THE THANG –

Since at #Petra we use the parking lot in front of the Catawba Bingo hall I figured we should have a beat down bingo game. The following exercises were written on a scrap of paper, in a bag, chosen by the #PAX who were present.  These were picked in no certain order, however not all were chosen.

• B – BURPEES – 10
• B – BULLFROG MERKINS – 15 (FYI – BF Merkins are basically half a burpee)
• B – Bomb Jacks – 10
• B – BEAR CRAWL – 2 Parking Rows

• G – Al Gore – 30 secs. (squat position pretend to hug a tree)
• G – Gut Busters – 15
• O – OVER HEAD PRESS – 30
• O – One Leg Squat – 20 (10 – each leg)
• O – X’s & O’s – 10 (like a big boy sit up, arms & legs out in an X – O sit up ball up Q calls out X – O) ((Luckily due to the rain and how terrible this sounds I remember no one drew this one))
• FREE – Run a lap around the entire parking lot
• FREE – Run a lap around the entire parking lot
• FREE – Run a lap around the entire parking lot

After one of the “FREE” runs we stopped to reflect on the Mark 4:35-41 where Jesus calmed the storm.  The rain this morning was nothing compared to the storm the disciples faced that day. However, knowing that Jesus woke up from sleeping and simply yelled “Quiet! Be still!” and the storm was gone, we can have faith that Jesus can calm any ‘storm’ we are going through in life.

Side quote: “You will not be the same after the storms of life. You will be stronger, wiser & more alive than ever before.”
