“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
-John 1:29

Look for Christ and you will find Him. And with Him, everything else.

Social Media tip of the day: Self-Love vs. Narcissism
SELF LOVE: Being content with the work in progress that you are. Being yourself. Not seeking the approval of others. Not doing things that make you appear to be seeking the attention of everyone. Seeking to be the best person that you can be. Not comparing yourself to others. Not being fake. Not thinking that you are better than anyone else.
NARCISSISM: None of the above.
The only crime is pride.-Sophocles / Have the wisdom to show restraint. -Proverbs 23:4

DIG DEEP! Results or Excuses. Pick one. You can’t have both.

Fun Christmas Fact: Saint Nick was more generous than jolly. You probably already knew that the idea of Santa Claus came from St. Nicholas. The saint wasn’t a bearded man who wore a red suit; that tradition came much later. In the fourth century, the Christian bishop gave away his large inheritance to the poor and rescued women from servitude. In Dutch, his name is Sinter Klaas, which later morphed into Santa Claus in English.

Join us on Christmas Eve – All of you are invited to join us on Friday 12-24 for a Christmas Eve service at Chestnut Ridge East Campus at 10:00pm. If you let us know that you are coming we will save you a seat with us. We would love to have a couple rows full of the CrossFit864 crew. Wear your favorite 864 swag or Christmas swag…it doesn’t matter. The service will be fairly short. Bring your friends and family. Hope to see you there.

Help! Need a last minute Christmas Eve gift? Grab a 864 hoodie, shirt, cap, 6 pack 0f Fit Aid or a gift certificate for your favorite CrossFitter.

On this day in history – December 24, 1948 – The first completely solar-heated house became occupied in Dover, MA.

Definition of Challenge: Demanding, testing one’s determination, willpower, abilities, skills and resources. A call to fight, as a battle.

Entitlement is a delusion built on self-centeredness and laziness. Nobody ever said that life was fair. Deal with it! Don’t compare your life to other peoples life. Live your own. Keep Calm and Mind Your Own Business…

We always look forward to our week of Christmas workouts. We have been doing these since the early days of 864 and we are glad that you guys enjoy making this part of your Christmas traditions and Christmas fun. Merry Christmas!

BE STRONG and COURAGEOUS!
