COT: As I’ve gotten older and can’t keep up with the whipper snappers in terms of reps or speed, I’ve started to focus more on form in exercise to get more out of what I actually can do. I’ve been doing the same in my private life saying no to more things and trying to be locked in on the things I can do.

COT: YHC shared about a challenging extended family relationship that’s been a recurring source of frustration. After reframing the situation as spiritual resistance training, things have genuinely improved. Just like F3, growth comes through discomfort. Those hard interactions can be seen as workouts God puts in front of us to strengthen our ability to love our neighbors. With Thanksgiving coming up, better start practicing now!

COT:
One of the dad’s from my son’s baseball team passed from a heart attack last week. Today my wife and I are taking our son to the service. This is his first exposure to the sadness life can sometimes throw our way. We think he’s ready to learn that sometimes you have to deal with tragedy. But gentleman, please take care of yourselves. Be healthy. Be active. Eat right. Get the tests you’ve been putting off. Tell the people you love that you love them.
