People’s Choice

THE SCENE: Balmy!
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Tie Fighters, claps, squats
THA-THANG:

As Kasey Kasem used to say “The numbers keep getting smaller, and the hits keep getting bigger.”

So we did Kasey’s Kloud Kountdown: Box/Baby/Box + Table Rows, 20-15-10-5

I wasn’t going to bring Jack Webb into this, but Hands insisted, so we did.

After carefully scrutinizing the results of the F3 People’s Choice Poll, it was obvious that we haven’t visited Cardiac nearly enough, and so our duty to each other was clear.

All the way up Cardiac, dips at the top, merkins at the cone, squats at the bend, and flutters at the bottom. 20-15-10.

The results of Q’s attempt to comply with the Q/phone mandate were mixed: I brought it with me to the cloud, but I left it there. So we moseyed back to get it, then arrived at AO with juuuust enough time to finish off whatever we had left in our shoulders with some ATM.

My bom was interrupted by two skunks doing what two skunks do when they are married and love each other very much.  Basically, the BOM was that we all have a purpose that God has laid out for us.  So live with purpose and pursue your creator.

PAX got their funk on.
Starting in Al Gore, we listened to James Brown – Sex Machine with a reverse squat on every ‘Get Up’.  We took it to the bridge and switched it up for Plank with Merkins then moved onto a low plank and did pickle pounders when required to “shake your money maker”.  Once warmed, we went ahead, hit it and quit.

Sir David Brailsford revolutionized the UK cycling by making them focus on Marginal Gains.  Big changes are hard.  Instead, look for lots of small change that you can compound over time to make change a process.

Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

The word that stuck with me here is reasonableness. Today it seems like that’s getting more and more rare. Whether it’s COVID-related stuff or the political climate, it’s becoming more and more common that people’s responses are simply unreasonable. There are ways of expressing convictions reasonably while at the same time not compromising. That’s what we’re called to do – As much as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
MOLESKIN:
No cardboard Weinke today… No lack of cardboard at the Waxjob house though. Sometimes it’s inspiration that’s a bit lacking. Thanks everyone for stepping up and filling in the Q gaps!
