Introductions are made with the Asylum Yule Log aka Santa’s Sleigh.

4 reindeer pull the sleigh from one end of narrow parking lot to other and back while the elves work in the shop doing Manmakers, LBCs, Narrow Squats and flutter kicks  Trade off until everybody has done one round of each exercise and pulled the sleigh at once.

Mosey around back with yule log in tow.  Volunteers switch out.  Start with 4 pulling the sleigh.  Switch to 3 after one harness breaks.  During switches, do some form of exercise.  Wait a bit while the Q hits the ground after getting tangled with the sleigh.

At the back parking lot, do the following exercises, followed by full out sprint across parking lot, followed by 10 second rest and slow mosey back to start.  Repeat with different exercise.  Each round consists of:

  • Smurfjacks x 30 – sprint – slow mosey back
  • Lunges x 40 – sprint – slow mosey back
  • Reverse back down to Burpees
  • Modified Dora:  4 teams of 3.  Each team provides one reindeer to pull sleigh across the parking lot while the other two on the team are doing exercises.  Keep switching out until done with:

    • 200 BBS
    • 100 Burpees

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Happiness does not come from the absence of struggle.  It comes from the ability to deal with struggle.  We all struggle.  It is easier to overcome if you have help.  Who can we help overcome their struggles?  Who can we help find happiness?

As we approach Christmas remember that it is not a “story”. It is literal. God came to earth. His Glory was revealed to the shepherds. Angels, stars, Kings, Joseph, Mary. All literal. Not just a sweet story.

And God Said No’ (poem)

Here’s a poem, “And God Said No,” written in 1980 by a woman raised in an alcoholic home, whose sister was murdered and middle daughter diagnosed with a severe disorder requiring 24-hour care, … and the list of suffering and trauma could go on.

I asked God to take away my pride, and God said "NO". 
He said it was not for Him to take away, but for me to give up.

I asked God to make my 
handicapped child whole, 
and God said "NO".
He said her spirit is whole, her body is only 
temporary.

I asked God to grant me 
patience, and God said "NO".
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation, 
it isn't granted, it's 
earned.

I asked God to give me 
happiness, and God said 
"NO".
He said He gives blessings, happiness is up to me.

I asked God to spare me 
pain, and God said "NO".
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings yo closer to me.

I asked God to make my 
spirit grow, and He said 
"NO".
He said I must grow on my 
own, but He will prune me 
to make me fruitful.

I asked God to help me love others as much as He loves me,
And God said "Ah, finally 
you have the idea"!
