Warmup (Preschool & Kindergarten)

-Hold low plank…

Matthew 5:16: In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Philippians 4:6: Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

-And since Caterpillar said he was hoping I’d switch up the way I start the warm-ups this time, I made us hold the plank for a little while longer!

COT (Graduation)

-Today is graduation day for Hempfield.  Knuckle-Puck is graduating tonight.  Prayers for all graduates.

-Prayers for injured PAX, such as Rapunzel, and all of us experiencing aches and pains.

-The Baccalaureate Service for the Hempfield Senior’s was this past Sunday.  DoubleMint lead a great benediction prayer.  There was one overarching theme of the service which I wanted to echo this morning.  In everything we do, we should not be trying to make a name for ourselves, or relying on our own strength or knowledge.  We should be pointing all of our thoughts, deeds, and accomplishments to the Lord and making his name known.  It’s by His grace that we can come together in the gloom, it’s by His grace that we can workout in His creation, and it’s by His grace that we can work our bodies and minds to be better men for Him.  May we be men who don’t worry, men who fight our battles by humbly bowing in prayer, men who extend gratitude, and men whose deeds shine a light pointing to Christ.

Thanks for following my lead from preschool all the way through to graduation!  Thanks for making the trek over the river this morning Meatsweats!  Great to have you join us in the gloom! Hope we proved that we do actually do a WO at 4:30 in the morning, and not just post a picture!
