THANG  YHC brought a version of an Indian Run to a BC.  5 cones with exercises written on them were placed around the church for each stopping point. Pax 1 started at station 1  and a new pax left to begin after 1 min 30 sec.  This continued until all pac had left the flag. Once all were around the building no timer was needed. After all pax had completed first round, exercises at each station were changed as the Q was last to leave flag. We completed 2 rounds with no time for Mary.

MARY 

Got plenty during the thang.

Wthe recent passing of QICs uncle. He was intubated due to Covid for 5 weeks. Pax were encouraged to reach out to loved ones not seen or spoken to in some time to let them know they are loved and to let themselves remember that they do love them. The old cliche has rung true these last couple of days – we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

Devo: “Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything.  With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.  Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand.  And this peace will control the way you think and feel.”  Philippians 4:6-7

Some times the giving to God is the easiest, what is the hard part is the patience to understand all is at his speed not ours.  Continue to pray and find the calm and peace needed in the wait.

Devo:

When you feel the little twinge of “I should not be saying this” and you look at your wife and the temperature has dropped 20° and the wind is now coming from the north you know you’ve hit a rough spot. Usually ignored u keep talking but learning that hitting a Rough spot requires an immediate apology not snow plowing forward such as “can’t you take a joke” or “just get over it” does not cut it. Here are three huge raw spots of female gender.

Criticism –

No one likes to criticize but women since they are so relational and intuitive have keen sense of criticism. They can feel it even when it’s not spoken or mean spirited.

Appearance

– So many dads and granddads create raw spots in little girls with comments about their weight or body shape. Words like chubby skinny or heavy can haunt women all their life.

Value

• our capitalistic culture assigns value to people who become rich famous or both. Most important voice wife hears is the voice her husband. It’s critical that he value her and what she does for him and the family

If you think about it you already know what you do or say bothers your wife. Write them down. Talk to her let her confirm deny or correct what you do or say that hits a rough spot. Then ask God to give you wisdom and self-control to avoid.

The Thang:

We went around a square. Each corner of the building was placed a Die and Weinke with six exercises on it.  The Die only gave you the exercise to perform.  Pax numbered 1-4 and went to corresponding corner to the number they called.  Pax rolled die to choose exercise. The first round of each corner was to perform 15 reps of either IC or OQ, Pax choice. Most were IC. Pax went around building and added 5 reps each time they passed their starting corner.  Corners were either arms, legs, abs, or cardio. Pax continued to travel around building until time was called.

We have all come upon someone who needed help.  Many reasons we do not stop.  “Don’t have time.  I am afraid.  I can’t help.” The list goes on.

Jesus was not like this.  He knew exactly how much time he had left.  Yet he stopped. I know I cannot stop for everyone.  I wish to be more like Jesus. I know I cannot be exactly like him, but I want to stop for everyone I can.  My question to you men would you stop?  Would you help? Would you be there for some else regardless of your perception of what you “have” to do, how much time you have, or who they may be?
