QIC: @Obadiah
The PAX: @MajPayne, @Fairweather, @Buggy, @Citrus, @Trolley, @Traveler, @Toolbox, @SubPrime, @PreNup
Warm-up: SSH, cherry pickers, 40 jumping squats, 40 BWS, some down and slow up Merkins. 1/2 mile fellowship jog.

The Thang: the Q brought along with him 3 15 foot 1 1/4 inch PVC Pipe for teams of 3,3,4. This was used for jumping over, high reach, and get low rounds of roughly 100 yards. 2 PaX would hold ends and third (and fourth) would leap over or shimmy under.

The “get low” round was a crowd favorite with PAX having to progress from a run to a shuffle to a bear crawl to a crawl with the pipe overhead.

The Main event: in the circle two PAX in bear crawl position grabbed opposite ends of the pipe and proceeded to try and take it from the opposing PAX.

Mary: LBCs, @Toolbox low plank concoction, more slow rise/fall Merkins, penguins, Freddy Mercuries

CoT: teachability is undervalued today. Jeremiah 36 tells the tale of Jehoiakim and keenly refers to his father Josiah in the telling of two vastly different responses to correction in the form of unraveled scrolls. One chose humility and fear and was honored and raised up and the other chose pride and self righteousness and was brought low and torn to pieces. Be teachable. Be willing to be corrected and rebuked. Properly ordered, from that posture you can do great things.

CoT

It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.
Like a city that is broken into and without walls
So is a person who has no self-control over his spirit.

COT: In the face of adversity and when we want to quit or it just seems stupid to keep going (especially when you Q had you running around town against all that is in you) resiliency pays out as God created you for more. Pushing past what the world tells us we can’t do, should t do, or when you minds says this is just pointless…keep pushing. We His salt and light for this world.

Aye!
