Part 2 – Blimps at the light poles

At each pole pax added an exercise on the way up and dropped one on the way down. Burpees were never dropped – just because

15 – Incline Merkins

Two lessons from Seneca shared at the top of the hill

1 – we suffer more in our imagination than in reality

2 – he who suffers before it is necessary suffers more than is necessary.

How often in our lives do we let our perception of events influence us poorly? Our response is all we control – the event doesn’t care how we feel about it.

After 11 light poles worth of “fun”……back to COT

MARY: Just enough time for protractors and rosalitas with just a few hello dolly’s. That took pax to 0715
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter

Failure is where the story begins

WARMUP: the usual suspects
THE THANG: Jack Webb’s at the benches with step ups and Bulgarian split squats (4rounds) and then at the playground with merkins and pull-ups (7 rounds)

So as Rainmaker asked during the workout I started my story or testimonial with sharing about my childhood. I grew up with a single mother only child and although I went to Christian schools thanks to my mom, as I got older I started living a double life and got involved with the wrong people and wrong activities, but all the while I still went to church, had a job was going to college doing all those things yet living for myself, letting my jesters have their way and not taking care of myself.

However! God still had a plan for me! and as I got older, even though I got into some trouble, he looked out for me. I found myself with a career at a company that I was able to grow with and learned a lot, and at a certain point got sick of trying to do it all on my own and gave my life back to the Lord…and His infinite grace He blessed us with kids and a career, a business in a new community, of course a great brotherhood with F3 and many other blessings!!

so even though I failed and I continue to fail, God still redeems and uses the broken and I’m a testimony to that. We finished with a discussion on dying to the flesh daily, repentance and how to live third!
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read newsletter
COT: had to dip early so wasn’t there for that!
