COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

12 pax includes 1 FNG “Stretch”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God forgives. We should also.  I gave an example of a television show my wife and I were watching about how a woman was able to forgive another woman for some very evil things that she did to her. How many times have we needed forgiveness from God and he immediately forgives us if we trust and ask through him. How selfish can it be for us to not forgive someone who hurts us.
MOLESKIN:

Welcome FNG Stretch! Great work by the PAX this morning. I was definitely feeling tired this morning and honestly felt like sleeping in but I’m always glad I don’t.  The energy and fellowship kept me going.

THA-THANG:
Mosey to Assault Alley to pick up the CMUs

We survived that, so we moseyed to the flag pole with our CMUs

Tabata workout – 20 seconds of an exercise (as many reps as possible) followed by 10 seconds of rest.  Rinse and repeat for 8 rounds of each exercise.  After the last round of each exercise, run a lap around the track.  Wait for the six (didn’t take long) so that we are all together and start another 8 rounds of the next exercise.  We had time for these exercises:

Merkins

Curls

Rows

Overhead presses

We ran 4 laps, which should be about a mile.

We returned our CMUs to Assault Alley and survived again, so we moseyed back to the AO for Mary.

MARY:
We arrived at the AO right at 6:15, so no time for Mary, unfortunately.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 PAX strong today.  In addition to the 4 tagged, Stripped was also there to make 5, but his name did not show up in the tags.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have been doing tabata workouts lately because I hate them, so I’m doing them to get better and hopefully hate them less (that part is definitely not working).  They are also good mental lessons for life.  They force you to focus on the task immediately in front of you as it comes to you, one round at a time.  If you think about the whole circuit of 8 rounds, then it is daunting and you may not finish.  But, if you focus on each step at a time, then it gets easier, relatively speaking.  Such is life.  Focus on what is in front you.  See Matthew 6:34 (“Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”).
MOLESKIN:
Happy Veterans’ Day to all who have served and are serving.  Thank you all.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Nothing mentioned, probably because it was the Monday after Brolympics.  I was still sore from Saturday.  And now, I’m sore from today, too.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Positive reinforcement. Example of lax team  Playing as a team and playing much better with positive coaching.

“Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‭NIV‬‬
