Observations: We moved a lot quicker through the 60% IPX4 workout than last time, and we did more distance/reps this time. So, this was a positive indication of progress against a benchmark.

Announcements: Thursday’s workout (12/31, New Years Eve) will be held at 0700 instead of 0530 due to the holiday.

CoT: YHC shared some thoughts and experiences with leveraging the power of role models in confronting life’s choices and challenges. It is difficult to consistently stay on the harder path of meaning rather than the cheap and easy way. Asking ourselves what our role model would do when we are confronted with such choices brings power. Establish your own role model. Live your life as if your role model were watching you always.

Be a role model. Your children will learn more from who you are than from what you say. Try to demonstrate proper behavior more consistently to those in our stewardship. Strive to be worthy of emulation.

We all have an ultimate role model in the form of Jesus Christ, whom we can use at any time and in most situations. “What would Jesus do?” Brings power. Leverage Him if all else fails.
