    • Birdie chose a long run around the parking lot. Once the adults were gassed, he tagged the wall, stopped, and started again. Then he handed it off to Hot Rod.
    • Hot Rod, another bundle of under 8 year old energy, chose 3 rounds of wind sprints. Hand off to Stang.
    • Bear crawl the length of the parking lot. Hand off to Solid State.
    • Bunny hop to the first line, lunge to the next. Shampoo. Run to the COT.

Today we took time to recognize the true meaning of Christmas – the birth of our Savior. Contrary to popular belief, Jesus” was actually born in March – which coincides with the Gospel descriptions of shepherds tending their flocks on the hillside. It wasn’t until the 4th century that the Romans changed the celebration to December 25, replacing the pagan holiday of Saturnia.
We all know the story of Christ’s birth. It has almost become second nature and we probably don’t give it much thought. But science now has evidence to support part of the story. In 1991, “The Quarterly Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society” (volume 32, pages 389-407) noted that Chinese astronomers had observed a long-tailed slow-moving comet in their skies during March of 5 BC. This sui-hsing, or “star,” hung in the Capricorn region for more than 70 days. This same comet would have been visible in the skies over Persia, home of the Magi, in the hours just before dawn. Due to the earth’s orbital motion, the comet’s light would have been directly in front of the Magi during their journey – hence they would have truly followed the star.
Let’s not forget that this isn’t just a Hallmark holiday or an excuse to get off work, but it is the celebration of our perfect God, brought to life in flesh, born of the virgin Mary in a sinful world, to live a sinless life, and to be the ultimate sacrifice for the atonement of our sins. We are a blessed people. Please take the time this holiday season to remember the true reason of the season.
We each took turns thanking our God for the blessings in our lives. Many men mentioned thanks for their families, friends, and health. Some lifted up others that have been dealt bad health news. We recognize that we have been given so much. I encourage you to be a blessing out of your blessings. Take time to be His hands and feet in this world. Do something special for someone else. Do what you know is right.
Overall, it was an awesome morning of Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. It was such an encouragement to see four 2.0s joining their daddies for a tough morning workout. Turbine, Catfish, and Bogey, you’re doing it right! Excellent mumble chatter and awesome fellowship at Panera following the workout.
Merry Christmas, men! Enjoy your off day tomorrow with family and friends.
