Matters of the heart

May 10, 2021 / / 0 Comments

It was a gloomy Wednesday morning at the Labyrinth with a crew of honorable PAX. Let us warm up!

Imperial Walker x 25 IC
Plank Jacks x 25 IC

Let’s Mosey! This is where matters of the heart were addressed. We were on the precipice of a life changing conversation about love and women and then we had run past two young and vivacious women of a mature age when Whoopee, being one of our cherished love doctors, blew our minds with a life altering challenge of the heart. Whoopee knew that the only way we could really fulfill our purpose in life (really just of the morning) was if YHC, the valiant leader of the morning, procured a kiss from one of the goddesses of the gloom. An inrush of emotion, panic, euphoria and the thrill of the chase all rushed in. Which prompted the next exercise at beginning of the path to the concession stand.

15 Big Boys OYO
25 Merkins OYO

Mosey to the concession stand and repeat. Lunge walk 3/4 around the concession stand then repeat again. Mosey to the parking lot, hang a left and turn mosey to the place of the first set. Upon arrival, opportunity knocks. Flying in on silent wings came the beauties of the morn. Whoopee encourages YHC to make my move, but alas, nervousness prevailed. YHC choked. Matters of the heart were left…. well, unresolved. Hopefully Oh well, let’s torture ourselves as punishment.

LBC x 25 OYO
Mtn Climbers x 25 IC

Run to concession stand and do some lunge walks then repeat. Mosey down the path towards the road then turn left around the field towards the batting cages, but end up at the playground. Failed attempt at Strava art, but backtrack nonetheless.

Repeat exercises! Mosey to the playground! A little Murph training happened here. Baby Murph. 5 sets of 5 pull ups, 10 merkins and 15 squats. Good work. Leave the playground and do a little countdown workout as we work towards Pelicans.

25 of each OYO: Merkins, Squats, Plank Jacks.

Drop 5 reps of each until we get down to 5 reps at the entrance of Martha’s River. Mosey back for a little Mary!

TIME!

Announcements, prayer requests, namerama, prayer.

Good work, men! Mumblechatter was strong!

Stinky Bird OUT.

Running / Rucking in the Rain post Mother’s Day

5 HIM’s showed even in the rain to get better. Some Rucked, some ran.

We said the pledge and then I talked about the Q-source topic “Meeting”.

Why is Christian Fellowship so Important?

Fellowship is an important part of our faith. Coming together to support one another is an experience that allows us to learn, gain strength and show the world exactly what God is.

Fellowship Give Us a Picture of God

Each of us together shows all of God’s graces to the world, No one is perfect. We all sin, but each of us has a purpose here on Earth to show aspects of God to those around us. Each of us has been given specific spiritual gifts. When we come together in fellowship it’s like us as a whole demonstrating God. Think of it like a cake. You need the flour, sugar, eggs, oil and more to make a cake. The eggs will never be the flour. None of them make up the cake alone. Yet together, all those ingredients make a delicious cake. It is like that with fellowship. All of us together show the glory of God. Romans 12:4-6  says “For just as each of us has one body with many members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we through many, form one body and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith.”

Fellowship Make Us Stronger

No matter where we are in our faith, fellowship provides us with strength. Being around other believers gives us the chance to learn and grow in our faith. It demonstrates to us why we believe and sometimes is the excellent food for our souls. It’s great to be out in the world evangelizing to others but it can easily make us hard and eat away at our strength. When we deal with a hard-hearted world, it can become easy to fall into that hard-heartedness and question our beliefs. It’s always good to spend some time in fellowship so that we remember that God make us strong. Matthew 18:19-20 says, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
