My third Q this week… Creative juices are running low. Today is half of each of two previous beatdows, smashed together.

Mosey/Bernie to the CMUs, each pick one.
Battle Buddy up for the first section, a modified Dora.
One PAX does specified reps of stationary exercise while the other performs the specified moving exercise.
When reps are done, stationary PAX goes to relieve moving PAX, who switches to the stationary. All exercies (stationary and moving) done with CMU.
When this was last Tuesday’s CMUesday at the asylum, each PAX did each exercise twice. Today, each exercise just once.

10 Bus Drivers / Mosey
15 Blockees / Bear Crawl
20 V-Ups / Rifle Carry
25 Derkins / Weighted Duck Walk
30 Squats / Murder Bunnies
35 Curls / Twist Lunge

After putting up the blocks, time for a little Bump and Run.
Exercises in each of the parking lot’s 4 corners. Start with PAX at each corner, plus one “bump” group. Begin work, each corner does reps until bumped. “Bump” group moseys from one corner to the next, bumping the group there to the next station.

Partakers of His Suffering

…but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.

The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”

Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”
MOLESKIN:
Not sure what was going on in that white van that was idling in the parking lot with an empty driver’s seat. Kinda wanted to run close by it so maybe the doors open and I get snatched in and don’t have to do any more burpees.

F3 5 Qualities of a Virtuous Leader (https://f3nation.com/lead-right-q3/)   

Candor– Graciously telling the truth and demanding to hear it from others

Commitment-Unwavering loyalty to a group and unflinching determination to accomplish its Mission (This breeds long term sustainable results)

Consistent-possess an unchanging nature, If you cannot be relied upon results will be inconsistent. 

Contentment-Stable emotions that pursue joy instead of happiness. A content leader can abandon personal comforts for the greater goal. 

Courage-Creating the habit of setting aside fear to turn hardship into grace. Accepting fear as necessary but overcoming it by being prepared and having self-control. 

 

2 Peter 1:5-8

5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue,[e] and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities[f] are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No matter who wins the election today, about half the country is saying that will be the worst possible thing that could happen to America. But as we head into today and especially the evening, I want to leave you with encouragement from the Word:

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.

Tried to be a benevolent dictator today and not keep those fingers in contact with cold concrete for too long…

Prayer. I felt called to exercise my communication with God today. I’m great at praying with my family at the dinner table and with my kids at night before bed. During the day I tend to put God on mute and I always kick myself for not praying more. 

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18NET

16 Always rejoice, 17 constantly pray, 18 in everything give thanks. For this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

THA-THANG:
The decision on a morning like this is, do we just get soaked right off the bat, or do we try to stay dry and retain some of our dignity? It’s not cold yet, so maybe manlier men than me would have just worked out in the rain. But we stayed within the friendly confines of the Pavalon. (Anybody seen Walkabout lately?)

We still got some cardio in, just in small, rectangular increments. I added a colony of deadly fire ants as an additional hazard to avoid, just for interest.

Burpee lap doras, Junk Science, Stepdowns, Walkovers, Balls to the Walls, you name it. All in the name of showing up in the gloomiest gloom. We stayed out of the rain but we ended up soaked anyway – y’all fartsackers missed out on some real sweating.
