      • Bring 4 CMUs over to rocks marked with signs.  Those signs have your exercises on them to do in place and across the parking lot straight across to the opposing parking stall.  Do
        • 25 Curls X4—>Dead Bunny
        • 25 LBC X4—->Crab Walk
        • 25 Lunges X4—>Lunge

      • For example in the first parking stall, do 25 burls with one block, then dead bunny drag it across the parking lot. Go back to your three cmus, do another set of 25 curls, then dead bunny drag that cmu across. Then go back to your two cmus, do another set of 25 curls, then dead bunny drag that one across.
      • So you care carrying and moving your 4 cmus through all the above stationary and traveling exercises.  Once you finish one “Lane” of the parking lot then progress (move) your four CMUs to the next Lane (lane = two parking stalls that appose each other).  The rocks & signs form a zig-zag over the square parkinglot.

      • Each exercise is 1 count.   If there is a 2x by the exercise (or carry) then do the exercise with 2 CMUS at a time.  If there is a 4x by the exercise then do the exercise with one cmu but do it four times.
  • Warm Down – worked out till the end.
  • Word
    • Guess how many parts are in an average car?  ~30,000 parts
    • I just spent 2k cost to fix my truck – and that was only a few pieces. It’s expensive.
    • Guess who is the Richest man alive? Answer: Jeff Bezos at 177 billion
    • Guess which is the richest country in the world? The US at 20 trillion GDP.
    • What can neither Jeff Bezos nor the US BUY?? You!Your body is more expensive and has more parts than any car or machinery out there.

      No country can buy you or replace you. Jeff bezos or the us cant.

      No machine or animal can do what many of did last saturday at Hardship hill.

      And yet you have no plastic and no metal in you.

      You are amazing.. and extremely complicated. Let peter and Jesus explain it.

      “Peter said, “I don’t get it. Put it in plain language.” Jesus replied, “You, too? Are you being willfully stupid? Don’t you know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the intestines and is finally defecated? But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart. It’s from the heart that we vomit up evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and cussing. That’s what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods, washing or not washing your hands—that’s neither here nor there.””
      ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭15:15-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬
      https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.15.15-20.MSG

      Where is your heart focus? Fast to find out. The fasting is a tool to stir the heart to find out whats in there. Is your heart feeling dull? Are you out of touch with your heart? Try a fast and you will see what bubbles up and out and what is in your heart.

      But your heart is not the end of the conversation (and complication) is it?

      “Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts. Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip..”
      ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23-27‬ ‭MSG‬‬
      https://bible.com/bible/97/pro.4.23-27.MSG

      “A wise heart takes orders; an empty head will come unglued.”
      ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭10:8‬ ‭MSG‬‬
      https://bible.com/bible/97/pro.10.8.MSG

      ““The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be.””
      ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17:9-10‬ ‭MSG‬‬
      https://bible.com/bible/97/jer.17.9-10.MSG

      The mind leads the heart.
      The heart might say i want to stay in bed .. but the mind knows the goodness that comes from a good F3 workout and devotion and says ‘ yes we are getting up and going”

      And theres more than just the gut and heart and mind.  The Holy Spirit can inform, question and commentate on the other sysytems (Gut, Heart & Mind).
      “Hey go apologize, that wasn’t very nice.”
      Or
      “Hey go say hi to that person over there”
      Or
      “ Hey go help that guy”

      We are complicated by design but we are not without help. Praise the Lord that we are PRICELESS creations of God, irreplaceable,  wonderfully made, and complicated.  We are virtual symphonies of complicated interacting symphonies of physical and spiritual systems intertwined in infinite ways. You are more complex and far better than any plastic or metal machine or animal.  No animal or machine can go through the sand, climb over an inverted 15 foot ladder, swim in the water, climb through a mud pit and do it for 6 hours… AND MAKE IT FUN!!  But it’s even better.  We are not just amazing priceless, irreplaceable physical creatures – we are also spiritual saints endowed with the Holy Creator Spirit who guides protects and gives.   Truly amazing.  Don’t let any Doctor or Engineer or PHD person tell you otherwise.

It will do your heart, spirit and soul good.
