CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.”

‭‭James‬ ‭5:13-16‬

Mosey to base camp.

Pax started at base camp doing 5 HR merkins, 10 Squats, and 15 mountain climbers. Then they went to station 1 and then back to base camp. Then, they went to station 1, 2, and back to base camp. Then station 1, 2, 3, back to base camp, etc…. until they completed all 6 stations. Then they worked their way back down.

  • Station 1 = 10 merkins
  • Station 2 = 20 carolina dry docks
  • Station 3 = 30 monkey humpers
  • Station 4 = 40 side crunches (20 each side)
  • Station 5 = 50 pickle pounders
  • Station 6 = 60 SSH

So, if my math is right, PAX completed:

  • 110 squats, 165 merkins, 165 mountain climbers, 180 dry docks, 210 monkey humpers, 200 side crunches, 150 pickle pounders, 60 SSH.

9 HIM starting the week off right.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

  1. There are fake friends, and you can be a fake friend.
    • Proverbs 19:6 — Many seek the favor of a generous man, and everyone is a friend to a man who gives gifts.
    • We can be friends with people purely from what we get from them.
  1. There are difficult friends and you can be a difficult friend.
  • Self-serving. Hyper negative and critical. Rude all the time. 
  1. There are faithful friends and you can be a faithful friend. 
  • Proverbs 17:17 — “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
  • Proverbs 18:24 — “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Some Reps and Some Running

THE SCENE: Low 40s with strong wind, so chilly.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
307th day of the year, 58 remaining

SSHs (4 ct) x 30

Little baby arm circles forward (4 ct) x 15

Little baby arm circles backward (4 ct) x 15

Some Michael Phelps and little of this and a little of that

School Zone showed up late, so 5 burpees.

School Zone said that he intentionally missed the SSHs because he figured that we would do 50 of them.  He was probably joking about all or some of that.  Still . . .

SSHs (4 ct) x 70

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the flag pole

100 merkins followed by one lap around the track

100 merkins and 200 LBCs followed by two laps around the track

100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 squats followed by three laps around the track

That was as far as the rabbits made it before time ran out, so no one made it to 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 squats, and 400 CDDs followed by four laps.  Maybe next time or perhaps an hour-long Saturday workout.

Mosey back to the AO

MARY:
We held plank for the minute or so that we had left.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I read the lyrics to the song “Fearless” by the Goo Goo Dolls (I did not sing).  I won’t repeat them here, but listen to the song or read the lyrics if you are not familiar.  John Rzeznik has said that the song was inspired by the anxious state of 21st-century America and the fear-mongering media.  It was released in 2019.  The lyrics resonate even more now.  As the song says, we are living in an unfair and scared world, so we need to be fearless and let our light shine.  See 2 Timothy 1:7 (“For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline.”).

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for Ribbed’s wife, Blindside’s family with the loss of his uncle and his grandmother’s cancer diagnosis, the Q’s daughter, and the strength to be fearless in the world.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Judge Judy’s Christmas Party

Coats for the Cold
