Joker’s Wild at the Big Ball

THE SCENE: Temperature around 68 with a slight drizzle.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER


WARM-O-RAMA:
A few side straddle hops, couple of cherry pickers, BIG arm circles, overhead claps, and front side claps.

THA-THANG:
We took a little mosey to the amphitheater to get out of the wet.  We discovered a pack of playing cards and a dry erase board set out on the stage.  Dry Erase board had this written on it…

  • Hearts – Burpees
  • Clubs – Merkins
  • Diamond – Odd – Dips / Even – Derkins
  • Spades – Squats
  • Aces – Sprint the stairs 5 times
  • Jokers – WILD

We spread the cards out, face down…then flipped them over and followed the commands . Example – 5 of Hearts – 5 Burpees; Queen of Clubs – 10 Merkins.

This totals up to 84 of each rep.  Joker #1 – 25 “My People” by G6; Joker #2 – 8 Bodybuilders by Amazon

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Temptation…it gets to all of us.  Key is to try to not not focus on the temptation…that only makes your brain think about it more. Rather, you should replace the temptation with a positive thought.  Temptation can drive your emotion, which drives your thoughts, which drives your actions, which determine who you are.

Discussed the importance of focusing on one thing and doing it well rather than multi-tasking as it pulls attention away and it’s difficult to get momentum generated. “Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.” Ron Swanson

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Run wild. To risk everything. To hold nothing back.
To lay it all on the line: your reputation, your success, your comfort.
It’s that moment when fear is overcome by faith. Live free.
It’s not the liberty to do whatever you want whenever and wherever you want,
But rather it’s living in accordance with the author of humanity
And finding freedom by connecting with the creator who conceived you.
Let the light flood into your eyes for the first time.
Feeling the blood course through your veins, finding the truest version of yourself
By knowing the one who knows you even better than you know yourself.
Love strong. Because you were first loved. Because without love we all perish.
Because the earth and the stars can and will pass away, but love, love will always remain.

from”Oh God Forgive Us” by For King and Country
