SELF-CONTROL

The verse of the week: “Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

The emphasis was on being self-controlled. Self-control or self-controlled is used 13 times in the Bible, once in the Old Testament and twelve in the New Testament. Seems to be a pretty important virtue for the believer not to mention it’s one of the fruits of the Spirit “Galatians 5:23”. All you have to do is look around and you’ll notice that most people are striving for self-entitlement and self-gratification. Being Self-controlled  is a choice, it’s not something that just happens. It’s making small choices in a positive direction day after day until it becomes habit. Rinse and Repeat!

COT:

Prayer request: Sparky’s nephew, SA’s daughter and family, our community and those on the front line.

Thanks once again for the opportunity to lead!

Wichita out and on to the next one

Baptized in Sweat

It was a lucky day for 13 PAX who tackled a GD ab workout in 96% humidity.

Warmup – 25 SSH. I’m an idiot, you’re an idiot, let’s go.

Mosey down to First Baptist for Dora in the parking lot. All abs. You get the idea.

Mosey to the bottom of Baptist hill for a twisted dirty triple nickel. 5 hand release merkins, mosey to the middle for the dirty LBFCs, twist around and nur it up the rest of the (longer than I remembered) hill for 5 jump squats at the top. 5x.

Mosey to BB&T for ab escalators. No time to de-escalate, but there is time for a plethora of merkins on the way home. Enjoy.

 

Good to see some new faces out at Mt. Hollywood. This is a great time to be EHing friends (and foes), family, and strangers alike, especially with gyms being closed down.

Get ready for the Mt. Mitchell hike on the last Sunday of September and a whole bunch of special stuff coming to an AO near you in the fall.

Pray for Huck and SA’s family.

 

Until next time,

GD

Running with scissors

Don’t try this at home. I’m a professional. I know, I know, mom said not to do this.

Anyway, 20 HIMS showed up at the Yank on Saturday morning. YHC observed that there was EC happening.

7 am time to start, circle up, Pizza Man said “Annihilation follow me, rest of you stay with Oompa.”
About then I think some senile homeless dude sleeping on the park bench mumbled something about a KJV workout starting as he wandered off, but, hey, old people aren’t known for their acuity.

No FNG. So no disclaimer. Mosey up to the hill to the track at the elementary school. That’s covers our warmup.

Since Sister Act always says it’s not an official F3 workout without burpees, burpees every light pole on each side of the street back to Main Street.

Zombie walk back to flag.

And we’re done!

Always an adventure to Q at an AO where I don’t usually post to see different faces. Thanks for offering it to me Pockets.

Pizza Man led pledge, prayer requests, announcements, and took us out.
