A dozen PAX showed to celebrate one year of Mt Hollywood as an AO.  Freon and Red Ribbon are regulars that are in the area, proof that if the seed is planted growth will happen.  Here’s how it went:

Warmup: 12 SSH, 12 Imperial Walkers, 12 Burpees

Mosey to the wall in front of Ida Rankin.  Experience shows as the low end of the wall had a big crowd fighting for space. 12 step ups, 12 dips IC, 12 suspension merkins (these are really difficult by the way).  Three rounds.  Mosey down the road a little further for the main event.  Q calls for suicides.  We had a starting point that served as home base.  Each time to home base is 12 big boys.  Run to the nearest utility pole for 12 merkins.  Back to home base for big boys.  Run to next pole for 12 merkins and back to home base.  You get the trend.  All the way to pole that’s beside the wall where we started.  Not the one before that.  Some PAX thought they were at the end .  Nope, one more to go.

Mosey to parking lot at Ida Rankin for 11’s. tiger squats and Mike Tyson’s.  Mumble chatter rolling pretty good by now.  We got about half way finished, time getting scarce, so mosey back to flag for the pledge.

Moleskin: one year in time is a matter of perspective, in some ways can seem like a long time, in other ways it seems like very little.  Regardless of perspective, it is enough time to effect change.  Jesus’ ministry lasted roughly three years, three years that changed the world forever.  One year is enough time to begin lasting life change.  Stop doing something you shouldn’t be, or start doing something you wish you were.  All it takes is making the decision and following through.

Announcements: Speed for need – Stop soldier suicide and Christmas Town, Ragnar coming up, JJ5k, Pizza Man holding event at Rankin Lake Aug 17 from 10-2.  Sargento and some others doing half marathon in WV, and a half marathon in Belmont in December. Tuna 200 coming up.

Prayer requests: Remember Lynn Hamm and family, Red Ribbon on vacation next two weeks.  Pax praying for this week: CPAP, Easy rider, Ash Pond, Cookies n Cream, Shooter, T Square, Step Down, Red Ribbon

Q took us out with prayer

Always an honor to lead
