WARM-O-RAMA:
– 20 SSH (4-ct), in cadence
– 10 Windmills (4-ct), in cadence (We came close to starting over because PAX lost count, except for Jetlag, who bailed everyone out. Then the smart-alecks started exaggerating the count, shouting it out excessively loudly, which was actually kind of hilarious)
– 10 Steve Earles, (4-ct), in cadence
– 20 Grady Corns (4-ct), in Cadence
THA-THANG:

This was actually hilarious, as he was trying to go backwards, but really not going anywhere. TClaps for trying, though). Modified to forward lunges or Bernie up the hill instead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The Screwtape Letters were written by CS Lewis to his good friend, JRR Tolkien. The character Screwtape is a senior demon in hell who counsels his nephew, Wormwood, how to corrupt a human (called “The Patient” in the letters). Wormwood is rather incompetent, and wants to try all sorts of extravagant tricks on the Patient, but Wormwood counsels him to take a more nuanced approach, such as the one depicted in this letter. As he says to Wormwood in another letter, “… the safest road to hell is the gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts“. The take home message of the letter that Judge Judy posted in the 3rd F channel is that disagreements on things such as politics can distract us from our internal (i.e., religious) growth and development. So next time you feel your blood pressure rising after watching cable news, or see you that one post on Facebook that you are just dying to respond to, maybe try to take a deep breath, disconnect, and focus on something you can do to serve your community, your family, your God
MOLESKIN:
Prayers for several PAX going through difficult challenges, particularly with health issues to them or their families.
