CoT:
In this workout, we helped each other overcome tremendous challenges. Similarly, there are those of us struggling with mental challenges that need our support. A few things to leave you with: Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America.
22 veterans commit suicide EVERY DAY.
So be aware that you likely encounter people every day who may appear normal, but are struggling inwardly. Please reach out for help if you need help. Anything you do to reach out to those struggling could be small and simple, but could save a life.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a United States-based suicide prevention network of over 160 crisis centers that provides 24/7 service via a toll-free hotline with the number 1-800-273-8255 (TALK). It is available to anyone in suicidal crisis or emotional distress. The caller is routed to their nearest crisis center to receive immediate counseling and local mental health referrals. The lifeline supports people who call for themselves or someone they care about.

“One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold; One deed of kindness noticed is worth 40 that are told. Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear, For right living speaks a language which to every one is clear. Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say, I’d rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day…

COT: Spring time is upon us. A lot of us will be working in and planting in our yards. Naturalist Doug Duren has a saying about the land we own and live in: “It’s not ours, it’s our turn.” We are stewards of our own little piece of the environment even in the suburbs. So try including native plants into your yards this year. The wildlife that lives around us needs a home too.

Today’s circle of trust was inspired by Red Baron, 63 year old father of one of the Pax at Olympus. He lead us through this workout after his son had done the first half and killed us. I was inspired to hope that I could be like him at that age. But I also know that age is a battle that we will all gradually lose. I was reminded of a quote from the Battle of Maldon, an elegy of loss by the Anglo Saxons who defended their homeland against the Vikings in 997. The line is “Will shall be the sterner, heart the bolder, spirit the greater as our strength lessens.” This workout was about maintaining strength over time. But the broader lesson today is we are all fighting a battle we will lose against age. As it says in the bible in 2 Cor 4:16, So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. Encouragement today is for us as brothers to also encourage our growth in Spirit and trust in God to renew our inner strength so that we finish well.
