Romans 7:15 & 23-24: 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. 23 But there is another power within me that is at war with my mind. This power makes me a slave to the sin that is still within me. 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death?
“Monsters” by Shinedown
-Hold Al Gore through Intro. (0:00 – 0:16)
-Down Merkin on “Good for you” – Up on “You fooled…” (0:17- 0:40)
Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you’re somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
-Hold Al Gore for Pre-Chorus 1 (0:41 – 0:54)
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don’t get angry, don’t discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
-Burpee on each line of Chorus (x9 Burpees) (0:55 – 1:22)
‘Cause my monsters are real
And they’re trained how to kill
And there’s no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they’ll never say “die”
And there’s no going back
If I get trapped, I’ll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real
-Down Merkin on “Good for you” – Up on “You hurt…” (1:23- 1:54)
Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one
-Hold Al Gore for Pre-Chorus 2 (1:55 – 2:05)
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is fair
-Burpee on each line of Chorus (x9 Burpees) (2:06 – 2:37)
‘Cause my monsters are real
And they’re trained how to kill
And there’s no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they’ll never say “die”
And there’s no going back
If I get trapped, I’ll never heal
‘Cause my monsters are real
-Hold High Plank for Guitar Solo & Pre-Chorus 3 (2:38 – 3:23)
Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don’t get angry, don’t discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage
Leave a light on if you’re able
‘Cause we both know you’re unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a god you think is there
-Burpee on each line of Chorus (x9 Burpees) (3:24 – 3:51)
‘Cause my monsters are real
And they’re trained how to kill
And there’s no coming back
And they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly
And they’ll never say “die”
And there’s no going back
If I get trapped, I’ll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real

Prayers for family member of Lorax who’s only 31 and recently had a stroke. Prayers for prosecuted Christians all around the world, including here in America. Prayers that we can be HIM that have courage to stand for truth and for our faith, in a world becoming increasingly hostile to the truth. May we be men willing to let go of our Jester, and help other men break free of their Jester. Give us the mindset to find our identity in Christ, and not in our Jester. Remember Christ paid a high price, and gave us the way to nail our Jester to his cross.
Thanks for following my lead, men!
