COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Talked about our plans vs God’s and how we often make our plans without him or without prayer.  We ask him to bless the plans we came up with.  Instead, we need to realize what God has planned for us is far better than anything we could ever come up with for ourselves.  We make it too difficult.  All he’s asking us to do today is love him and love the person in front of us.

Drexler is the new Barkley?

THE SCENE: Mid-60s, post-rain, really nice!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
The Q was late, so Hot Tub got us started with SSHs, Q arrived in time to throw in some Cherry Pickers.  Time to Mosey
THA-THANG:
It’s the Barkley.  But with 25s at each station, so I guess that makes it the Drexler, although there was this whole Slack back and forth that led to that.  Trust me, you just had to be there.

 

So, the Barkley is the circumnavigation of the top of Everest, the Colosseum, and the the Asylum building.  There are 4 stations to check in:

  • Station 1: 25s of Merkins and Big Boys;
  • Station 2: 25s of Calf Raises and LBCs (4 count for each);
  • Station 3: 25s of Carolina Dry Docks and Amer. Hammers (4 ct)
  • Station 4: 25s of flutters (4 ct) and squats

Complete as many laps as possible. (2-3)

MARY:
None today.  Ran out of time.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Grief has been on my mind lately.  We all grieve. We grieve the loss of a loved one, the loss of friendships, the loss of a marriage, a job, a pet, activities or function from injury.  The list goes on.  If we don’t deal with it, it will deal with us.  It will get out and cause damage.  For me, I get angry at people I love for no reason.  Rely on God to help, reach out your brothers in the Pax, to loved ones.  Exercise the body, the spirit, and the mind.  Don’t let grief take hold of you.  Hat-tip to Omaha for the verse for the day: 2 Corithians 12:9-10

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Where are your thoughs pinned? When everything goes slack, when you have downtime, when you’re pumping gas or driving the kids to school, where does your mind go? Train your mind’s muscle memory to go back to the things mentioned above.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
It’s easy to get into a workout and make it about us.  How hard it is for us.  To think about ourselves.  We do it too often.  Encouraged each brother to look outside of themselves.  To reach out to another brother today.  To check in.  To say they had their 6.
