No CMUesday

THE SCENE: A hint of fall in the air.  First time in the 50’s in a while
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Warmed up with 20 SSH on 4ct, Tie Fighters Left and Right x10, Rockettes x12, Imperial Walkers x10 mosey’d to pavilion for 10 tempo incline merkins and 10 tempo dips.
THA-THANG:
Mosey’d to lower parking lot for a 4 corner(ish) workout starting at corner 1 with 25 jump squats.  From there you bear crawl out to cone 1 about 20 yards out, once there switched to crab walks to cone two, then once at cone 2 back to bear crawls to cone 3.

25 gas pumpers at cone 3 then run to the 3rd corner at adjacent parking lot for 25 merkins, and then run to 4th and final corner for 25 dry docks.  Hope was to finish 4 rounds.  We didn’t quite get 4

Once 6 was up we completed a circuit in one parking lot.  Idea was one exercise at a time, performing 25 at one end, run to the other end of the lot for 20, run back for 15 and so on.  All the way to 5 reps

Once you completed 5 reps you moved on to the next exercise.

Exercises were: LBC, Flutter Kick, and F Mercury’s

Once completed we had time for one last “Hard as you can” up Baby Everest.  Then circled up.

MARY:
We did 10 SSH’s on 4ct.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We talked about loss and I shared this prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank you for guaranteeing the Day of no more death—whether by “natural causes” and aging, way too early “Homecomings,” or by senseless acts and dark circumstances. Though you have already removed death’s “sting” (1 Cor. 15:55-56), it still slaps us in the face, buckles our knees, and rocks our sensibilities,.

 

Thank you for validating our shock, encouraging our grief, and giving us tears. Standing before your friend’s grave, you wept before you raised Lazarus to life. You revealed your anguish before you exercised your power. Death is a violation. It’s not the way things are supposed to be.

 

It’s only because of your death and resurrection, we now gratefully affirm death isn’t sovereign, you are. Sin didn’t triumph, you did. Our funeral doesn’t get the last word, you do. Jesus, you are the grace giver and grave robber. Death’s keys are in your hand, and so are we.

With the same hand you will wipe every tear out of eyes, reach into our painful stories of loss now. We still have questions, but we don’t question your goodness and faithfulness. Because the Gospel is true, to be absent from the body is to be present with you. Life is Christ and death is gain. Our mourning is for this brief, painful moment; but eternal joy will come in the morning. Thank you, and So Very Amen.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 HIM’s, 2 FNG’s from Monday had to be renamed due to replication, Otis is now Binks, and Shredder is now Rap Sheet

We have had consistent effort from a 2.0, thought it was time to give him a name, He liked Tarantula, so Tarantula it is.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Encouragement

The whole point of the bear crawl to glory was encouragement. We as brothers need to be constantly building each other up as men. We need to hold each other accountable. We need to be the men in the community that set the example of what it means to be a man, and there is no finer example than our AO motto.

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.”

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 ESV

MOLESKIN:
