Inch worms again?!

THE SCENE: around 35, full moon and dry
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

warm up stuff

THA-THANG:
I had a stack of about 30 or so cardboard pieces with different exercises and quantities on them. The PAX grabbed an exercise and ran to the next cone, roughly 30 yards away and did the exercise and quantity. Then they ran back to grab another card and brought it up to the cone as well. We continued until all cards were brought to the next cone. We repeated the process along a marked path. Some runs were longer than others, and we also picked up additional cards along the way. Exercise included were as follows: Merkins, squads, toe touch planks, inchworms, Burpees, dry docks, crunches, big boy sit ups, side straddle hops, jump, squats, and maybe a couple more I can’t remember. Quantities varied from five Merkins to 30 dry docks.

MARY:
Not much in terms of at work today. We just finished the last couple minutes with a round of ring of fire inchworms

What is a chiral molecule?

A molecule is said to be chiral if the object and its mirror image are non-superimposable, just like our right and left hand. They are essentially the same but completely different. One hand when placed over the other on a table do not line up, but when placed up against them selves they do. In the case of the well-known chiral painkiller, ibuprofen, the (S) or right -enantiomer has the desired pharmacological activity while the (R) left -enantiomer is totally inactive. In the case of Thalidomide, The R-enantiomer is an effective sedative, which has a soothing effect that relieves anxiety and makes the patient drowsy; while, the S-enantiomer is known to cause very serious teratogenic birth defects.
We can see this example with God. God created us in his own image when looking at us, we may look like him, but we are way different than he is. The difference that separates us from him is sin. When we separate ourselves from him we can become ineffective or even toxic and deadly. So how can we change this? Turn away from sin and come closer to God. Read his word, pray to him, follow his commands. When we turn towards him we change.

Excerpt from the foreword of “Man to Man, Dad to Dad: Catholic Faith and Fatherhood” by  Brian Caulfield:

I hear from many men who are quietly yet heroically living a life according to conscience, guided by natural law and the teaching of the Church. Even if they have not lived perfect lives, these men understand the dual meaning of the term “Fathers for Good.” First, once a man has a child, he is a father for good– there is no giving back the gift or commitment that comes with responsibilities. Second, every man, amid his own sin and weakness, deep down wanted to be a good father. He wants to offer something of lasting value to his child that only a father can give. He knows that despite many negative portrayals in popular media and culture, there is a great dignity in the role of father. 

Despite our best efforts, these are still difficult days for men and for fathers. Our identity and duties have been in flux for decades, and it is time for us to start building something new and better from the shifting sands of our culture. It’s time to build the next Greatest Generation. If you’re a man who has faith even the size of a mustard seed, there is a path for your marriage and your fatherhood that leads to the greatest satisfaction a person can have in this world– the grace and accomplishment of finding your vocation. True fatherhood is a call from God the Father.
