CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“When we love something it is of value to us, and when something is of value to us we spend time with it, time enjoying it and time taking care of it.” M. Scott Peck

How often do we find ourselves ignoring opputunity to invest in our children, significant others, or people in general because we are distracted or entralled by something else (i.e. social media, cell phone, etc.) We do well to reduce these distractions and to engage with our children and others by learning about them and relating to them. In some ways this goes against our nature which we have to learn how to defy in order to have the best quality in our relationships.

MOLESKIN:

We prayed for our ability to cope with holiday stress, career decisions, and the Mend House.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Manilow will be on Q Thursday. Other Q’s are still available in December.

Pearl Harbor Remembrance Workout

THE SCENE: Clear & Cool @ 39 degrees in Powell TN at the local High School
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

Was Done.

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, LBAC, Merkins, Cherry Pickers, Wind Mills, Stretching, Run a Lap .
THA-THANG:
Two teams of 3 were arranged, the yellow team & the orange. The orange team seemed to have more due diligence about themselves & prior knowledge about the subject matter than the yellow team. A question was read about Pearl Harbor by the Q while each team sent a HIM around the parking lot to grab a disc of their assigned color. The teams HIM who returned to the Q first with a disc in hand got to answer first. The team that lost had to draw a Royalty Card from the F3 Deck of Workout Card and perform 25 reps of said exercise while the other team drew a number card and performed the exercise 10 Reps. If neither team got the  correct answer an ACE was drawn and the PAX performed the exercise 100 Reps. This happened twice. The Orange team won most challenges & the Yellow team had to perform most of the Royalty Card exercises but the Orange Team demonstrated some grace by trading cards a couple of times. Some extra Burpees were performed because the Yellow Team tried to use a number card when they were supposed to use a royalty card.

MARY:

N/A abdominal exercises were interspersed in the workout itself.

A few quotes:  “I always thought it was me against the world and then one day I realized it was just me against me,” Every next level of your life will demand a different you,” Everyone wants a powerful woman until you start dating her and realize you have to step your shit up.”  Basically, know that it is you against you until you devote yourself to those relationships, especially one with God.  As we did today, “partner Up,” because you’re never really alone.

Pray for Biohazard’s old mentor Connie who is now in hospice.
