A fine morning to be outside; maybe a little steamy from the rain last night
6 Motivators (still got it), the Stretchies (safety first), the Preacher (thanks @preacher John Stone), BSIAd around the lot and picked up some lapidarian buddies for the journey.

Made our way to the Bros Bowl and commenced to sweating. Has my summer fling with late night BOGO Hägen Daåzs Cookies and Cream been beneficial? I can’t make that determination yet. It’s been a pleasure, I’ll say that. But now I need to put in a little work in to balance things out. Matlock (Bill Maddox) knows what I’m talking about. So the PAX helped straighten me out with multiple dead sprints up the hill.

And the stars came out. Cinco (Scott McGuire) led; Double Wide led; Aquafina was up there. @white belt has wheels! Cat Gut (Mike Davis) was never far behind and in fact led every time down the hill when the rest of us were too gassed to move.

We curled, we OHPd, we lunged, etc.

This being Friday, and us knowing how things should be, we went to the ATM. A fine finish for a great week, thanks to Cat Gut (Mike Davis)for starting us off on Skunk Hill and to Cinco (Scott McGuire) for an interesting trip to Muscle Beach.

COT: put yourself in the way of beauty and life. Serve out of gratitude, and you’ll be free from yourself.

“I Am Who I Am” – Exodus 3:14

In a world full of instability and change, God introduces Himself with a name that declares eternity, consistency, and presence.
• He is not “I was” or “I will be”—He is.
• God doesn’t evolve, fade, or adjust based on culture or circumstances.
• Just as He led Israel through the wilderness, He leads us today—unchanged in character, unshaken in power.
