THA-THANG:
Mosey out of the start pavilion and around the sidewalk to the next pavilion.  The ground had been turned into a mudhole between the sidewalk, so we moseyed past to the next pavilion (not the only audible this morning).  I told the PAX that we have four pavilion stations, each with three exercises of the same structure (initially 20 reps first exercise, 15 reps of the second exercise, 10 reps of the third exercise).  They got to pick how many rounds of each we did, without knowing the exercises.  The fun part is they could choose 3,4,5 or 6 rounds but once you use a number, you can no longer use it.  So they are choosing blindly on how many rounds we do.

Pavilion 1 (PAX chose 6 rounds):

  • Dips x20
  • Decline merkins x15
  • Four count (HR) merkins x10

This proved to be a huge mistake on my part, so after three rounds of that, Q called an audible.  10 reps of each exercise to finish the final three rounds.  Finish and mosey around the sidewalk to the pavilion beside the Lion’s Club building.

Pavilion 2 (PAX chose four rounds):

  • Calf raises x10
  • Lunges x10 (each leg)
  • Bulgarian split squats x10 (each leg)

Mosey out of the pavilion onto the sidewalk and back (tables were set up differently at each pavilion and this one was better).

Pavilion 3 (PAX chose 5 rounds):

  • Carolina dry docks x10
  • Table rows x10
  • Single arm pulls on the poles x10 (each arm)

No time to mosey, just stayed put for round four.

Pavilion 4 (PAX were left with 3 rounds):

  • Smurf jacks x10
  • Plank jacks x10
  • Burpees x5

That was enough to use up the time, no Mary today.

Reused my word from yesterday, a C.S. Lewis quote:
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”

Again, just shows how much people tend to worry about the truths in their lives.  Just stress to live by your word, be true to each other and maybe even more importantly be true to yourself.

Use the TAGS on right-side to record PAX (BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOURSELF) in attendance. Be sure to select the AO in CATEGORY above TAGS and then delete these notes!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The coupons represented our sin.  We are all sinners, no one is better than anyone else because we all need a savior.  Jesus came to take our “coupons” sin and died on the cross to cleanse us from our sin.  It’s a free gift and all we have to do is accept that free gift from God by confessing our sin and believing that Jesus paid the price for our sin.

MAX DEPREE – LEADING WITHOUT POWER

 

“NO QUESTION ABOUT IT: POTENTIAL IS WRAPPED IN GREAT MYSTERY. LIKE RAINBOWS, WHICH ARE REALLY CIRCLES – WE ONLY SEE THE UPPER HALVES, THE HORIZON HIDES THE REST – POTENTIAL NEVER REVEALS ITS ENTIRETY. PEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER TO WORK WITH FOLKS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES DO THEIR JOBS AND MOVE AHEAD WHETHER THEY HAVE THE ANSWERS OR NOT. THEY LEARN TO WORK EXPECTANTLY AND PATIENTLY WITH THE MYSTERY OF POTENTIAL.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Although “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas”, it’s actually Advent. Historically this was a time in which the Church would wait in expectation for the arrival of the Messiah through the birth of Christ. This was also a time of mourning and hypothetical reflection on the thought of what would life be like and who are we without a savior and without the grace of God. I encouraged us all to take a moment this holiday season to disengage from the food, music, parties and lights to re-engage with an ancient tradition of waiting in expectation for the coming King
