Announcement…New Site Q! Headspin!!!, Yeager CSAUP, read newsletter
Prayers/praises: heath of Pax/Sawdust’s elbow, Grassy’s M, others I’m forgetting
YHC Started this journey as a site Q on September 30, 2020 at RPG. Took over at Varsity October 22, 2021. It has been an honor and a blessing to carry the shovel flag at both sites and I’m privileged to find a new site Q for Varsity.
I think the lineage for the site started with Skate, then Kielbasa, Harry Carry (I’ve been told) made it great again and Splinter was who handed it to me.
I’m looking forward to whatever Headspin wants to do at the site in the future!
8 enjoyed a beat down on the football field at Ballroom. The buckets of running pain were back and the pax selected random runs from the assortment of options available such as 20 yard sprints, 50 yard runs, 100 yard runs, and just a few, very few, mall walk options. But mostly an opportunity to get in just under 2 miles worth.
Great fellowship and good to see Who Dat back out clown carring with Cubbie.
Prayers for Triple Lindy and his health concerns as well as some family health issues. Prayers for Poppins family situation, for peace and comfort.

COT:
For those of us that pray before a meal, what do you pray for?
Do you pray in thanksgiving asking your consumption be blessed with nourishment? Did you do your best to provide yourself and others you feed with nourishment? Is the meal a source of comfort and that’s what you are hoping the meal be blessed with? Be intentional.
Thought two: Pick something that you do every day that you can take for granted. Pray before you do it, like you would for a meal. Be thankful and use the resources presented to you with intention.
THE THANG:
We played a round of Uno with the following guidelines
Blue – Merkins
Green – LBC

5 men showed up at The Yard on a cold ,breezy morning. Warm-ups started at the basketball courts with SSHs, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Squats, and MNCs.
Next, we honored MLK with 15 burpees for his age when he entered college. He was only 39 years old when he passed away. I read his heart was in the condition of a 60 year old, mostly due to stress (he was also a smoker). Next, we moseyed to the back parking lot for a round of DORA (Merkins, Squats, LBCs). More MLK facts, over 700 streets, parks are named after this great man. He also made over 1500 speeches over his lifetime. Back to the basketball courts, dips on the wall, lunge walk to the basketball goal, reverse lunge walk to the foul line for 10 Bobby Hurleys (NC State graduate according to Boogie Down). We completed three round before time was up.
Back to COT.
MLK was an amazing man. We each have an opportunity to make an impact in this world, more importantly, in our community. We just need to take a step forward and act.
