HooverBall 2.0.

Continuous cooperative rallies over a volleyball net, using regulation 6lb medicine/HooverBalls. Sometimes 1; Sometimes 2 simultaneous HooverBalls were used, depending on # of PAX participating at the time. PAX responsible for rally ending either ran up Hoffa or (later on) had a choice of doing merkins or squats before being able to rejoin the HooverBall rally.

Moleskine:

Your emotional & spiritual well being will improve if you can resist the temptation to procrastinate unpleasant tasks. A helpful technique is to trick your brain into viewing “doing it now” as a derivative type of “instant gratification.” How? By thinking of it as doing “your future self,” a favor NOW.

COT:

Moment of quiet contemplation, followed by the Serenity Prayer.

The Thang: 10 v 9, then two fields: 5v5 and 4v5

Moleskine: on a scale of one to ten, how confident are you that you would go to heaven if you died in this parking lot this morning? One being a surely not, ten being without a doubt.

Think about it.

If your number is one through nine, you think it has something to do with you. You think you can earn or lose your salvation. You can’t.
Ephesians 2:8+9 says “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Friends, if you have placed your faith in Jesus, you are a TEN! Trust the promises of God.

Moleskine:
Been reading Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism. It’s not interested in feeding that intrigue with cults so much as examining how language is used to create community, sometimes a cult.

What stood out to me early on was a Harvard Divinity School study that “named SoulCycle and CrosFit among the groups giving America’s youth a modern religious identity.” One person said “We need to feel connected to something, like we’re out on earth for a reason other than just dying. At SoulCycle, for forty-five minutes, I feel that.”

We all crave purpose and an identity. What is filling those needs for you?
