BOM
Together as a PAX, holding each other accountable, we are stronger together, arm in arm at BOM, at F2’s, stronger together being pushed versus doing cavework or fernwork telling yourself you can do one more set, one more lap, etc.  The men of our PAX help with that extra push to help us each get more fit physically and mentally.

9 PAX came out and did WORK on a muggy Tuesday afternoon. Great, spirited mumblechatter.

BOM
P-nut read from Daniel 3 and told the story of Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego. King Nebuchadnezzar threw them into the fiery furnace because of their faith in God and their refusal to worship any pagan gods. God took care of them and didn’t allow them to be harmed in the fire. P-nut reminded the PAX that God still protects us today from hardship and strife- if we submit AND commit to Him.

P-nut took prayer requests, including Hooker’s uncle and prayers of praise for P-nut’s son, JT (ankle healing).

MOLESKIN
The PAX came ready to sweat. Proton and Woodshack arrived in similar antique Jeeps and matching F3 shirts. The other 7 members of the PAX were instantly reminded that they were in the presence of the West Knoxville “cool kids.” I think that they called one another to match vehicles and outfits.

God loves you and I do too.

THE THANG
COP

Run down and back in the parking lot 3 times.

The PAX formed one line for a Hallelujah Indian Run. This is an Indian Run completed with hands raised above the head.

Once in far field the PAX circled up for a Merican Ring of Fire.

Merkin Ring of Fire
The exercise begin with a clockwise bear crawl until the Q stopped the PAX. Typically this was halfway around the circle.

At halt, the PAX would complete a standard merican Ring of Fire. One PAX would knock out 10 Mericans while the remain PAX would count for him while holding a plank. This would continue around the cirlce until the entire PAX had completed 10 mericans

The PAX completed 2 more rounds of bear crawls with Werkins (wide grip mericans) and Diamond mericans in between.

The PAX completed 5 Dive Bomers

The PAX formed two lines for another Hallelujah Indian Run back to the AO. They retrieved two coupons on the way back.  Back at the AO, the PAX again circled up to prepare for a Squat Ring of Fire

Squat Ring of Fire
The PAX started by lunging counter clockwise.

At the Q’s leading the PAX stopped for a round of Jump Squats. Each PAX did 10 Jump Squats while the remaining PAX cheered him while holding an Al Gore.

Another round of lunging was completed followed by a Star Jump Ring of Fire.

Abs
PAX laid on his back on the ground. His arms were extended over his head to grab the 2 coupons. With straight arms the coupons were extended over the body to the waist at a slow pace focusing on stabilizing with the core.

Quickbooks brought to light inconsistency in his life. The effects of his own striving in every corner of his life.

Quickbooks encouraged us to seek the Lord while he can be found and to fully surrender to the Lord. Fight for Steadfast faithfulness and lean on each other.

Welcomed and named three new FNG’s…Snapper, Dirt Bag and Cash Back.

BOM
P-nut thanked everyone for coming out into the gloom. Read from 1 Thessalonians 5 and talked about how we can be the “light” and how to avoid “darkness.” Good things happen in the light, and we need to be the light in our homes, community and workplaces.

P-nut prayed us out.

MOLESKIN
The PAX came ready to burn some goo….and the goo was burned. Great mumblechatter and spirit from the PAX.
