WARM-O-RAMA:

Cherry Pickers, Newtons Cradle, Tempo Squats, Maracan Night Club, Mountain climbers
THA-THANG:
Mosey to the base of jucamajaro, with a stop at the guardrail for some dips.

At every other line we did an exercise till the 6 was up and then did a few more.  Ran 2 lines, repeat.  Merkins, downhill merkins, Squats, LBC’s, downhill bbs, lots of abs on the way down.  This is where the jokes started and it was all downhill from there.

Dirkins on the guardrail, some SSH and other things till be bernie’d up the hill to the pull up bars.  3 pull ups, then we had to get some steps to make the middle bar closer.  1 CMU rifle carry, 2nd time Curls.  2 bricks was enough for the Q to reach the high bar, double carry down.  Indian run back with the line bernie and the back running to the front.  Jokes got so bad we did some Burpies and a ring of fire.

LBC, Hello Dolly’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.  Romans 12:9-13

This passage made me think of the story I heard recently.  With all the horror of Afghanistan the story of one TN marine who was not slothful in zeal but was fervent in spirit and served the Lord by serving his dear brother, his interpreter from his time in Afghanistan.  His love, being genuine, flowed naturally to giving to the needs of others and showing hospitality.

Challenge 1: Read https://mydearbrother.org/ and as the Lord leads consider giving https://www.gofundme.com/f/my-friend-my-interpreter

Challenge: Memorize the above passage.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
IPC on Friday!  Keep on pushing it.

Fill up the calendar or you’ll have more poorly planned Q’s that go from Jucomajaro to the pull up bars with jokes that make it feel twice as long.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

— Eph 6:12

This life is full of conflict, war, disease, this workout, and many many terrible things. Let’s not get confused about who the enemy is. Not humans or even this broken world but against spiritual forces of evil who seek to do eternal damage.

Jesus reminds us that in this world we will have trouble. But take heart; he has overcome the world. (John 16:33) Look to Jesus for our peace and heaven for our rest.

1 Pet 3:7
 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

MOLESKIN:
We should strive in every endeavor (even the small things) to empathize with our wives and seek to honor them so that our prayer life may not be hindered. Always room to improve in this area for all of us

Colossians 3:17 NIV. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

This verse represents what a HIM is supposed to represent, doing everything to His Name means bringing your all. That’s what Iron PAX is all about. We encourage each other to go beyond what we thought was possible. We serve a God who can do infinitely more than we imagine, let’s give Him our all.
