Devo: Mark Batterson’s “Play the Man” Bible App

Be a Man in Your Relationship with God

There is a clear difference between men and children. Children avoid pain. Men understand pain is often necessary for growth. Children look to blame others. Men take responsibility for their actions. Children look out for themselves. Men look out for their families and friends. Choose to be a man today.

Practical Steps

  1. Today, do one act that shows you choose to put others before yourself – whether that means giving your wife a back rub after you’ve had a long day, going out of your way to help a friend, or even just lending an ear to someone when it may feel inconvenient to do so.

Moleskin:  “That was stupid” Milton’s comment on trying to bear crawl the entire short side of the AO, only to stop halfway then crabwalk as a substitute. It’s much farther than it looks…

Devo: John 3:30 – He shall become greater and I shall become less. There’s a brand from Hawaii I love HE>i. It stands for He is greater than I. While confusing to look at initially, it’s a great way to remember to put the Lord first and make Him of utmost importance rather than selfishly placing myself first.

Moleskin:   PSA, practice safe weapons handling discipline. Always treat a weapon as if it’s loaded, never muzzle flash or point as someone you don’t intend to shoot, practice good trigger discipline, and only place your finger on the trigger when ready to shoot. Familiarize yourself with weapons under safe conditions.

Devo: 

Many churches are moving to online because of the virus. Remember, church isn’t a one time a week event, it’s a gathering of believers for worship. However, you do it, just do it.

Also, if everyone in your house is stuck inside, take a chance to spend some time with them. How often do you get to have lunch  together? This is your chance to take time and make memories.

 

Moleskin:

With Covid-19 upon us we did our best with social distancing, no sharing coupons, and not doing partner work. Well those were all of the things YHC planned on doing. If we can’t come up with other workout ideas, then the virus wins. Luckily, it’s St. Patty’s Day and YHC loves a themed weinke. Today was a chance for the Pax to choose their own destiny when hunting down the leprechauns. Sometimes, they’d get away, and other times they’d fight back. A hefty amount of cardio, and how ‘bout them monkey humpers?

Devo:

Lord, Lord

“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?” (NLT) ( Luke 6:46 )

 

Do you ever get a feeling that God is telling you to do something?  That is called conviction.  Sometimes, we are convicted to do things that are difficult and all we want to do is run away.  But when we run away, we compromise with God.  We want the benefits of a relationship but when He asks us to obey Him, we are not willing to do the hard work.  What area of your life is God convicting you to honor Him with?

Moleskin:   This was very similar to what I ran at Bedrock on Tuesday.  The loop was smaller so more exercises were done.  The team of 4 found a grocery store buggy and utilized it on a few of their runs.  They were kind enough to offer it to YHC’s team but we declined.  Ain’t nobody got time to be falling out of no buggy.  Always fun at the TOTS.  Thanks for allowing me to lead.

On a serious note.  Cannoli is running for Dorchester County  School board.  DD2.  He is in need of signatures just to get his name on the ballet.  Even if you don’t want to vote for him and you live in Dorchester County reach out to him to get your name on his signature list.  However,  I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want to vote for him.  He is a great dude and has the best interest of our youth in mind.

Devo:  Habbakuk 3:17-19. YHC provided an high level overview and the theme of the book of Habakkuk, and encouraged the PAX to trust that even in the darkest of times, God is sovereign and is working out His plan. We may not see it for what it is, but we trust Him with patience, and rejoice in the process.

Moleskin:  It had been a long time since YHC was at a BC with our good friend Floppy. When his HC’d, it was clear some degree of creativity was in order as Floppy is historically one of our most creative Qs. This is not YHC’s strong suit, but the PAX seemed pleased with the work put in today. The tires of Seismic have been a frequently used tool over the last two weeks and they were instrumental again today. Peg is a beast on tire flips.
