Merky-Derky: Hands on CMU – one merkin. Bear crawl forward to feet on CMU – one derkin. Crawl bear to starting position. That’s one (sadistic count) or 2 (wussy count). We went with the wussy count and still audibled to 20. Those suck!

300 Calf Raises, 200 LBCs, 100 8-count Body Builders, running partner carries one CMU up the stairs, runs back down, carries other CMU up, then carries both down and tags partner.

Only a couple of pairs even made it to the body builders before we ran out of time.
Head back to return Companions to their home, then book it to the AO. Arrived 2 minutes late (sorry guys).

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
13 this fine Wednesday, including one FNG – Welcome Teller (Daniel Tanner)!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve mentioned this one before, but I need reminding of it myself pretty often: Eph. 5:25 – Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. Not just his ultimate sacrifice on the cross, but daily, in every action. Extreme patience with his mule-headed disciples. Gathering the sick and lame to himself, even when he had just walked miles from another town or crossed the the sea all night under a raging storm in a rickety little boat. That’s giving yourself. How will you follow that example today?
MOLESKIN:
Our Companions really slowed down travel… We can get to the Coupons or we can get to the stairs across the street, but definitely not both! Even without getting there, it still felt like a lot more running than I intended. PAX killed it anyway though with no [audible] cussing…

Revelation 3:15-16.  We are HIMs at our AOs in the mornings because we come out early and work hard to get better.  Don’t be lukewarm in your every day lives, but be HIMs all the time in everything that you do.  If you are lukewarm spiritually, God will spit you out of His mouth because He wants you to be hot for Him.
