WARMUP: Charmin had us doing all kinds of things that unnerved us before even getting to The Thang.
THE THANG: Charmin took us to three different pavilions where we were crushed with his mesmerizing and crushing exercises. We took CMU size boulders to the first pavilion and he made us raise and swing those things around until are arms could no longer take it.
High-Heels took over after the third pavilion of exercises by Charmin. High-Heels took us to the Caribbean parking lot where we ran from 6 o’clock counter clockwise to 9 o’clock stopping at 3, 12 and 9 o’clock to do various exercises. We did this about a million times until we were barely breathing. Lilydipper took us from there back to the 1st Pavilion to grab those doggone boulders that Charmin wore us out with. We had to go to the AO parking lot and team up for Doras. Partners did exercises with the dagnab boulders while the other ran around the parking lot, a heaving and a bursting with air until partners traded places. We weren’t done after we put the boulders back. Lily made us run various sprints (Bernie, High Knees, etc.) until we had stumble to the pavilion for the BOM.
MARY: We were so beat down what we didn’t have the time nor ability to do the Mary.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence at Big Ball on January 20!!
COT: Message: Plunging Into The New Year
Why do we this F3 Thing for another doggone year
1. It is completely stupid
2. It involves community.
3. It is a line of demarcation.
4. It is acceptance of pain.
5. It is release.
6. It is invigoration.
7. It is celebration.
Also, prayers for F6 on vocational search, prayers for those heading back to school or college, and praise for the health of Matlock’s nephew, John.

COT:
Gift of Giving,
The gift of making someone smile can go a long way. Take a look at all things around you and how thankful we should be. We are fortunate to have the brotherhood we have established. These are life long friendships. I encourage to find a way to give to either a church, someone in need, a child for Christmas, or just anything in General.

A prayer for 2024:
God of Love, You are with us in every transition and change. As we enter this new era with excitement and even some anxiety, we recall your deep compassion, presence, and abounding love. We thank you for the gifts, talents, and skills with which you have blessed us. We thank you for the experiences that have brought us to this moment. We thank you for the work of others that gives breadth and depth to our own work. Be with us as we move forward, rejoicing with you and supporting one another.
We ask this in your Holy Name.
