5 showed at folsom this morning for some blocks and some reflecting!

For the workout, we moseyed, did some block work, mosey, block work, show to know!

Then about 610, I wanted to end things a little different! I wanted to share some things with the pax… yesterday was my last day of being 38! And all I could think about is how fast this life will be gone! This made me think about some things…

First, missed opportunities! Gospel opportunities! The main reason this has happened is because my focus has been on me and not on Christ! I don’t want to miss an opportunity to share the most important thing, Christ!

Second, I want to love my wife the way Christ loves the church! Again, I’m a selfish man! My prayer is God would lead me to love my wife, in a way that is much different then the way the world does, He would lead me to love her the way He does! Unselfishly!

Third, that I would teach my boys what it looks like to be a Man! Be watchful stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

I don’t have a daughter, but if you have one, remember your the one who sets the bar for who she ends up with! SET IT HIGH! She to needs to know what a man looks like!

announcments… Wednesday night Forge! 630 to740 Grits and greens in Lowell.

Snowbird men’s retreat in March! Let me know if your interested?

Prayer request… Medicine Woman’s brother in law, Def Leppard, Aflac, and each other!

Thanks for the opportunity!

When I got to folsom this morning, there where four pax there waiting on me! One guy gets out of his truck, and I’m thinking is that an FNG? Nope…. it’s Allen Tate! Good to see him!

Then we moseyed a lot, stopped for some hip slappers along the way, moseyed some more, stopping for some four corner Dora at the bottom parking lot. Moseyed some more, Roadie saying “ this is not a running AO”, my reply is “ I’m Qing this “, but really I was just trying to stay warm!

19,18, working out way down to one, without letting the block touch the ground! Lots of mumble chatter! Somewhere around 15 Gomer said he’s getting a call from the VFD, and he has to go! None of us heard the call? We finished with the blocks and mosey around the park to finish up! I think it came to 202 reps on the curls and presses, I’ll be filling that later!

The hole time we where there this morning we got to see God’s amazing light show, shooting star after shooting star, pretty awesome! Psalm 19:1 talks about how the heavens declare Gods glory! So true!

prayer request: all of us, that we would be the pastors of our homes, Medicine Woman is having a MRI of his leg today, and for the ones that weren’t there today we miss ya!

thanks for the chance to lead, and thank you Lord for the light show!

Then off for a mosey to the top of the park for the pledge, plugged in a few lbc’s while we where there, then time to mosey back to my truck, drop the tailgate and grab a block! Took them to the tennis courts for a little Route 66, but in this case “ Block 66” , slaw asked earlier, “ are we gonna get to do some burpees?” I️ didn’t want to disappoint him, so even better blockees! After block 66, we move to the playground for some thrusters with the block, 15 ic , then 10 pull-ups pup, repeat! Then time for one last mosey, around the park! Great job this morning men!

I️ had shared with the group what I️ read last night on Desiring God Twitter page, the most repeated command in the Bible is for us to be happy/ not happiness in worldly desires, but being joyful in all things through Christ! Enjoying Him, and His creation! In the good times and bad! And let this be a testimony to those who don’t know Him, it draws people! And your gonna impact people one way for the other, do it in a way that glorifies God!

Anouncments: 630 WO on Thanksgiving morning, lead by the one and only Medicine Woman, Says he has something special planned! Christmas Town 5k this weekend!

Prayer request: Roadies wife’s grandma and Medicine Woman’s uncle! And all the rest of us! That people will see the joy of the Lord in us!

Been a long week , not sure I have much gas in the tank, but somehow when we get around our brothers some strange burst of energy comes out of nowhere! With that being said 630 hits and its time to get to it!

while the pax recovers, a quick talk about personal holiness, how what we need most from each other is for us to be pursuing Christ , and how He has called us to be set apart for His glory! And naturally that affects every relationship we have!

Now that we have caught our breath, it’s time to run! One lap around the park! Ended up with a little over 3 miles, and I can’t lift my arms, but I guess we had a little more in the tank then we thought! Thanks for the push men!
