THE THANG:
– We collected all of the rucks and sandbags that we had and moved to the football field end zone
– In the end zone we all came down with FMS (flutter merkin syndrome). This is a medical condition that causes a person to perpetually rotate between 10 merkins and 10 flutter kicks. The only antidote is located in the center of the field at the 50 yrd line. The problem is that you cannot move there yourself. You must be carried. It is a good thing that Mermaid wasn’t in the end zone and didn’t get sick. Once he received the antidote himself, he was able to return without fear of illness and (man) carry one of us to the antidote. Once healed we were also able to carry the afflicted and all of the gear to the antidote. Then we all came down with FBS (Freddy-Burpee Syndrome) where again we rotated between 3 burpees and 10 freddys. Good think that Gringo didn’t get it and was able to begin the carry to the cure. After that we succumbed to MHSS (monkey humper squat syndrome) where we rotated between 10 monkey humpers and 10 squats until saved. This time it was Skidmark that began hauling our butts to the cure. Finally we had a bout of BBSSHS (big boy side saddle hop syndrome). Our bodies convulsed into alternating 10 of each until saved. This time by Toretto. It was a scary day, but we all survived.

COT:
– We can learn from our exercise today that it is a powerful thing to work together as a group with a common goal rather than OYO. It would have been pretty discouraging if you were tasked to man carry 19 other guys. It was actually pretty fun and went fast when we were working as a unit. (this was my mini COT that came to me during the workout)
– “Send Me” is our F3 region motto as well as the theme for the GTE 46 event that some of us did this past weekend. I’ve not really thought about it much until this past weekend. I thought it was more about the Davy Crockett / Volunteer / Alamo thing. No doubt that this is a central part but it is actually from Isaiah 6:8 where Isaiah is getting his commission from God to speak to his people. “And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” Was Isaiah perfect? No. But he was ready to to accept this assignment from God. No doubt that God has prepared him somewhat for the challenged before without Isaiah’s knowing though.
– What do you think God is preparing you for? Is there an assignment you need to take on? Are you willing to say “Send Me.” Be on the lookout for these things, because they are all around us. Some are big things like job, church, or family needs. Some maybe are not so big, but may be just as important…an encouraging word, a bit of charity, doing your tasks with integrity, asking forgiveness, being a peacemaker, being a pleasant coworker, etc.
– In all that you face know that you are being prepared for an assignment, be ready to say “Send Me”
