CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
And Peter: From the Resurrection service at church, pastor spoke from Mark 16: 1-7.  The angel meets the women in the empty tomb and instructs them to tell the disciples AND PETER.  Only 3 days before, Peter had denied Jesus 3x just like Jesus had told him he would.  Peter was named specifically to show that he was forgiven.  If Jesus forgave Peter for his public denial, there’s nothing, outside of refusing to accept him, that he won’t forgive us for if we just ask and look to Him.
MOLESKIN:
8 strong came out in the unusual April cold and warmed up quickly.  They never stopped moving and ran until time was up.

Chase the Lion Manifesto!. Instead of me typing it up here, google it and it will come up. Capn Crunch read this to us at one of his Q’s for his BOM one morning. It has stuck with me and I try to read it every so often to get a life check. Its short and sweet but means so much to me. Thank you for sharing Capn! I love to share it with others.
MOLESKIN:
I miss seeing my bros at the Dog Pound. So many AOs and so many great HIMS out there that I look up to at all the different AOs. I encourage more Pax to go visit other AOs to meet others and grow our community. Not saying to stop going to the one closest to you, but one morning every once and while, wake up a little earlier and drive a little further to visit other AOs and meet the HIMs that make their particular AO special. Thanks to all the HIMS at all the AOs for being who you are, leaders!

Looking for Jenny

THE SCENE: Dry and balmy 50.  Perfect.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH, Goofballs, and Windmills
THA-THANG:
Mosey to the back parking lot.  Run to cones doing the following:

  • 8 – burpees
  • 6 – lunges
  • 7 – imperial squat walkers
  • 5 – merkins
  • 30 – plank jacks
  • 9 squats, plank up at start until all accounted for.
  • Repeat

Mosey back to front of school/planters.

  • Rockette dips in sets of 8,6,7,5,3,0,9 with 4 jump squats between each set.  This seemed to be a bit confusing as some thought we were doing box jumps and weren’t sure about the rockette dip numbers per set.  More on this later.

Mosey over to the playground splash pad and did this routine 3x.

  • 8 – Descending carolina dry docks
  • 6 – Big boy situps
  • 7 – mountain climbers
  • 5 – merkins
  • 3 – burpees
  • 10 – SSH
  • 9 – squats

Mosey across Emory Rd up to car wash and did 10 merkins.

Mosey back to school planters.  Since we had confusion (VQ issue) before and some wanted to do box jumps, we did 2 sets of 20 box jumps.

Moved over to starting circle for Mary.

MARY:

all in sequence – flutter kicks 20, hello dolly 20, Thors to 5.

Finished the search for Jenny fun by listening to the inspiration for this Q, 867-5309 while holding a plank position.  Performed a plank jack anytime we heard Jenny (11) and a merkin for every 8645309 (21).

We all fail.  It’s how we react to and overcome failure that matters.  Inspired by Gary Robbins and his missing the 60 hour cut-off time at the Barkley Marathon by 6 seconds last year.  He didn’t quit or give up after this failure.  He came back this year and while no one finished, he made it farther than anyone (3 laps).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Easy message.  Don’t be selfish.

Make time for God first.  Make time for you family.  Make time for others. Then make time for yourself.  Stop being so selfish and begin being selfless.  I had a good friend, and member of the PAX point out that if he helped do the dishes or laundry at his house, how quick he was to point it out to his wife.  When in reality his wife is the one that does all the laundry and dishes at the house, so why should she be impressed that he helped once.  Even though he was doing an act to try and help someone else, he still wanted his “thanks” or “atta boy” for doing it.

God did not create you to be awesome in your own little world.  He created you to:

  • Have a relationship with him.
  • To spread, multiply, and grow God followers
  • To love one another
