864 Strength + Conditioning – Christmas Week 2022

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
-Isaiah 9:6-7

“When Christ was born so was our hope.”
-Max Lucado

Clark: Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere, leave you for dead?
Eddie: Naw, I’m doing just fine, Clark.
-Clark Griswold (Christmas Vacation)

The very purpose of Christ’s coming into the world was that He might offer up His life as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He came to die. This is the heart of Christmas.
–Billy Graham

Cheaters are Losers. If you cheat one rep, one round, one pound or one second you are a cheater!
I would prefer even to fail with honor than win by cheating.
