Once at start, teams switch items and repeat until all three teams have carried all three items. Once complete, all teams run to cones and do 10 Merkin (3 times) and Cobra Kais (3 times).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Prayer and worship. Spoke to the packs about prayer not being some grand rehearsed spectacular thing, but rather a communication with our father. It’s not for others but for him. Same with worship, we don’t need to worry about how good our voice sounds or who hears us and what they may think. We just need to worship our father.
MOLESKIN:
So last night was one of the worst nights of sleep I’ve had in a while. Not showing up was not going to be an option. Glad I did. I need to make it out more often, but the bed feels so good in the morning. I have this memory foam pillow and it’s so nice. I probably should give it a name. We have a memory foam mattress pad to. It’s pretty awesome. I don’t think I should give it a name. Our blankets are regular type blankets but are very comfortable. Although last night none of this helped me. It was a bit hot in my room last night because we forgot to turn the air down. That sucks. I went out and slept in the living room and it was too cold because there’s two vents in that room. I felt like Goldilocks I was looking for baby bears bed, but sadly there was no baby bear bed, so I went back to the big bears bed in my room and it was cooler then so I might have slept 15 to 20 minutes. I was thirsty so I got something to drink, not beer. I did fall asleep for a little bit after that and remember dreaming about beating people up that were bullies. I mean like really beating them up. One of them I remember throwing over a fence when I was done with him. They kept coming back with more of their friends to try and beat me to no avail. I kind of felt bad when I woke up. Do you have  dreams like that? I like dreams. Dreams are fun. I like to have fun. Do you like to have fun? You know what’s funny? Monkeys are funny. They throw their poop sometimes. I hope those of you that are reading this are wondering what the heck is he talking about, did he come off his meds or something? Then again I don’t think anybody reads this. If you are reading this, I’m not off my meds, I don’t even take meds…well sometimes ibuprofen. Anyway, if you are still reading this then put a monkey emoji under the post on slack. Then you will be in the secret society of people that read Tank’s backblasts and I will send you a decoder pin in the mail telling you to drink more Ovaltine. Till then, have a wonderful day my brothers

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

For those who have attended my Q’s in the past, you know that I go one of two ways. Thoughtful, well-researched, and readout of my notebook WORDs, and those that come to me randomly. This morning I want to talk about patience. BACKGROUND: I spent several hours on the phone with two cell phone providers trying to figure out why my M’s phone was shut off and why another canceled my order for new SIM cards for her and my 2.0s. Patience was needed. Not just for the customer service reps, but also with my wife when I informed her that we had to change the phone number she’s had for half a decade. 

While I was indeed frustrated and running out of patience, I knew that I needed to remain a calming presence while she dealt with this fact. I made sure to talk calmly and not put my own frustrations of the past 4 hours on the phone on her. It wouldn’t be fair to her and would not help the situation AT ALL. The lack of patience can infect your life, your family, your job, everything. Be mindful of how your attitude and frustrations affect those that mean the most in your life.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Picked up the Q Source for some inspiration. The last section in the QS is all about growing an effective Lizard Organization. A couple of key notes are: Effective Organizations are built through Relationships – Not Rules. A Man who is Freed to Lead only needs Purpose to drive him forward. Too many rules are like shackles. Q Source gave the example of how Jesus was the original model of a Lizard Organization. In Matthew you can read about Jesus’ 2 Commandments that he gave. (Paraphrasing) Love the Lord God with all of your Heart, your Soul & Mind. 2nd – Love your neighbor as yourself. Matt 22:34-40

Driving to Coffeeteria I realized that I missed the opportunity to talk about reflection in our organization. AKA our family unit. Are we building our family unit through relationship or through rules? Is our family purpose so big and clear that our M’s & 2.0’s are “Freed to Lead”? Or do we just have rules? The next circle would be our job or place of employment. Although we may not be able to affect change from the top down in our work organizations, we can vow to maximize relationships where we’re at. We can create and grow healthy relationships with our co-workers and team.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

MOLESKIN:

THA-THANG:
End up at field 1. Partner up

game 1: shuffle passing: line up with two teammates facing each other 10’ apart. Side shuffle from the midline to the goal line and back while passing the ball back and forth. Then do bounce pass back and forth, then do crossovers passing and bouncing. You cannot hold the ball more than two seconds. If it’s dropped, you must do 5 burpees and resume where the ball hit the ground.

Game 2: circle of burpees. Two teams-one on each side of circle.  Bounce or throw the ball to someone across the circle from you and do a burpee. Hot potato fashion.

mosey to the outhouse: partner up. One dribbles the ball up the parking lot and does 5 burpees, other stays and does easy ups, incline merks, BBS, squats. Go till both partners finish all exercises

mosey back to field one.

Game 3: plank red rover. All plank around the circle on your teams side. Hit ball with your fist towards a gap in the circle on the other side. Players try to stop it from going through the circle while keeping plank/bear crawl. After hitting the ball do a merkin. If it gets past, whole team does 10 Merkins

Game 5: kick and fetch- player from each team kicks a ball for the other team to chase it. They sprint it down and mosey to other side with it. Everyone cycles through.

game 6 was goalie kicks. Teams have each player kick against a goalie. If blocked or missed, 10 burpees. If it goes in the goalies team does 5 burpees. (We missed a lot)
