Indian Run to CMU Pile. Rifle carry a CMU to the base of Sophomore hill. Where we found 2 braided climbing ropes. Crazy lucky that it was there, rain soaked and heavy.
2 HIMs on opposite sides of the rope tried to carry the rope to the top of hill without the middle touching the ground. If they made it the rest had to do 5 Burpees. If it hit the ground, next 2 guys tried. By the 3rd or 4th round we got the hang of it and some burpees were done. The “spectators” were doing CMU Curls, Triceps, Thrusters and other heavy work outs while we watched and hoped for a big wipe out.
A few rounds of muddy tug-o-war at the top. Resulted in all of us running down the hill. Uneven teams resulted in some fast muddy slides. We ended with Rope hold against each other at the bottom while more CMU work was done. Rinsed off with some flutter kicks in a puddle then mosey’d back.
MARY:
Guardrail dips, incline merkins, then some box cutters, flutter kicks, imperial walkers and other core till the rushers arrived and time was called.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 (4 were Rushing) HIMs took on the rain
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thanks for the prayer covering for my family while we were on our missions encounter in Tajuana, Mexico. The Lord taught me there that to give, you must have something to give. He loves to fill us up so that we can be poured out. That is why we are given things, joy, hope, and love. Give it out freely. Acts 20 reminds us what Jesus said: It is more blessed to give than receive.
Out here, that means get better, encouraged and stronger and then give back by filling up a Q calendar. At church that means watching online isn’t enough. Give of your time… maybe in a much needed volunteer role, but maybe what the Lord has for you is to connect with a friend or a stranger before or after a service. You are not filled up to feel better but to give back. Receive so that you can serve.
And lastly, be real. In Mexico addressing the heartache and sadness was necessary. Here it’s easier to find a silver lining or hide behind work or busyness. God can handle our sadness. Bring it to Him and you’ll have more joy than I can explain.
