Didn’t happen

THE SCENE: Low 40s, clear, crisp, waning gibbous moon almost bright enough to read by.

Didn’t happen
WARM-O-RAMA:
Didn’t do 25x SSH IC
Didn’t do 5x Cherry Pickers IC
Didn’t do 15x Tempo Squats IC
Didn’t do 5x Cobra Burpees OYO
Didn’t do 20x Mountain climbers IC
DID do 20 Burpees
THA-THANG:
After a 10 count, didn’t mosey to Long Island
8 stations were not set up around Long Island for a “bump and run” style rotation. However, with only 8 PAX that’s one station too many. Didn’t take a lap to call out the exercises and select which one to drop. One PAX at each station stays and does exercise until bumped. When bumped, move to next station and bump that PAX.

Embrace the Earth Burpees were not chosen to skip, therefore the stations were not:
Monkey Humpers
Merkins
Catalina Wine Mixers
BBS
CDD
Sprint up both sets of stairs
Pickle Pounders

Just shy of two rounds were not completed. Did not mosey back to AO.

MARY:
Didn’t do 35x Flutter Kicks IC
Didn’t do 20x Freddie Mercs IC
Didn’t do 10x Side Crunch each side IC

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 PAX didn’t show up today and kill this beatdown.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
With apologies to Snitch who got it on Tuesday, a repeat of that BOM.
Proverbs 21:1 –
The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord;
he turns it wherever he will.
Proverbs 19:21 –
Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.

So what then should we do? 1 Timothy 2:1-4 tells us:
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Note that it says “Thanksgivings” for “all people”…. Not for your guy if he wins, but all.

Super-lucky 13 under a full Halloween moon. Welcome FNG Airwolf!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Of all the holidays of the year, the most overcommercialized/ignored true meaning (by percentage anyway) has to be All Saints Day. Halloween (All Hallows Eve) has completely taken over to the point that many don’t even know about All Saints Day, which was created to celebrate and honor all those saints who didn’t have their own feast days. Take some time tomorrow personally or with your family to read up on a saint (not necessarily just those recognized by the Catholic Church), either ancient or modern-day, thank God for their example, and be inspired.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
MOLESKIN:
I was amazed by the luck of this group, only pulling three out of ten “Trick” cards…

7 HIM faithful this morning… About 6 more than I expected given Fall Break plus conditions…
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:45

The rain today brought this verse to mind… We often hear this passage in the context of how good and bad things happen to both good and bad people. But the real context is in showing love to your enemies as well as your loved ones. Both sunshine and rain are physical manifestations of God’s grace, mercy, and provision. He gives these most basic blessings freely to all. Jesus is telling us that showing love to all regardless of their status is the most basic way to be children of our Father.

MOLESKIN:
Good ol turf fields smelled like wet rubber this morning… Glad plenty of guys showed up so I didn’t have to decide whether or not to do this by myself… That last lap was only 6 reps of each exercise per stop… Not sure if I have ever looked less favorably at just 6.
