12 Pax pushed through today.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
When we pulled up in front of Matterhorn, just the thought of what possible misery could be done on that beast was tough. Although we didn’t run up it, it was already hard. The biggest battle we fight is between our ears. We need to remember to invite God into those battles so we’re not standing alone against the enemy. Life can be relentless and if we’re not relentless, it can swallow us whole.

MOLESKIN:

PAX worked hard today, the harder the workout got, the harder I saw these men push. Please keep our PAX in your prayers. Many of us are being called to be leaders for friends, family and neighbors that are going through hardships. Special shout-out to Stitches who is going through MEPS today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It was the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy. I shared two stories from a book (Feet of Clay) written by a POW that was freed in Poland by the Russians shortly after Normandy. The POWs witnessed civilians being murdered outside of combat zones. So, I wanted to share that not only should we be grateful for those that serve and sacrifice in combat, we should also be thankful that our communities are not torn apart by conflict. We are not stuck between two powerful nations with destructive ideologies like those in Eastern Europe (and of course elsewhere in the world).

The PAX moseyed over to a cone circuit. 5 cones were placed at three distances (Cone 1=short sprint, Cone 2=medium sprint, Cone 3=long sprint, Cone 4=medium sprint, Cone 5=short sprint).

Each cone had an exercise listed at its base (Cone 1 = BBS, Cone 2 = Carolina Dry Docks, Cone 3 = Squats, Cone 4 = Merkins, Cone 5 = American Hammers).

Pax sprinted to each cone and performed 5 reps of the listed exercise at that cone. In between Cones 3 and 4 we paused for sets of 7-ups with the pee rocks (curls, presses, tris with a heavy rock in ascending rep count from 1 to 7 and back down to 1).

Continue this patter, increasing rep count by 5 each time. Right before Mary we re-grouped at the start line for one last sprint to the long cone.

Two FNGs today – great work PAX! Welcome to Twinkletoes and Peek-a-boo!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Take some time to review the words used in traditional wedding vows and really let them soak in. I was at a wedding with my 3 yo daughter this weekend and had to explain the ceremony to her curious mind. I found myself interpreting the wedding vows in ways that I probably didn’t consider 6 years prior when I repeated them to my bride (who is way out of my league). It really stood out to me that I am not always a good example of what those vows mean, even though I should be since I’m setting the example that she may use for her future husband one day.
MOLESKIN:
Felt good to be back with the PAX after two fartsacks in the last few days – thanks, guys!
