Thang: Tour the AO

Made a full lap around the AO, stopping at points to do exercises.

Stop 1: First Bridge Cross the 1st bridge west of the parking lot on your hands.

Stop 2: Ring of Fire The nine Pax gathered in a circle, and as a group, we did 80 merkins.

Stop 3: Monkey Bars Yes, we went on monkey bars. All a part of the tour.

Stop 4: Sprints Two sprints down Darling St.

Stop 5: Dan Taylor Alley We did Dan Taylors to 7/28.

Stop 6: 2nd Bridge Crossed the (longer) bridge, and some of us managed to do the whole length on their hands. Some.

Stop 7: Mini Dora At Pool House parking lot. Pax partnered up, one does reps and the other runs across the parking lot and back. Initially planned to go to 200 BBSU’s, but cut short for time.

Stop 8: Hoffa Manrise to the top, one round of Guantanamo.

Moleskin:

Only a part was shared at the workout, but the full moleskin is below.

On Saturday, my M and I went to a church leadership conference. One of the talks was on what keeps you from being a great leader.

The pastor said: 1) if you’re a good leader, great 2) if you’re bad leader, well that’s obviously a problem 3) but what’s really bad is if you’re a complicated leader. Because then you’re taking an already hard job and making it more difficult on everyone.

Here’s the 7 ways that we all can be a complicated leader.

1) You don’t love God and you don’t love people.
2) You not full of the Holy Spirit.
3) You’re not humble.
4) You’re not committed. You’re always a "maybe."
5) You always give the minimum amount of effort.
6) You don’t mind your own business.
7) You don’t speak up when things are wrong.

Identify one way you’re a complicated Leader and commit to tackling that area.

CoT:

• Pray for @Sampler’s younger brother who is having a hard time in his 1st year of college. • pray for @Ankles & M for the busy/hard two weeks ahead
