Sprints @ The Barracks

Barracks, Uncategorized, Weekday

THE SCENE:

The early morning rain cooled things off and stopped in plenty of time for us to do our workout in the dry. It was a little humid but there was nice breeze. Not a terrible morning to run.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

There are two kinds of people in the world – Owners and Critics. A critic looks out at the world and sees problems and complains about them, makes fun of them, or just ignores them. An owner looks out into the world and see problems and asks how he can be a part of solving those problems. An example would be seeing some trash lying around the track at the Barracks. A critic thinks “Man, what a dump, can’t U of M take care of their campus?” Or “These ROTC guys are such slobs.” Or just ignore it and step right over it. An owner on the other hand thinks “Man, I bet they don’t want their campus looking like this. I’m sure it’s hard work to constantly keep this place clean. I’ll pick it up for them.”

One of the greatest owners in modern history, Martin Luther King, Jr. shares in one of his sermons from the parable of the good Samaritan. He shares that the first two to pass by the man lying injured in the road – the priest and the levite – essentially ask “If I stop to help him, what will happen to me?” He then shares that the Samaritan walks up and asks a different question – “What will happen to HIM if I do NOT stop to help?”

We are called – as men and as Christ followers – to be owners in this world. BUT – we will ultimately fail at this unless we look to the Ultimate Owner – Jesus. Jesus saw all of our brokenness and instead of complaining about it, making fun of it, or ignoring it, he stepped in to take that brokenness upon himself that we might be free. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor so that you, by his poverty, might become rich.”

Let’s look to Jesus, the Ultimate Owner, and go out and be owners in this world…starting with picking up trash, and letting that lead to all areas of our lives.

MOLESKIN:

Those 30 second intervals felt like nothing. Not nearly enough time to catch your breath.
