Reflection: Ephesians 6:13
"13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that WHEN the day of evil comes, YOU may be able to stand your ground, and after YOU have done everything, and REMAIN STANDING." (my emphasis)
– WHEN the day of evil comes, not IF…there are evil schemes and strategies at work right now…the Deceiver is prowling, just looking for ways to hurt your family, to twist words, and to distract you from God's plan for you and your family. WHEN, not IF.
– Emphasized the YOU because YOU have a role in resisting temptation, YOU have a role in protecting your family, God is calling YOU to put on His armor. Are YOU doing what YOU are called to do?
– REMAIN STANDING is emphasized because after you do everything, REMAIN STANDING. Don't give up. Just like most of the workouts we do, it seems like you are going to run out of energy and not finish. No! REMAIN STANDING for your wife. REMAIN STANDING for your children. REMAIN STANDING for your co-workers and neighbors.
– Put on the armor of God, stand your ground, remain standing.

– T-claps to Hefty this morning. He was talking with the surgeon yesterday about his ankle. And today, he was working out and pushing up the hill. Hang in there Bro. This is merely a speed bump. Take the opportunity to learn, to ponder, and to plan your return.
– T-claps to Tipper for such a warm greeting this morning. Truly, he's one of the most kind guys I know. #Loveyabro
– Shirley's pants were fantastic. It was my goal to make him regret wearing pants…heh, heh #itsthelittlethings
– T-claps to Dandelion for figuring out that we DID in fact need Metro's block to finish that last set.
Such an honor to lead you guys along my crazy workout plan. You guys are the best.
