COT:Beauty for ashes: the permanent opposition between a fallen world and the real hope of an eternal life can be sometimes hurting or heavy, however like two forces in different direction (AKA “isometrics”) is a situation God uses to make us stronger in faith.

… you give me beauty for ashes And you pull me close to your heart You have turned mourning to dancing… That’s what you do That’s who you are Brand new eyes, brand new hands You have wiped away my past Brand new day, brand new life You have pulled me from the lies
I’m no longer what I used to be I am stronger, because you live in me The old is gone, the new has come I’m alive!

THE THANG: Pax circled up for three rounds of ring of fire with PAX bear crawling around the circle as pacer. Two exercises per round, we alternated with each bear crawling Pax. They were: Merkins OMC/Body Weight Squats OMC; Plank Jacks IC/Bonnie Blairs OYO; Alternating Shoulder Tap IC/Jump Squats OMC. Before the third round we took a Thunderstruck break: high plank with a Merkin for every ‘Thunder’; high knees with a Burpee for every ‘Thunderstruck.’ We closed out with a game of Ultimate using a large bouncy soft awkward exercise ball. Burpee every time it hit the ground.
MARY: Worked in with exercises for each Ultimate score. LBC, Freddie Mercury, Toy Soldiers. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Happy Hour transitions to dive bar tour in July.
COT: We’re entering one of the two hardest times of year to post consistently: the swamp-like height of summer and the ice encrusted dead of mid-winter. Keep grinding and you get rewarded with nice cool perfect days like this every now and then.
