Run to the garage with coupons
The Thang
Thang 1 – Indian run to top of garage and back down
Thang 2 – Start at bottom of the garage rifle carry to the other end and do 9 burpees, continue this to each end 9 total rounds = 9 rifle carries and 81 burpees
Thang 3 – Team competition – One team gets to the top of the garage running the ramps with 5 different weights (one for each guy – 2 60lb sandbags, 2 30lb rucks, and 40 lbs worth of dumbbells) while other team races to the 5th floor stairs 3 times (2 up and down and 3rd just to the top)
We did two rounds of this so each team would get a chance at each activity. Team running the stairs won by about 15 seconds each time so it was pretty even.
Thang 4 – 3 rounds at the bridge of 5 pull-ups, 20 bentover rows, 20 curls, and 20 chest press
Run back to flags with coupons
Mary – American Hammers, Big Boys on my up – got hit in the face with a snowball by Smokey at 18 so I decided to punish the PAX and do 100 straight big boys, LBC’s, plank 6 o’clock
Circle of Trust
Read a passage that one of the F3 Knoxville guys had read during one of the Cardinal tributes. The passage had been pulled from one of the sermons Cardinal had given over the last couple of years. It read as follows.
I wanted to take a minute to talk about searching – looking for something. I don’t like looking for anything – and I spend most of my life looking for my keys, my wallet, and my cell phone.
And so, I have those three things that I’m constantly looking for. I’ve tried everything in the world. I’ve put them in the same place. I’ve put them in a basket by the door. I’ve hung them on the key rack. And it doesn’t matter what I do, I’m always looking for those three items.
Maybe you find yourself that same way.
We can spend our lives looking and searching for something. And we can drive ourselves crazy searching for… HOPE.
Hoping the New Year brings new life.
Hoping the New Year brings something different than last year.
We can hope and search for something – but if we know Jesus, we have already found that something.
In John Chapter 1, John the Baptist had just baptized Jesus and Jesus was teaching on the lamb of God, coming to be the sacrifice. And he notices that two of the disciples were following him after his teaching. He looks at them and asks a simple question. “What are you looking for?”
When we are looking for something … what are we looking for?
Are we looking for hope in a New Year?
Are we looking for hope in a president?
Are we looking for hope in something that is beyond our control?
Or are we searching for Christ?
What are you looking for?
Are you following, Jesus?
Are you hoping in Him?
Are you resting in Him?
Are you seeking Him?
My prayer is that you are doing that today.”
