COT:
Remembering the story of Abraham and Issac in Genesis 22. Recognizing that God calls us into hard things to test our faith, but is with us intimately in those trials. God himself offered up his only son just as he asked Abraham to do, and Jesus willingly went and did actually die. The Lord knows us more intimately than any human ever could hope too, and therefore in hard times we can lean on Him and remember that he truly knows our suffering.

Hebrews 4:12-16
[14] Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. [16] Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Look I fartsacked on Saturday and missed an epic sledding Q, and my weekend only got lazier from there. I didn’t even bother to check the mail. The goal of today’s Q was to get as much work in as we could without overdoing it.

Secondary goal was to give F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) the gift of early completion for the day, and we would have succeeded wildly if not for the fact that F3 Pluto ( Hugh Nystrom) was, for all we know, in bed, or doing burpees alone while listening to James Clear podcasts.

My intent was to lightly warm shoulders, not blast them this time, but when I start yapping I lose track of time, so you’re welcome. We warmed up, we guaranteed 10 years of life for all in attendance (you’re welcome again), we moseyed, we hit Cardiac pretty hard, we did 106 burpees.

There was some invented controversy, entirely predictable, as to the timing of the end of the Q. To that I will only say Gibbler that the Q may not always be right, but he’s never wrong.

I flubbed my BOM. Lack of oxygen to the brain.
