Modified Millennium

Backblast: 8/4/21, 5:30 AM, AO Tar Pit

Great day for a beatdown.

WOR: motivators, tappy taps, arm circles, Michael Phelps, copperhead merkins, copperhead squats

Thang: modified millenium

We didn’t have time to get in the full 1000 reps. 750 was all that we had time for.

After the WOR we lugged our coupons to the front of the school. Counted off into two teams of five. First man to complete the 100 reps of the given exercise called out their team number. Everyone stops and runs down the driveway and then back up one of the staircases.

Winners must complete five burpees before starting subsequent exercises. Five burpee penalty is cumulative: two wins = 10 burpees before starting on the next set of 100 reps.

Exercises: derkins, thrusters, seal claps, box jumps, Nolan Ryans, dips, bbsu, burpees (50).

NOR: Bloomer, DaVinci, Shiplap, Katniss, 8-track, Aloha, Milk Duds (respect), Drum Line, Minnie, Tortuga (Q)

COT: Prayers for new HIM – Wheaton soccer coach going through hard time, healing for various injured PAX, Noodles and his M, DaVinci’s book.

Moleskin: Where do you find your value? A song we sang in church this Sunday gave me this question. The lyrics are copied below. It was a good reminder that my worth does not come from me. My value should not be based on things of this world: my job my success, my relationships, or even good things, like my family, my fatherhood, my friendships, or my speed. All these things can and will fail. If my value is in Christ, it will be unshakable. “Neither height nor depth, neither angels nor demons, or anything else in all creation will be able to seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our lord.” Where do you find your value?

My Worth is not in What I Own

My worth is not in what I own
Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love
At the cross

My worth is not in skill or name
In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed
At the cross

I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied in Him alone

As summer flowers we fade and die
Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us
At the cross

I will not boast in wealth or might
Or human wisdom’s fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ
At the cross

I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied in Him alone

Two wonders here that I confess
My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed, my ransom paid
At the cross

I rejoice in my Redeemer
Greatest Treasure
Wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other
My soul is satisfied in Him alone
