MARY:
YHC spoke a short reminder about Cardinal and his efforts to complete Make America Burpee Again, or 100 burpees a day for each day in January.  Reminder to pray for his family and to make our days count.

The Cardinal 100 is 100 Burpees divided by the number of PAX in attendance. Each PAX did 20 burpees for a group total of 100.

YHC originally miscalculated the number to be 25 each but was quickly corrected.

Outsourced the Word to the sixth man Fixer Upper who shared about feeling a lack of motivation lately. We were encouraged by his resilience in desiring to provide for his family in the midst of this season.
MOLESKIN:
Learn from us- in a DORA format, 200 CWMs is a bit ambitious- especially on the concrete… Wedding Singer was picking gravel out of his elbows on his way back to the car.
