Virginia Keever

10 PAX posted to Midoriyama on Tuesday. YHC had been reading through some old BB looking for inspiration and found some that were pretty simple and effective. I believe PM and I had come up with this idea to prepare for a mud run or something. During obstacle races you run a little while do some work then run again. We decided to try and mimic that and so we did it again on Tuesday.

Warmup:

Goofballs, Seal Jacks, Butt kickers, and High knees.

The Thang:

I’ve been trying to push the K.I.S.S.(keep it simple stupid) method with my team at work so it seemed fitting. Pick three exercises from different body groups do them and run. Rinse and Repeat and for good measure throw in 5 burpees here and there, especially at speed bumps.

We did merkins, lbc’s, and squats several rounds until someone started before I called it then we decided to switch to CDD’s, Freddy Mercury’s, and Lunges. You gotta lull them to sleep then surprise them! They like it that way. We stopped at the playground for a few rounds of dips and pull ups. We also stopped at the shelter for dips and step ups. Good job by everyone! Parkour!

COT:

Pledge

Announcements-Christmas party 12/11, Service project meetup at Gashouse this Saturday after the workout then hand out bags 11/19 at the Salvation Army.

Prayer Request

Moleskin:

So I named this BB after my Grandmother. She was my last grandparent and when I retrieved my phone from my truck to do the COT I saw the message that she had just passed. I knew it was coming and told my Dad it was ok to just text me if he didn’t want to talk when it happened. Virginia Keever was a hard working, out going, loving woman that loved to laugh. She spent most of her life working in the area cotton mills and worked all the way into her 80’s, after retiring, cooking food for her church preschool program. She loved me more than I will ever deserve. She pulled me out of some, will call them spotty, situations as a child taking me to stay with her at times. She spoiled me unbelievably even though she never had a lot herself. She always said she considered me to be like her own child. While I’ll miss her I know that she is in a better place. I know this because at the end she was asking God to take her home and said she was ready to be with Jesus! This is solid proof of her faith and gives me comfort. I just hope I can live the way I need to and have the faith Virginia Keever had so that one day we can stand together before the lord in worship.
