Padre thought he heard a train whistle blowing…

In case you are not aware, a rule at “Old Town” is when you hear a train whistle blow, you stop whatever you are doing and do 10 Burpees (shout out to the Greer, SC F3 Boys for that idea). So we began our deal with what he thought he heard in his head – 10 Burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Garage:

Apparently Padre thought he heard a lot of whistle blowing: Burpee Broad Jumps from bottom of the garage to top (Chaser said it was burpee broads for a quarter of a mile up hill). I believe it!

At top introduce the idea: “Humility”  Thought is if you say you are humble you are probably not.

Mosey to the Fountain:

100 Merkins (partner runs to other side and switch)

200 Squats

Mosey to the Amphitheater

Continue to the thought of “Humility.” Padre challenged the guys to think of humility in regards to “identity.”  As men, it is our “identity” wrapped up solely in what we “do.” True humility does not have to tell others what we “do” for a living.

Final Thought on Humility.  Padre stated that he is overwhelmed with Jesus being more powerful than what he can comprehend and yet He humbled himself and put on “human clothes.” Padre also tried to affirm the guys who come out week after week, day after day. He confessed that he has tendencies at times to think he is better than he actually is. He stated that the guys keep him humble and make him desire to get better.

This whole backblast are Padre’s words transcribed. But I wanted to add a final thought. Men of Rock Hill and Fort Mill, I’m proud of you. Every day you get up and push the covers to the side, wipe the sleep from your eyes, and attack the day with such ferocity that the devil himself thinks, “Oh crap, they’re up again!” You men inspire me to be a better dad, husband, brother, employee, and friend. Thanks for the constant reminder of what a real man is – one that prioritizes what truly matters. You guys ROCK and I’m proud to call you my brothers in Christ!
