Gift giving day for the PAX. 5 gifts were scattered about Sandy Springs and the Grinder each containing exercise for the HIM who opened the gift or for a member of the PAX. PAX could only give a gift once and receive a gift once.

1. Completed a game of HANGMAN. PAX performed side straddle hops while guessing. If guesses wrong, performed 5 burpees. ESPY guessed ADVENT correctly: Drifter given gift of 60 box jumps while rest of PAX held plank.

word in box: HOPE

2. PAX lined up at end of grinder and bear crawled length. First place Napster opened gift and gave Nair 20 burpees while PAX performed push ups.

word in box: PEACE

3. PAX Indian ran to Mt Crumpet. Leader in front was Taco at Crumpet who gave Hellbender 40 thrusters with CMU that happened to be lying at top while PAX performed monkey humpers.

word in box: JOY

4. Indian ran back to Grinder when someone noticed a bonus package on side of trail. Nair opened and gave everyone the gift of 50 big boys. Al gore to wait for PAX once done.

5. Returned to Grinder and circled up at far end. Jingle Bells played while everyone performed 10 repetitions of an exercise of their choice and passed it to the next person. The person exercising when music stopped got to open last gift. Postpone enjoyed 10 pull ups, 10 merkins, 10 dry docks all to himself while PAX flutter kicked.

word in box: LOVE

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
It’s the season of Advent, or the ‘not yet’ season leading up to the birth of Christ. Focus on preparing our mind and hearts for coming of Christ into this world. Don’t get so distracted by the day of Christmas, stay in the moment and prepare yourself. The workout today was based on the Advent wreath: Hope, peace, joy, love.
MOLESKIN:
Singing oh Lord, keep me in the moment
Help me live with my eyes wide open
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me
(I don’t wanna miss, I don’t wanna miss)
Singing oh Lord, show me what matters
Throw away what I’m chasing after
‘Cause I don’t wanna miss what you have for me

Reflection on James 4:17 which says, “17 wSo whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.”  My faith leads me to believe in the devil and demons.  My faith also tells me that though they are active, the number one enemy I have is the man in the mirror.  Deal with my heart first, make the hard choices first, then help others.  Do just one thing today that makes you better, and you have killed a clone of you that did nothing (I stole that from Ethan Suplee).
