THE THANG:
Running was the name of the game. I brought the Pax along for a training run for an upcoming triathlon in the beautiful Secret City. We ran 1 of the 2 loops and stopped to complete some “namesake” work.
Humpers, American Hammers, Groiners, Gorey Al, Imperial Walkers, Indian run up a hill, Squats in tempo.
Had plenty of time to head to the Brickyard and fun with Cindy. Colt 45 to help our fun show, Lt Dans because we didn’t want to have no legs, OHP. Did some pull ups and held squat/plank while waiting

Mosey back to flag

MARY: Had too much fun to play with Mary.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanks to all who came out to compete and volunteer at Heart Break Hill this weekend

COT: Q shared a quote from Pope Leo XIV

“We are often preoccupied with teaching doctrine, the way of living our faith, but we risk forgetting that our first task is to teach what it means to know Jesus Christ and to
bear witness to our closeness to the Lord.
This comes first: to communicate the beauty of the faith, the beauty and joy of knowing Jesus. It means that we ourselves are living it
and sharing this experience.”

Know your faith and live your faith! Make it known WHO you are by showing WHOSE you are.

COT:
With mother’s day coming, I thought it would be a good opportunity to say a few words about the mothers in our lives. We probably wouldn’t be where we are today without the ones who raised us. We wouldn’t hardly be able to make it through the day without the ones who are by our side through it all. We get so busy in our day to day that we tend to forget how much of a blessing a wife is to us and our families. Proverbs 31 contains a description of a wife’s worthiness. In particular, verse 10 tells of her worth. “Her worth is far above jewels.” Our wives are a treasure that is far above value. If you are anything like me, you probably don’t tell her this often enough. There are far too many marriages that end for many reasons. Don’t let lack of appreciation for all she does be a reason for strife in your marriages. Remember to thank her for her contributions to the family. Show her that you love her. Make time to spend with her. She needs to feel appreciated.

Warm up

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
-Projectivator from 6 (only 6 real movies)

Naboo was under an attack
-Tempo merkins

And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
-Cherry pickers

But their response, it didn’t thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
-Seal Squats

We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
-Shake it out

We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
-Death march to the recruiting center

We all wound up on Tatooine
That’s where we found this boy…
-Grab a block

[Chorus] -5 blockees
Oh my, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon, I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon, I’m gonna be a Jedi”

-To the stairs; run the stairs between exercises
[Verse 1]
Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn’t even old enough to shave?
-30 Heavy big boys

But he can use the Force, they say
-10 Thrusters

Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he’s just nine and she’s fourteen?
Yeah, he’s probably gonna marry her someday
-30 Curls

Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I’ve heard how fast his pod can go
-30 Goblet Squats

And we were broke, it’s true
So we made a wager or two
-30 overhead press

He was a prepubescent flyin’ ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy
-10 man makers

[Chorus] -5 Blockees
We started singin’ “My, my, this here Anakin guy”
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi””

[Verse 2]
Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
-30 heavy lunges

So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midichlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
-30 tricep extensions

Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the Force?
-hold block over head and stand on 1 leg for 30 sec

They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
-30 2 count American Hammers

Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said “Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy”
-5 Urkey Durkeys

[Chorus] -5 Blockees
He was singin’ “My, my, this here Anakin guy”
May be Vader someday later, now he’s just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin’, “Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”
“Soon I’m gonna be a Jedi”

COT:
Today’s word is about Wisdom. Sometimes it is better to stop when you are ahead instead of always pushing for something more or better like George Lucas did with the prequel movies.

How do we know when it is time to stop and be content? Wisdom. Wisdom comes from experience, but also knowledge and from God. The Bible teaches us that if we ask for it, He will grant it.

Seek wisdom brothers.

Money is necessary, but we must be careful about our relationship with it. As Paul points out, money is not the root of evil, but the Love of money. This requires constant regrounding and cross checking. In my experience, one of the most helpful actions you can take to support a healthy relationship with money is to make giving your top priority.
