Every month the men of Seismic gather to run the Hero, the AO’s monthly endurance test, in honor of a hero to one of the PAX. This month, we choose to honor Jesus. Most people don’t like to take the blame when they are wrong. Jesus took the blame for everyone, and he had never done anything wrong. He made a sacrifice for us. Make a sacrifice for someone else.

Mary: we barely had time for a 1 exercise.
Moleskin: YHC tried this weinke about a year ago. There was some tweaks to improve. There’s still work to be done. This weinke will work!
Devo: Yesterday, a large group/mob of Donald Trump stormed and raided the U.S. Capitol. There’s a lot to unpack in our nation. We all have different religious, political, etc. views. Bi-partisanship has done a lot to dictate the thoughts and actions of American citizens. Without calling any one side out I shared 2 Instagam posts from the andcampaign who looks at politics from a Biblical perspective, and left it at that.

Devo: At times, a man can reject Christ believing he is too sinful or too far gone to save. The Christmas story reminds us that Christ was born on earth in a stable and placed in a manger for a bed. A stable, where animals lived and a manger where they ate. Both disgusting places to live and sleep. We’re reminded that Christ lowered Himself, in humility, to be our savior. He has already brought Himself to our lowly state to provide us with salvation. No one is too sinful or too far gone to be saved by the grace He offers.
Moleskin: Good mumble chatter among the Pax today. We were reminded that we do curls for Milton’s wife and tempo curls for YHC’s wife. Also, we confirmed Milton’s wife digs legs. A good time was had by all.

Devo: From Ephesians 2:11-14 – In all of the nastiness, polarization, and division we will likely witness today, recognize that in Christ he has made us one. Through his death and breaks down the walls that divide us and make us one in Him.
Moleskin: YHC remembers fondly an election-themed workout that Floppy did four years ago. Today’s was not as good as that, but it was still fun and got a few laughs and comments from the PAX. Credit to my M for helping me with my weinke last night as today’s workout was developed. Scary moment today when Milton heard his calf muscle pop. Check in on him if you get a chance and make sure he’s ok. Finally, Space Cowboy headed out early to do his civic duty and vote. He and Pretzel also win the day for wearing shorts and t-shirs… Pretzel had the cut-off t-shirt. They are real men.

DEVO: “Benaiah son of Jehoiada, a valiant fighter from Kabzeel, performed great exploits. He struck down Moab’s two mightiest warriors. He also went down into a pit on a snowy day and killed a lion.” 2 Samuel 23:20
YHC encouraged the men to trust God when being called to a hard task. Take on the lion like a mighty warrior and trust God in the outcome.
