THE THANG:
– Ran over to the Gridiron for a Route 66 on Merkins
– Ran to the top of the Fieldhouse Turf to start our game of Chance.
– The PAX were divided into two teams. One team would work a list of exercises and then stack a cone when the list was complete. The other team would run to a location based on the roll of the :game_die: . When the running team returned, the exercise team would stop on their list and roll the :game_die: to find out where they would run. The first run team would start the exercises while the other team ran. The second run team would return to the exercise list where they left off and repeat the cycle for 4 total rounds of exercises, or until the Q called to recover.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: One team did get a lot of bad rolls of the :game_die:. So unless you’re really needing “5” at the Craps table, you might need to stick to cards.

COT: Reject passivity. In the beginning Adam failed to stand up for Eve which caused the serpent to tempt us in the beginning. We as HIMs should stand up for what we know to be right, do not stand idly by, but follow the path He has laid for us.
