BALL BEARINGS……where we have modern examples post who confirm the prior existance of cro magnon man. I do love my mouth breathin-knuckle dragging neanderthal Brothers though, and wanted to Q this pre-historic workout site….so with Red Card’s Blessings here is how it went.
Last weekend’s two classic events (BRR and F3 9/11 Stairclimb) had Coutrywide wisely asking for some good leg stretching so we started our warmups with Mountain Climbers, then go to YHC’s established workout:
WARMUP
- 20 Burpees to get the heart pumping
- 10 forward and reverse Sir Nigel Octavius Metamucil Fazio Armcircles
- 15 Imperial Walkers
- 10 Windmills
The THANG
Pulled this exercise from a sister city’s BB (can’t remember which) and believe it can be used again so thought it best to assign it a name. Being that it quickly becomes a big “pain in the arse”, AU PAIR seemed a good name.
THE AU PAIR
- 10 burpees, then 10 squats, then 10 merkins and a lap around the soccer field. This was rinse and repeat descending each lap 9-8-7 and all the way to 1.
THE Ménage a’ tois
- Break into groups of 3, with member 1 and 2 doing a partner-carry, while member #3 did 5 burpees. Go fast as possible to end of soccer field then return. 2nd round the odd partner out performed 7 Merkins. 3rd Round the odd partner performed 5 Star Jumps.
MARY
- BLTs/LBCs x 30
- Box Cutters x 20
- American Hammers x 15
- Windshield Wipers x 10
ANNOUNCEMENTS
- F3 Royalty “Crotch Rockett” posted at BB and asked for help from the PAX in volunteering to help Q new F3 city starts that are coming online at a very fast rate. Big BLESSING is F3’s growth, and the need for PAX to step up to help here will keep this growth happening successfully. Suggest you contact Chong Li, Maize, Wendell Gee or White Shoe as to how to best contact F3 NAtion Leadership to put your name in the hat to help here.
- Post at Healing Transitions Friday’s 2:30. The BLESSING here goes both ways.
- Money Hose challenged the PAX who attended BB to post Thursday at General Assembly and Friday at Fight Club (5:15 Fletcher). Performing this Triple will afford you a prize from Mr. Hose…by attending McDonalds after Friday’s posting at Fight Club.
The following Devotion from C.S. Lewis was read and Baby Farley Prayed us out in a strong way. Appreciate the BB guys letting YHC mingle with you this morning.
MY ONLY REAL TREASURE
I AM not arguing that pain is not painful. Pain hurts. That is what the word means. I am only trying to show that the old Christian doctrine of being made “perfect through suffering” is not incredible. To prove it palatable is beyond my design….
My own experience is something like this. I am progressing along the path of life in my ordinary contentedly fallen and godless condition, absorbed in a merry meeting with my friends for the morrow or a bit of word that tickles my vanity today, a holiday or a new book, when suddenly a stab of abdominal pain that threatens serious disease, or a headline in the newspapers that threatens us all with destruction, sends this whole pack of cards tumbling down. At first I am overwhelmed, and all my little happinesses look like broken toys. Then, slowly and reluctantly, bit by bit, I try to bring myself into the frame of mind that I should be in at all times. I remind myself that all these toys were never intended to possess my heart, that my true good is in another world and my only real treasure is Christ. And perhaps, by God’s grace, I succeed, and for a day or two become a creature consciously dependent on God and drawing its strength from the right sources. But the moment the threat is withdrawn, my whole nature leaps back to the toys….. thus the terrible necessity of tribulation is only too clear. God has had me for but forty-eight hours and then only by dint of taking everything else away from me.
