Short and sweet today.  Question:  Is the culture in your workplace the way you want it to be?   If not…what are you doing to change it?

MOLESKIN:

Cosmo pointed out that we may have set an F3 record of sorts….we didn’t do any merkins!  It wasn’t intentional, but that’s how it worked out.   Does it really count as an F3 beatdown if you don’t do any merkins??

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

One good thing about Qing yesterday and having no repeat PAX today….I can recycle the BOM!  It’s still applicable!

We talked about resolutions for the new year.  New year’s day is a good time to reflect on the past year and put plans in place to make yourself better in the coming year.  2 Corinthians 5:17 says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation; old things have passed away and new things have come.  This is refreshing to hear as we begin a new year.  We all have parts of 2018 we’d like to forget.  I challenged the PAX today to center their resolutions around being more like Christ in 2019.  If we draw closer to Christ and become more and more like him each day, the “normal” resolutions of physical fitness, time management, diet, fiscal responsibility, etc. will take care of themselves.

Raining, cold, EARLY didn’t matter to the pax.  They all knocked out this workout without any problems except for Shooter counting the manmakers way, way, way too fast.
