Look I fartsacked on Saturday and missed an epic sledding Q, and my weekend only got lazier from there. I didn’t even bother to check the mail. The goal of today’s Q was to get as much work in as we could without overdoing it.

Secondary goal was to give F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) the gift of early completion for the day, and we would have succeeded wildly if not for the fact that F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) was, for all we know, in bed, or doing burpees alone while listening to James Clear podcasts.

My intent was to lightly warm shoulders, not blast them this time, but when I start yapping I lose track of time, so you’re welcome. We warmed up, we guaranteed 10 years of life for all in attendance (you’re welcome again), we moseyed, we hit Cardiac pretty hard, we did 106 burpees.

There was some invented controversy, entirely predictable, as to the timing of the end of the Q. To that I will only say Gibbler that the Q may not always be right, but he’s never wrong.

I flubbed my BOM. Lack of oxygen to the brain.

COT:
At church we were encouraged to do a Personal Growth Plan and choose a word for the year. My church chose Power. It’s tied to Acts 1:8.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”” Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Live in POWER in 2025
P – Prayer
O – Obedient
W – Worship
E – Evangelism
R – Rest

Our declaration is, “I declare I have received God’s power and it defines who I am.”

Let me know if you want me to send you the growth plan.

I chose Presence: the state or fact of existing, occurring, or being present in a place or thing.

I encourage you to choose a word. Pray over it, Google Bible verses tied to the word, etc. I’ve found several verses and I’m trying to nail down the one I want to go with.

Let us know what word you choose:
Possible words:
Warrior
Champion
Love
Perceiver
Empowered
Happy
Elevate
Breakthrough
Prepared
Presence
