9 brave men searched for their gifts, strengths, and successes throughout Downtown Fort Mill this morning.  From the sounds of it – if you accept a dinner invite from Ginsu you also accept your fate of posting to The Fort the following morning.  One FNG found out dinner with Ginsu is not all beer bread spinach dip and a nice Cab.  We ran through the disclaimer and also asked the question – What do you see in the mirror?  If you’re like YHC you see your weaknesses, past sins, and past failures.  However, the #SkyQ sees your strengths, your gifts, and your past successes.  He knows everything about you yet He looks beyond the negative and finds the positive.  Imagine if you looked in the mirror and saw you as He sees you.  Imagine how that would change your day and the day of your loved ones.  The Pax were asked to think about their strengths as we embarked on this cool crisp morning.

Little baby jog to the Downtown Fort Mill parking lot.  Partner up – size does not matter.  Partner 1 run around lot through Downtown Fort Mill and then back.  Partner 2 does LBCs with your feet on the ground.  Flapjack.  Rinse Repeat with perfect merkins.  Flapjack.  Rinse Repeat with reverse crunches.  Flapjack.  Give me a 10-count or two.  Let’s Mosey.

Little baby jog to the field next to Veteran’s Park.  Or as it will be known today – The Field of Burpees.  Let’s do burpee broad jumps until you touch asphalt (going THIS direction, you knuckleheads).  Crowd Pleaser!!!!  More 10-counts.  Let’s Mosey.

Little baby jog to the back bank lot.  Let’s do 11’s with CDD’s at the top and squats at the bottom.  More 10-counts.  Let’s Mosey.

Little baby jog to the 160 lot where we started for some Mary.  Flutters, LBC’s with feet on the ground, Superman, More Flutters.  Jailbreak to COT.

NMMS:

That was some strong work men!  Great job by all and great job by FNG – Callsign Charlie!  Not an easy first post.  You gotta watch out for those Ginsu dinner invites.  We spent the post COT time debating how many pounds of muscle Peabody has put on since last year.  He blushed and guessed 25 at least.  Others were skeptical.  Thanks to Ginsu for leading siteQ at The Fort.  Always remember – ain’t no workout like a WEP workout.  Honored to lead.

Final takeaway – try to see yourself in a better light next time you look in the mirror.  Your family and friends see your best qualities.  He sees your strengths and successes.  Start to see you as He sees you and use that to make a difference in your home and community.  Aye!
