Introduction
Tiny Bubbles will be leaving us to lead another flock in Texas. As our way of sending him off and paying tribute, 4 of us have decided to do a Bible Beatdown tomorrow. That’s right! What better way than the first Friday in Lent to pay homage to one of our brothers that serves others on a daily basis. Bring those coupons and HC in the thread for a BIBLE BEATDOWN!
The Scene: It was warmer than I thought. I arrived early enough to test out the distance from the lot to the baseball field for the last thang. Time will be a factor but we’ll squeeze it in. Almost everyone was on time. Brooks showed up towards the end of WOR, which was extra long.

The Thang
THANG 1
Rochamburpees
Pair up
Chilcutt Plank position
Rock, paper, scissors
Winner: Merkin
Loser: Burpee
Tie: Chilly Jack
10 rounds
Start at 1 and go up 1 each round
We had 11 total so there was one threesome.
Hold plank until all are done.
THANG 2
Triple check
Teams of three
PAX1: curls
PAX2: skull crushers
PAX3: run loop, the first round was all the way around the football field. In order to cut out some time, the next two rounds were cut through the middle. Although some PAX couldn’t follow that instruction (cough – Brooks – cough)
Once PAX 3 finishes lap, all rotate
One round = each PAX completes all three stations
See who can finish 3 rounds first
Again, since we had 11, we had 2 groups of 4 and one group of 3. The group of 3 finished first but all had completed all 3 rounds.
THANG 3
Base Chase
At this point we had about 10 minutes and it would take 2 minutes to mosey to the baseball field. So we did.
One group at each base, in this case cones
Travel to odd bases: frog hop (or lunge walk), 10 crunchy frogs
Travel to even bases Bear crawl, 10 Dancing Bear
Can’t move to next base until whole group is done
Try to catch other team
YHC’s team started at 3rd. By the time we reached 2nd base, Moonlight’s team had caught us. I thought that was the perfect time to collect the cones and head back to the flags.
Mary
Everyone returned back to the flags at 6am – recover, recover

Prayers
Tiny Bubbles cancer treatments as well as his upcoming move.
European nations, that they may stand against tyranny.
Naked Man Moleskin
The warmorama was a reference to Proverbs Chapter 17 Verse 17: A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
In Tiny Bubbles’ COT he talked about how F3’s Brotherhood has helped him battle his skin cancer. It has always been there to lift him up, help him out and keep him going. Never be afraid to ask for help from your brothers in the gloom. The results may surprise you.
Peace,
Cousin Eddie
