COT:

2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:2-5

We all go through various trials. Look to be the man who supports those in trials; we’ll be there soon enough ourselves and look to our Creator who gives generously.

El Caballo Blanco (white horse) workout is in honor of US Border Patrol Agent Alejandro Flores. Each exercise spells out his last name FLORES. The 21 represents the year he died.
The 4 represents a round for each of his four kids (one born after he died). The 35-lb coupon represents his age when he passed away.

Border Patrol Agent Alejandro Flores-Bañuelos was struck by a vehicle and killed on March 15, 2021. Agent Flores-Bañuelos had responded to reports of a crash on state Route 86, a four lane divided highway north of Marina, California. The traffic accident occurred during a dust storm that caused low visibility in the area. Flores-Bañuelos was the first to arrive on the scene and began assisting a 75-year-old woman whose vehicle had become disabled in the roadway. A second northbound vehicle struck Agent Flores-Bañuelos who was transported to Pioneers Memorial Hospital and later succumbed to his injuries.

BPA Flores-Bañuelos started his CBP career on March 5, 2009 and spent his entire Border Patrol career at the Indio, California Border Patrol Station in the El Centro Sector. Prior to joining the Border Patrol, Agent Flores-Bañuelos honorably served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps. He was born and raised in Richgrove, California and graduated from McFarland High School in McFarland, California. He is survived by his wife, his four children and his mother.

Watching a lot of Olympics and just so impressed with what beasts they all are. They work their asses off for this one singular moment. So just remember when we’re in the gloom and suck during the beatdown it’s nothing compared to what those folks are doing day in and day out so dig deep and find the umph to keep going!
