VQ at Yank

06/17/2019
I have never had the Q at the Fighting Yank and Tesla mentioned an opening the other week at the Friday evening 2nd F event at The Station so I jumped at the chance knowing I would have to bring a tough one! Let’s go! One FNG (Chip Norman from Bessemer City welcome). Disclaimer was given.
Warmup at the stage area, nope. They were unloading something down there so change the plans to the parking lot behind Sammy’s that Broke told me was called the Pit.

Warmup SSH x 15 IC, Cotton Pickers x 15 IC, Hillbillies x 15 IC, Low Slow Squats x 15 IC and in case of a train… 5 Burpees OYO. Mosey the long way to the parking lot behind Glenway Pub where cones were marking lines about 40 yards apart.

Reducing Time Sprints. Start with 11 seconds to run the distance, 8 seconds of rest, 11 seconds to run, 8 seconds rest, 11 seconds to run, 8 seconds rest. After the 11 second set it reduces to 10 seconds for 3 runs still with 8 seconds rest, then 9 seconds and all the way down to 4 seconds if anyone can make it. Milton was the last man standing with Keeesh and Wet Nuts right behind. Nice work guys! Mosey around the park and up W Myrtle Street to Hill Street to find a nice sunny wall.

After each step I read a verse and a thought about anger. Anger has been a problem for me for many years. I have to work very hard to stay ahead of anger. Here are the references I used:
1) Proverbs 15:18 A hot-tempered man stirs up strife,  but he who is slow
to anger quiets contention. Slow to anger.
2) James 1:20 For the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.
Anger keeps us away from where God wants us.
3) Ephesians 4:26-28 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on
your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Anger hinders all of our
relationships, especially M and family.
4) Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Our response to anger can often control how the situation resolves.
5) Proverbs 19:11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to
overlook an offense. Turn from anger toward forgiveness.
6) Colossians 3:8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice,
slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Turning from anger will lead
to turning from other bad things.
7) Proverbs 14:16,17 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the
fool rageth, and is confident. He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly.
Turning from anger shows wisdom.
I mentioned to the guys that as men we can often set the tone for our families and not to let anger set that tone but let peace and gentleness.
Mosey back around the park to the Pit for a last thang.
