The Q separated a deck of cards into two groups. Number cards 2-9 and 10-Ace. 10 through Ace also had a red joker and a black horsehead joker. Each number card was assigned an exercise. The PAX would hold Al Gore while a card was pulled from each group. The exercise was determined by the 2-9 cards while the number of reps was determined by the 10-Ace deck. 10=10, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13, Ace=14, Red Joker=25, Horsehead=50.
Pax completed 3 exercises in a location and would then run 200 to 400 meters to the next exercise location. The PAX completed 6 stations while also running a 1/4 mile Indian run. The PAX finished at the original starting point with a CMU MARY that lasted 6 minutes until 6am arrived.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As we are continually bombarded with information concerning local, state, National and international news, we need to consider the following. How do we decide what we are going to believe. Are you getting the right wing perspective by watching Fox all day or are you swinging left by viewing MSNBC. Either way, you are not getting the truth. You are getting a slant of what the truth actually is. We as leaders of our families, and influencers of friends and co-workers have a responsibility to seek the truth before we make important decisions. How do we do this.
Lets take an example from a person that was making the most important decision that we will ever make. Was Jesus Christ the Son of God, a perfect sacrifice and our risen King or was he a fake, just a prophet or a guy who died and his body was stolen from the tomb by his disciples. Luke had to make this decision. Once he made his decision, he told his friend what he believed and why his friend (Theophilus) should also believe in Christ as the Savior of the world.
Luke 1: 1-4 reads Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write and orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
Luke had a decision to make and instead of blindly following a crowd, he researched everything he could to determine the truth about Jesus Christ. The eyewitness accounts, the story of the Roman guards losing the body to the disciples (a penalty of death), the apostles and other disciples losing their lives for the gospel. This lead him to make his decision concerning who Christ was and it lead him to follow Christ’s last command to spread the gospel throughout the world.
We need to also fully investigate who Jesus was and make the most important decision we can make for ourselves and also for our friends and family. But with that said, we need to use the same criterial for this decision as well as other decisions (political, moral, legal) to make sure we are finding out what is the complete truth so we can inform and lead others.
