THE THANG: The PAX broke into 4 groups. At each stop, each group did an exercise. One was a timer, and we rotated until all groups did all of the four exercises.

We moseyed to the Hill for Stop 1, doing a few burpees along the way. Exercises were: merkins, BWS, big boy sit ups, timer was bernie to the top of the hill and run back down.

Stop 2 at the Arena. Exercises were balls to the wall, step ups, and dips. Timer was broad jump and run a half lap around the arena x2.

Stop 3 at the b’ball court. Exercises were WWIs, crab-taps, penguin crunches, timer was bear crawl the length of the court x2.

Stop 4 at the field. Exercises were shoulder taps, monkey humpers, mountain climbers, and the timer was duck walk to the 30 and mosey back.

MARY: fake bat wings, absolutions, flutter kicks

ANNOUNCEMENTS: none(!?)

COT: A repeat. The Q repeated a quote from a book about meditation that he’s never read. Not being lost is about more than getting back to where you started. It’s about not being lost wherever you are. It’s about being in the woods and telling yourself, I’m not lost, I’m right here. For the Q, this didn’t ring true for just anyone. If you aren’t prepared, you’ll get lost and you’ll feel lost. You have to train physically and mentally. This is why we do hard things. We post in the gloom and we do CSAUPs. It keeps you physically strong, and mentally and emotionally strong, and it builds your social net to lean on when you need help. In other words, it prepares you for adversity. So when you’re lost in the woods, you can say, “I’m not lost. I’m right here.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Grunt is coming! Veterans Day

COT: YHC read the following scripture this morning: “Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.” ‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬ ‭

The scripture does not say look to His hand, but instead seek His face always. I find that I often ask God for what I want — seeking his hand — instead of truly seeking Him and asking that He work through me to accomplish His will — seeking His face in me. It reminds me that while all things are possible through God, they don’t usually come to be as we think they might. God operates in His time and He sees the bigger picture. Keeping that in mind helps me to keep my faith and continue walking in His path. When things are not going according to your plans — or prayers — remember to seek His face and understand that there is a bigger plan in play.

Aye!

COT:
I was looking at some images from the war ravaged parts of Israel and Palestine… children covered in dust as their redoing mothers carry them to safety… it brought me to tears. Children being acceptable collateral damage of supposed “righteous” violence (on either of the conflict) is just unacceptable and tragic and awful…
