COT
Shared a word about being present and living in the moment. While doing some homework with my six year old, we had to find something outside/in the woods to use our 5 senses (see, smell, etc.) She found a rose bush and decided to use that one for smell. At the end of the assignment, it asked her to say a 2-3 sentence prayer and she ended with “Thank you God for letting daddy smell the roses with me”. Really got me thinking about the old cliche to stop and smell the roses. No matter how fast and stressful life is, it really pays to slow down sometimes and really be present and alive in the current moment. Left PAX with one final thought to challenge themselves to be present and slow down in as many situations as possible each day whether it be with spouses, kids, co-workers, etc. This allows us to listen, show compassion, and be the man that God created us to be.
Prayed specifically for El Chapo’s brother, Vera Hope, and all of those affected by this hurricane season, specifically this week with Hurricane Sally.
Moleskin
When I planned the workout, forecast showed downpours, not as much rain as I thought it would be but we still got a nice damp ground for exercises on our six. Also, Sally is not fun regardless, but definitely not fun after IP week 3 which included 300 push-ups.
