The Harvest is Plentiful…

It was a damp morning for The Sword but 5 HIMs showed for the gloom.  Good run though a little on the humid side.  We met back at the parking lot for the verse… a repeat of the previous day’s Q-source (Sua Sponte Leader).

HE TOLD THEM, “THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL, BUT
THE WORKERS ARE FEW. ASK THE LORD OF THE
HARVEST, THEREFORE, TO SEND OUT WORKERS
INTO HIS HARVEST FIELD.”

Moleskin:

It was a typical F3 morning and workout.  However, with that said, I am personally very grateful to have this.  YHC makes every effort to not take this for granted and try to share with some Sad Clowns that I know.  It has been and continues to be a true blessing.

It was great to see Emoji out today.

Great push and good times had by all (as JJ so eloquently put it at the end).

Thank you to Clavin for the opportunity.

It was about 2 – 3 sets per rep.  At the other side we turned around and came back. Only we added a  Merkin/Burpee. So 2 Merkin/Burpees and 4 lunges. then at the other side add another Merkin/Burpee.

Rain as a deterrent

The forecast called for rain so we didn’t have a huge crowd at the Horse on Sunday.  However, it only drizzled rain and was comfortable for the entire 5 miles.

Breaker Breaker left early and Stroganoff got some EC.  Sargento came in hot and we lowered our standards and waited for him and left to run at 0631 hours.

The Greenway is plenty dark these days.  Fortunately the creek didn’t rise where we would have to run through  water and all the Flotsam and Jetsam that sometimes clogs the path over the small bridges.

Flintstone showed up for Q-Source.  YCH covered “Opportunity” but was called out because it was supposed to be on “Apprenticeship”.  Q-Fail on my part…

Get ready for the November challenge.  You better harden up  and run, even on the days that call for rain.

Roscoe

Hollywood Improv

Either you guys don’t like dry and 60 degree weather on the smoothest parking lot in Gaston County, or you just don’t like me. Definitely must be the former.

Anyway, the 4 brave souls who deigned to join me were probably pleasantly (or not) surprised to stay on said parking lot for 45 minutes of joy/pain.

It was so much fun/not, that one not-so-brave soul left early.

Despite the mutiny, YHC had a good time.

If you care to know more, come out to Midoriyama tomorrow (10/27).

Until then,

GD

Live Right

Due to Site Q obligations at Mt. Hollywood, YHC doesn’t make it to The Sword very often but this AO is a great way to start off the week. Sparky was kind enough to give me the last minute Q and 7 PAX came out to get in a run and follow up with some discussion on how to live.

 

1 John 2:15-17 – “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”

John is warning us in this verse against stumbling over the temptations of the world and letting them take over our lives. When we continually stumble or struggle with something like envy or materialistic wants and desires we begin to let those thoughts and actions control our lives. Little by little, we concern ourselves more with the ways of the world than with the will of God and move farther and farther away from living the life he calls us to live. When we do this we are living for the world and not living for God.
