COT: Many thanks to PPAX for coming out and allowing me lead them in this morning’s workout. You guys kept me true to myself following my Q and pushing me to finish each exercise.

Take away message: This morning’s workout taught me the true meaning of holding myself accountable. Also I learned how it is very important to have a strong circle of individuals around you that want see you win at life… This workout was not easy at all. I made a comment after the first round of exercise that “The workout looked really good on paper.” After each exercise into followed by burpees then the 40 yard dash and back and over again actually got harder rather than easier. When I’d start to walk I’d hear Pop – Fly and the rest of the PAX yell out “Come on Zeus NO WALK!!” And I trotted on. The PAX were teaching me how to be accountable. I received this lesson with a positive mindset. With that said I thank God for today’s lesson. I am grateful for the PAX that came out and pushed as well as the PAX that couldn’t make it this morning. I pray all homes are safe and sound. I pray that God looks at the desires of our hearts and not give us what we want, but bless us with what we need to be better husbands, fathers, brothers, mentors and contributors to our community. Amen

CoT:
At each location, we got on the ground and then back up again. Getting knocked down and getting back up again is the name of the game; it’s how we grow. When we get back up as strong or stronger than before, we demonstrate what is called resilience. Burpees do that, and we are in the burpee challenge. So, in the immortal words of Chumbawamba, "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you’re never gonna keep me down." Or, as the Apostle Paul said, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Phi.4). Face adversity, test yourself, and seek to come back stronger than ever, if not on your own strength then by the strength of the Almighty God.

COT: heavy hearts after word of another young life taken by suicide yesterday. Men do not stay silent! Vulnerability in our hurt is strength. Find our hope in God and not in a country or an elected official. My truth is in His name and for His glory. Let us be men that open to our wives, our friends, and use of 43ft of influence to change this equation- in our faith communities, our healthcare communities, education communities, and work communities. Be a voice for those in need and arms of love to those hurting. Be light in a dark place and be love.

Aye!!

COT:

The early church faced far worse circumstances than us, including political revolution and oppression and deadly pandemics. But they realized that we become what we worship. Rather than focus on the circumstances and becoming fearful people, they kept their focus higher. Because of their devotion to fellowship and the prayers, these Christians had awe in their souls and generosity and gladness in their hearts. That generosity and gladness won over critics in hostile governments and changed cultures. May we be focused on higher good and improve our community by letting our gladness flow into good works families, work, and community.
