Bushwood from Tennis Courts to Grassy Knoll

We had 8 at Bushwood for a morning that we talked about purpose… God’s purpose for our lives and how our purpose intersects with occupation (or if it does).

Warm up

Mosey to Tennis Courts for three rounds of

  • Derkins
  • Dips
  • Step ups

with a run in between

Mosey to the back wall to pass the coupon while the Pax performs wall sits and the mode of transportation is either a bear crawl or lunge walk

Final round was 7s with Bobby Hurley’s at the top of the hill and Donkey Kicks at the bottom.  The mode of transportation was bear crawls up and crawl bears down the hill.

Thank you for the fellow-ship and the opportunity to lead!

Bubble about to burst?

The buckets of pain made a return to the Bub, with YHC and The Twister participating. It was a repeat of a few weeks ago, when YHC and The Twister were also then the only Pax available to participate.

The mumblechatter was as equally satisfactory as before. We chose the pain from each of three buckets spread about and there was sweat. I’d like to thank The Twister for the opportunity.

Miles and smiles

THE THANG: Took a left on 160 to WEP. Looped around the park and back. I had 3.25 miles on the watch but started it late so it was probably a little over that

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sofrito is like a living version of the newsletter. He listed off more items than I knew we had! He did notably forget the Christmas party though…

COT: Pray for kids/teacher/parents as the school year starts and also everyone in the labor market as the economy waivers.

YHC was not paying attention to the time and was called out on it so I Omaha what we were doing and headed to COT.

COT & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Notably we held CSPAN style discussion around the circle on what are we struggling with. It’s important to note that as we went around with each Pax’s voicing their struggles we all related to every one of those aspects. Guys we are not alone and it’s much easier to go this journey through life is undoubtedly more manageable when we stand together rather than facing it in isolation.” I implore you to be more vulnerable in COT. Prayers and Praises.
