THE THANG:

4.55 mi loop…Nice rapid elevation gains inside the park and leveled out for the home stretch. 17.8 min/mi Nice pace, boys considering sandbags coupled with terrain. Coupon-swaps were generally prompted by someone having that feeling something is crawling up your shorts…its tick season!!! Pretty much everyone was pulling them buggers off.

MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. 2.0 Workout will slide to another weekend due to nearly everyone being out of town or committed to something on May 20. Look for separate message in channel. 2. Only 3 weeks left till the Murph!
3. Rocketman is helping PAX in the Blueridge Region to plant new flags in Middleburg and Berryville.

COT:
Talked about F3, core principles, etc.

(This message loosely taken from a past sermon but seemed appropriate based on conversations tonight)

Have integrity
Do not attempt to compartmentalize your life and let sin enter into one area of your life and expect everything to be OK as long as that part of your life doesnt affect all the others. (Heavy drinking, porn, lying to your boss, courting a co-worker as a married man, etc) This is the Titanic myth.

The Titanic was designed with multiple isolated chambers to allow it to float if the hull was breached and any two of its chambers were flooded.

Same goes for your life. Wear the shield of God with you always, do not let sin sneak in and takeover any part of you. The part you try to compartmentalize will eventually flood, fill-up, and will take the rest of you down.

Have integrity in all that you do, in all aspects of your life. Be whole.

CoT: May is Mental Health Month
Be open to the truth that healthy individuals feel pain and use it to become stronger. Strong people feel pain, strong people use pain, strong people feel all of that emotion. Strong people are not stronger than their pain. Strong people are really intimate with their pain.

Pain is so beautiful. Pain is what makes us strong. Pain is what makes us human. So many of us think that what we want in life is just to be happy. I really wonder if that’s true. I wonder if we just want to be happy. Or I wonder if we just want to be human.

I don’t want to just be happy. I want to be sad when it’s time to be sad. I want to go through grief and inner turmoil to figure out my values, to figure out what I really believe in. I want to feel discipline and resistance, those are not happy emotions. Discipline and resistance are kind of painful, but that’s what you need to feel in order to do hard, great things. – Sara Brewer, Overcome Pornography for Good podcast
