opinion on Chic-fil-A and Reece’s Pieces(yuck), each man pushed himself. (Missed you, Mayor; we got up to 100 Air Presses in Febreze today).

Pledge

Warm-up: Gravel Pickers, Plank Stretch, Toy Soldiers

Word:

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

John 14:27 ESV

” People in the world walk by sight and depend on the externals, but Christians walk by faith and depend on the eternals. The Spirit of God teaches us the Word and guides us, not drags us, into the truth. He also reminds us of what he has taught us so that we can depend on God’s Word in difficult times of life. The Spirit uses the Word to give us his peace, his love, and his joy. If that does not calm a troubled heart, nothing will.”

Slaw brought water..and, I believe, a skillet challenge to YHC; Freight..my brother despite his questionable tastes, took us out.

Thankful for you all,

Seuss

that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.  John 3:15‭-‬16 ESV 

This has really struck me that in these verses, Jesus is talking about himself. “Verse 15 says that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. Verse 16 is the most famous summary of The Gospel in the Bible. The purpose of giving his Son was to make God’s great gift of eternal life available to anyone to-whoever believes in him, that is, whoever personally trusts in him.”
