“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God– even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.” 1st Corinthians 10:31

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.

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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Snag a spot on the Q Calendar.
