Q by Committee – Equalizer Style

THE SCENE: Dark. Then light for a minute. Then dark again… It’s possible there’s something wrong with our streetlight.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER – Choir Boy said he was not a professional at leading a workout, but he sure did nail the legalese in the disclaimer. I’m sure he logged some billable hours we’ll get to chip in for later.
WARM-O-RAMA:
Choir Boy led.

  • SSH IC x50 (Good thing he didn’t know it was day number 187…)
  • Abe Vigodas IC
  • Baby Arm Circles IC
  • Probably some other stuff

THA-THANG:
Stripped hosted a round of 7s featuring lunges at Top of the World followed by pull-ups at the playground. Everyone loved it and remarked that it was their favorite part of the day.

Snitch then hosted a round of 7s so great it would make a middle school girls’ soccer team proud: BBS/LBCs at the bottom of the bermuda triangle, bernie up, burpees at the top, bear crawl down & mosey across. There was rinsing & repeating.

Next, he took us to the flag circle for step ups & dips.

MARY:
Made it back to the AO in time for a brief plank.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
11 PAX. Great to have Jagged Pill back & a Proton visit is always welcome. Great work.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Mouthwash shared a bit on 1 Corinthians 13, specifically verse 4: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” What a great way to check yourself on living & leading in love. “Am I being patient? Am I boasting?” Great reminder, especially as many of us have opportunities to correct our 2.0s.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I talked about my struggle to pray when times are good, and my desire to pray when times are tough.  I recently dropped my daughter off at a camp in Palo Alto CA.  She is 15, and we were both struggling at the prospect of her being on her own.  I finally left her, and I was a wreck emotionally.  I took a long walk around the Stanford Campus to clear my head and spent a lot of time in prayer.

My daughter met some people and did great, and I hailed an UBER back to San Francisco.  I encountered the best driver I have ever had.  He had over 28,000 trips and maintained a 4.99 star rating out of 5.  Nasim was a Jordanian immigrant.  He retired from the grocery business, and drives UBER for fun.  He loves people, and was raised as a Christian in Jordan, before immigrating to the US.  We had a delightful conversation, and he was an answer to prayers, and maybe even an angel.  Nasim and I swapped numbers and he texted me the next day (Father’s Day) to see how I was doing.

We need God all of the time, not just when things are rough, the challenge this week is to remember that and spend some time in prayer.  God is real, He is there just waiting for you to have a relationship with Him.

MOLESKIN:
I think we all realized that we need choirboy as our lawyer. He definitely knows how to argue and fight for what he wants!! Ha! Although in the end Judge Tank denied several of his objections and International rules were in effect.  We also realized that several of us including me have no skills in volleyball.
