COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I heard a story of a guy recently who was watching his car being stolen on a cold morning when he had left it running outside to warm up. He noticed the car being driven away through a window and out of instinct chased the guy down. The thief, being cold and disoriented, couldn’t put the car in park and eventually stopped the car but didn’t run away. The owner of the car after regaining possession of the vehicle saw the thief and rather than anger had felt pity for him. He was poor, homeless, delirious, cold and unable to think clearly. The story ended with with the car owner driving the thief to a shelter where he could get his needs met.

It took a week of this stewing inside my mind to realize how much this mirrored the Christmas story. God, rather than anger, had mercy, even when we were yet his enemy. Also, I consider the many times I look at people in anger instead of compassion.  Jesus said, “forgive them for they know not what they do.” Do I consider people as those who are suffering and lost?

Burpee Baseball – JUCO July 23, 2018

THE SCENE: Juco parking lot,  Wanted to do on actual baseball diamond on campus but torrential rains yesterday made it a swamp.  So cement baseball here we come!  75 degrees – very humid – slight fog

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Did two burpees of each of the 20 different made up burpees that are written on the old softballs with sharpies.  Basically it combines the exercises we know and love with a Burpee.  What’s written on the ball is just the name of the exercise to combine with a burpee.  Here are the types:

  1. Iron Mike
  2. Frog   (out and back with legs while in plank)
  3. Big Boy
  4. Squat Jump
  5. Release Merkin
  6. Side Straddle Hop
  7. Double Merkin
  8. Lunge
  9. Imperial Walker
  10. Cross Mountain Climber

THA-THANG:

  • Teams: Split group into two teams (doesn’t matter how many players each hopefully will be even number of players)
  • Equipment: 22 Balls with burpee type written on it (one or two words).  5 hard balls, 17 softballs.
  • Game Play: All players remain in their teams dug-out while two players come up to the field for a “Play at bat”. One player from the “At bat” team comes up to race against one player from the “outfield” team.  The at bat player throws the ball as hard as he can and tries to get around the bases back to home before the “outfield” player can retrieve the ball and bring it back to home plate.   The player to make it back to home first gets the thrown ball for his team (and thus the points).
  • Object of the game:  The team with the most points wins.  Two points for softballs and five points for hardballs.
  • Burpees: When a player at bat picks a ball he announces it to everyone what type of burpee is written on the ball.  When that player rounds a base he has to do two burpees of that type.   When the outfield player reaches the ball he has to do five burpees of that type before he starts running for home.  While the two players are running and retrieving the ball, their respective teams have to do the same burpees as their player who is running the play.  So the outfield team does five when their player does five and the at bat team does two burpees in sync with their player as he rounds the base.
  • Infield / Outfield Switch:  The at bat team has three throws before switching to being an outfield team.
  • Hardballs:  If the at bat player picks a hardball – then all the reps are doubled.  Therefore, four burpees per base and ten burpees for retrieving (the teams in the dugouts also have to do the rep increase).
  • Game End / Lightning Round: If all 22 balls are thrown before 30 minutes is up, then the lightning round commences.  The balls are totaled (2 points per softball and 5 points per hardball). The team with the most points wins. All balls are put back in the pot. The lightning round is the same as before except the burpee repetitions is one per base and zero for the retriever.

Struggling with loving abusive family members sucks big !@#$.  Prayers requested for living a lifestyle of forgiveness and not just a “I’ll just forgive you once” mentality.  Jesus calls us and shows us to a higher calling that we can only “achieve” with the help & strength of the Holy Spirit! Praise God for the helper!
