10 PAX, including YHC, chose to begin their week with a mixture of pain, burn, and sweatin’. The 50-something degree temperature made it feel like a morning in mid-May…can’t argue with that. YHC woke up with what he feared might be a stomach bug, and he warned his fellow PAX of his potential demise. After both this and the normal disclaimer, the group was off on a Q inspired by Matthew 6:22.

At the beginning of The Thang I informed the PAX that the workout was inspired by Matthew 6:22. I shared that verse, as well as the following verse, during COT:
“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is unhealthy your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!”
This is one of many lessons that Jesus spoke during his Sermon on the Mount, and it’s one that drew my attention due to the visual correlation between “light” that we see F3 bring into the literal darkness of the Gloom. My take on this particular scripture is that the eye is the metaphorical “window” into our soul, and at the same time what guides us through each day. When we focus our eye, if our lens and reaction is of a generous and God-filled spirit, then we are filled with the light of God. This light then radiates to those we encounter.
