2019 has been a tough year among our F3 brotherhood – we have dealt with illness, injury, death.  In light of that and also in light of the Christmas season I decided to share several scriptures of encouragement to remind us that GOD is ultimately in control and we can find our rest in him.

MOLESKIN:
It’s always fun to have a big group together for a convergence workout – today was not different.   It was great to see many faces I hadn’t seen in a long time.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
3rd F immediately after the workout at Two Rivers church

The Burpily Feud

THE SCENE: Shorts Weather, but for real
WARM-O-RAMA: 

Those tricky SSHs where we do the last 20 in silence to see if everybody can count and stay focused. We came close, but it was 10 burpees for those of us who showed up on time (looking at you High Heels and Cheatsheet). Cherry Picker stay-downs, more baby arm circles than anybody wanted.
THA-THANG:
We moseyed low and slow, like Pele after Beaujolais. QIC stole a trick from the Lillydipper hisself and did some nickel-dime-quarters all the way to the Area 51 dropoff. Everest is for the kind of people who like wet feet and shaky legs; we were not those people.

Whatever else happens today, one thing went just right: 10 PAX came up on 10 CMUs up by the Esplanade construction. PAX choice CMU AMRAP. Question: where’s the only place Cheatsheet’s going to find singles? Answer: Wendy’s. Mans hits the double count every time. Don’t cheat yourself. Fist emoji.

Catch me if you can to the Cloud – thank you Curveball for not catching me the second time.

The Burpily Feud! No uhs, ums, pauses, or repeats.

Have a Nice Day on the 2 count.

My old college roommate Jack Webb showed up. I hate that guy.

Up the Little Hill and yours truly was shot.

MARY:
Who Mary?
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

Thanksgiving the Holiday was 1st put into place by George Washington for day of  “Public Thanksgiving and Prayer”. He called it a day devoted to “the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.” Abraham Lincoln made it a Federal Holiday. He called it a national day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.” — Let’s treat today as our own day of Thanksgiving and Prayer. Start a tradition or start a new one. Enjoy your families.

MOLESKIN:
We didn’t quite make 3 rounds of the Thanksgiving Feast. Mumblechatter was A+ today – You could tell the boys were excited to see Gus. We all thought the world of Tank for coming out in a neckbrace this morning to tough it out with us. Thanks for being brave Tank.
