We moved fast, and covered a lot of ground today. We were seeking Halloween Decorations with two specific stops in mind. We were 4 minutes late as a result, and did the COT on the fly during the last half mile.

COT Topic was about my daughter and critical thinking, as she was uncomfortable with a question in school. The paraphrase was something like why do we teach children religion, and the answer was that they are impressionable. She said that made her uncomfortable and we were able to have a great conversation about discernment, wisdom, truth, and religion.

Also 3 runners, Toretto, Mailbox, & Anchorman. 2 Dogs joined the ruckers, and I am sorry for the blurry pic.

See You on The Dark Side of The Moon

COT:
Remember to Rest!
– your body
– your mind
– your soul

It’s getting busier and busier this time of year. How good can you be for yourself and others if you don’t take care of yourself wholly- and Holy.

Physically you have to balance. Work hard, be strong- but recover! Listen to your body.

Mentally you have to turn it off. Reflect. Rejoice! Appreciate the ups and even the downs. You did something! You learned. Did you get better? Are you fulfilled? Are you focused? Refocused?

Spiritually you have to rest. Pray, meditate. Appreciate what The Lord provides and what his path for you promises. Your trust in Him should simplify things, and help you focus on the important stuff.

Good to be back

WARMUP: one squat

THE THANG:

Four different stations after you partner up.
First patient one partner does an exercise while the other partner runs to the next station and runs back and switches with the other partner.
Do this three times and then go to the second station and run from the second station to the third station and so on and so forth

This is a classic ribbed workout, not much needs to be said. Except for the fact that because I did not have any instructions, it was like a bunch of wild horses, figuring out what to do and people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

MARY: stretching with ribbed

ANNOUNCEMENTS: don’t @channel the channel

He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[b]
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[c]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely[d] goodness and mercy[e] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[f] in the house of the Lord
forever.[g]
