THA-THANG:
Lotta legs today, men:

- Mosey to the football field for 7 of diamonds. Corners are 30 yards apart. 4 complete rounds, stopping at each corner to complete a set of exercises. Increase by 7 reps each round. Start with burpees (7 at each corner), then flutter kicks, 4 ct (14 at each corner), then Merkins (21 at each corner), then squats (28 at each corner).
- Offered the Pax an audible away from squats. Belding said no way. So, it’s Death by Squats. In circle formation, start with 10 jump squats, then 10 squats, then 9 jump squats and 10 squats, then 8 jump squats and 10 squats. So on and so forth down to 1 jump squat.
- Take a leg break: Mosey across the field. At each 10 yard line, do 20 BBS. 100 total.
- Back to the AO.

Ring of Fire, some Howling Monkeys and a few box cutters till Recovery.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
All you need is love — The Beatles. Sounds simple enough till we read what real love looks like from the Apostle Paul:
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8. Love is hard, but if we work to follow the Lord’s command, we will find that the Beatles are generally right. A difference between a HIM and a sad clown is the HIM wakes up every day intent on trying to practice love, even though we’ll fail at it in some way each day. Keep at it!
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Natty’s friend Hill and his recovery, for Natty’s 2.0 Audrey as she drives to the beach with a friend (and for Natty and the M for peace of mind), for the Belding and the Hardin Valley Academy community as Belding leads them through graduation, that it goes smoothly and is truly a time of celebration. Big praises for Tuba’s M for a permanent position as music director at their church and the opportunity to minister.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Belding might be available to mow yards, apparently, if the pay is right. He has the equipment.
