Thank You Baby Farley for your Thursday night text asking me what I planned to do with my Flood Zone Q tomorrow…..except for your text I would have arrived expecting the participate as a PAX…not lead as Q. Since YHC needs time to walk out the AO and plan, I had to fall back on an Oldie but Goodie…first introduced 4 years ago by Sir Bob Villa.
PAX arrived, we did some warmups….were serenaded by YHC’s ever present dog Beau, and to the top deck of Crabtree for……POKER! Suits brought out the following exercises…NOTE: YHC called Overdraft, Life Alert, Garden Hoe and I think Layover for the following exercises which were tied to the four suits….Thank You Overdraft for your pick of Burpees:
- Burpees
- WWII Situps
- Merkins
- Box Cutters
With 30 plus PAX showing we didn’t make it to the end of the PAX. Fellowship Run down the ramps with Backward Bear Crawls performed on the ramps…to the COT spot. Layover led one round of Mary, YHC finished with American Hammers. Raleigh Nantan Life Alert brought up by law 8Cii-53 of “Don’ Q it if Au Pair can’t do it” so we stopped at 27 hammers.
Per Katahdyn our workout gave us: 850 calories burned, 2.6 miles, average heart rate 150
Prayer Requests for Rain Man, Overdraft’s Dad and Oswald’s Son.
Baby Farley Prayed us out Strong

Out Of The Wreck I Rise
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? — Romans 8:35
God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says – “I will be with him in trouble.” It does not matter what actual troubles in the most extreme form get hold of a man’s life, not one of them can separate him from his relationship to God. We are “more than conquerors in all these things.” Paul is not talking of imaginary things, but of things that are desperately actual; and he says we are super-victors in the midst of them, not by our ingenuity, or by our courage, or by anything other than the fact that not one of them affects our relationship to God in Jesus Christ. Rightly or wrongly, we are where we are, exactly in the condition we are in. I am sorry for the Christian who has not something in his circumstances he wishes was not there.
“Shall tribulation . . . ?” Tribulation is never a noble thing; but let tribulation be what it may – exhausting, galling, fatiguing, it is not able to separate us from the love of God. Never let cares or tribulations separate you from the fact that God loves you.
“Shall anguish . . . ?” – can God’s love hold when everything says that His love is a lie, and that there is no such thing as justice?
“Shall famine . . . ?” – can we not only believe in the love of God but be more than conquerors, even while we are being starved?
Either Jesus Christ is a deceiver and Paul is deluded, or some extraordinary thing happens to a man who holds on to the love of God when the odds are all against God’s character. Logic is silenced in the face of every one of these things. Only one thing can account for it – the love of God in Christ Jesus. “Out of the wreck I rise” every time.
