I have apparently become predictable, at least as far as my “warm-ups” go. After a quick disclaimer the pax were ready to go…

10 burpees OYO

Mosey a quick loop of the parking lot with side shuffles up the lot, jog across the top, and karaokes back down.

Now that we were all warmed up…mosey to the fountain.

Today’s message: We were all given a gift at birth by our Creator. To be successful in life we cannot live in fear but rather we are to place our worries at the feet of our Lord and JUMP in. We are to be a light in this world and we each have been given the opportunity to be something great. While we may experience bumps along the way, our God will not let us fall. With that said…

The THANG:

Finding parking lines, the fun started.
60 seconds, front to back jumps over the line… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.
60 seconds, side-to-side jumps over the line… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.
60 seconds, box jumps to the benches… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.
60 seconds, bombjacks… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.
60 seconds, jumping lunges… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.
60 seconds, SSH IC… Mosey recovery to/around the two islands.

At some point disturbing mumble chatter about bowel movements ensued one-upping each other about their choice of intake…the clear winner: a dozen pizza rolls at 2am with ranch and hot sauce.

Mosey back to main parking area…
Contra burpee broadjumps – traverse the parking lot doing burpee broadjumps; the contra is with each broadjump the merkins increase by 1x…The counts ranged from 10-12x to reach the far side depending on your jumping abilities. Note: Dark Helmet hated it so much he promises to bring it to an AO near you. STAY AWAY…you have been warned.

Mosey to COT with 2 minutes of Mary to close out.

Announcements: BRR, Invergence, Ragnar, …read the newsletter – it came out last night!

Prayers / praises: There were a number of repeated praises and/or prayers answered for witnessing firsthand the development and maturing of our youth. We were reminded to get involved and be a leader not only to our children but all those around us such as the youth in our church, our community, etc. Jump in and be a shining light to the next generation. It is not only our job to try to make ourselves better men and leaders, but also to help the younger generation around us on that same journey. Aye!!

As always, it is an honor to serve! – Crash
