FINISHING STRONG

Ball Joint reached out and said he had an open Q for 12/30 and ask if I wanted it. It was a no brainer, of course I wanted it. As I thought of what kind of work we would do I knew merkins would fit in perfectly and with it being the end of the year and the last workout at Folsom for the year all I could think of was finishing strong. We’ve all had our ups and downs throughout the year but so what! It’s life and life happens to everyone. So if you find yourself in the ups of or the down don’t think you’re special, you’re not! What is special is have brothers you know will be there in the gloom either looking to pick someone up (maybe you maybe me) or looking to (you or maybe me) to pick them up. At different times we’re both of these things. One thing I’ve observed is that if you’re not getting in the gloom it’s hard to be picked up or a picker upper! Anyway… enough of that… let’s get to what you came to see. THE WORK! One other thing, I knew it would need to be a good one as I had heard through the grape vine that a couple of elites may be there and they were! Check the Pax list

What a great year it has been! Some of y’all are wondering how I could say that. Let me tell ya…  life is not about circumstances, it’s all about who you turn to in those circumstances. And if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior then you have had a rough year and a rough life for that matter. So with the most serious of tones  “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭1:14-15‬ ‭ESV‬

Thanks for pushing me men, can’t wait till next year!

Wichita out and on to the next one!

 

Disruption at the Coconut Horse

Well Defib’s half marathon training plan is in week two and he wrote whoever showed a prescription for seven miles.  The Gloom was real but not as bad as it could have been and it was actually nice out considering the rain that kept falling.  Short Sale, JJ, Defib, and YHC ran a little more than two EC miles and returned to the Horse AO but no one else was there by 0530 so we headed out for the Coconut route.

Afterwards, JJ left for church and Flintstone showed up for Q Source.  YHC led week one of Q Source on “Disruption”.  Basically leaders create movement to advantage in others and make things happen.  Sort of like Defib’s prescription.  He even exhorted me to sign up for the Biloxi half.  It just may happen.

Puddle Jumpin

Wet morning but these men did not let that stop them.
It was raining sideways, up, down, and all around. one time while walking I just stepped in a puddle so deep there may have been a fish or two in it.

The Bible verse this morning was from Joshua 1:6-9
I found this reading plan in the Bible App. Strong and courageous Leadership Lessons from the Book of Joshua.

Joshua had some Big shoes to fill. Moses had just passed away and he was now in charge. Imagine yourself having to follow Moses!
The man who met God on the mountain and was put in charge of telling his people about the 10 Commandments. But God told Joshua to not be afraid (thats Aint Skeered for the Dallas Pax) and follow the commandments. When moving into a new leadership position it can be scary. Even if you have followed the leader before you, when it becomes your time sometimes, we suddenly forget all we have learned. Stay strong be courageous and follow the plan. Always remember God Has your Back. Start this new year off on the right foot. Do not be afraid to ask God for the best Direction, he will never point you the wrong way.

Prayer Request: Each other, Big Pappy and his family, Sister Act and his family,

The Bed Pan is Full!
