THA-THANG:
The workout was simple, but due to the Ghostflag, we had two well represented groups from Juco & F3 Smokies vying to take it home.  We chose to host a competition, and the first group with 3 to finish the workout below took home the flag.
The workout was as follows:
The Impossible Mile
400 M Run
100 Merkins
400 M Run
100 Squats
400 M Run
100 BURPEES
400 M Run

Following that sweat fest, we moved over to the Jesus statue and found a battle buddy.  One partner held a wall squat while the other partner did 50 dips.  After both partners completed the exercises, we switched one partner held a balls to the wall while the other partner did 50 step ups.  Once both partners completed both exercises, we moseyed back to the flag for a Mary.

MARY:
The Mary was very popular today.
10 snow angels in cadence followed by 10 merkins
20 Flutters in cadence followed by 10 merkins
13 Shoulder taps in cadence followed by 10 merkins
finally 7 more burpees

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today we talked about the Golden rule and simply treating others the way that we want to be treated.  Especially making a hard workout for those trying to steal the Ghost Flag because I expect a hard workout if I want to steal it back!!

7 PAX earned their Thanksgiving dinner

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today is Thanksgiving and I want to share some personal experiences from my life as a reminder that God is worthy of our praise and thankfulness no matter our circumstances.

When I was in middle school my grandmother got very sick and the last two months of her life she lived with us. The day she died I sat in her room crying and God brought a song to my mind. Fast forward to adulthood and my M and I are matched with a birth mother to adopt our first child, a boy we named Sebastian. While with my whole family celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary, we receive a call that the birth mother had backed out and we would not be Sebastian’s parents. God brings the same song to mind and we sing as a family. Fast forward about 1 and 1/2 years later and we are in a hospital in Florida preparing to leave with our baby girl. We have gone into say goodbye to her birth mother and although this is a joyous day for us we recognize the pain that Carrie’s birth mother is experiencing. We sing that same song with her and the social worker. The song’s lyrics are this:

“I love you Lord and I lift my voice to worship You. Oh my soul rejoice. Take joy my King in what you hear. May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear”

Some may think this is a strange song to sing during some of the hardest times in my life and they may just be right. The thing is, God is worthy of our praise no matter the circumstance we find our self in.

MOLESKIN:
Pray for Pennies and Shoelaces as they both lost loved ones this week. Pray for Halfday’s M having kidney stone surgery today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Rock, paper, scissors, flipping a coin and drawing cards can all be seen a luck. However, luck is just something we tell ourselves when we do not understand the journey or the outcome. In truth, God has ordained out steps, He is with us in our journey and doesn’t leave us no matter the outcome.  Trust in Him, not in the illusion of luck
