At The Sword this morning, we had a great discussion the beatitudes in Matthew 5: 2-12.

The Beatitudes

2 And ^qhe opened his mouth and taught them, saying:

3 ^r“Blessed are ^sthe poor in spirit, for ^utheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 “Blessed are ^vthose who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

5 “Blessed are the ^wmeek, for they ^wshall inherit the earth.

6 “Blessed are those who hunger and ^xthirst ^yfor righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

7 “Blessed are ^zthe merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

8 “Blessed are ^athe pure in heart, for ^bthey shall see God.

9 “Blessed are ^cthe peacemakers, for ^dthey shall be called ^esons¹ of God.

10 ^f“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for ^utheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 ^g“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely ^hon my account.

12 ⁱRejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for ^jso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

A great way to start the work week.

There was a nice showing on a beautiful night at the premier afternoon workout in Gaston County.

We did quick warm up of various stretching exercises giving thanks to Pearl Jam who EH’d me.

The Thang

• A very short mosey and 5 burbees to give thanks to Sister Act. He somehow stopped time during my first post and named me.
• We did some more sprints and burpees back and forth. in the parking lot to give thanks for Gumby. Gumby came back during a workout, when I was surely going to make it my last post.
• We then did step up counts with merkins and shoulders taps.  10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 for Bedpan. Bedpan is part of my shield lock. A relationship that is invaluable that all men need to have.
• We then did some Mike Tysons for Volt. Volt is a man of consistency. There were several times when we posted, it was just him and I. Solid HIM
• We then did some calf raiser for Slaw. Slaw gave me solid advice when dealing with a leg and foot injury.
• We then did some lunges for Montross. Encouraged me to get out of Folsom and post at other AO’s.  Very happy I did, met and learned much more about F3 and grew my HIM network.
• Next, we need a quick loop around the parking lot for Oompa Loompa.  He convinced me to get involved with CSUAP’s.   Great experiences were had that wouldn’t have been because of this HIM
• We then stepped down counts with merkins and shoulders taps.  60, 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 for Sarlacc. Sarlacc is also part of my shield lock.  Develop those relationships men.

Back at the flag, we did the pledge, COT, and prayers.

Thanks to Slaw for the opportunity to lead.

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry! Christmas Party

As for this morning, YHC intentionally didn’t plan the workout and decided that it would be made up as we went along. 8 PAX in total joined in for what might have ended up being a “little” heavy on the upper body, but all in all a fairly adequate workout. It went like this:

All are regulars so they know the disclaimer

Pledge

WU

Mosey to the bus lot at Rankin for some four corners. 5 Big Boys, 10 Mike Tyson’s, 15 Squats, 20 Mountain climbers. Double the reps and repeat. Double again and repeat. Math is getting too difficult for YHC at this point, so lets do something else.

Mosey to the wall in front of Rankin for some Lindsey’s. 10 dips / 30 derkins, 15 dips / 25 derkins, 20 dips / 20 derkins, 25 dips / 15 derkins, 30 dips / 10 derkins.

Mosey the long way through town to the BB&T wall and knock out some 11’s. Hip Slappers (IC count) on one side and Burpee’s on the other. THIS SUCKED!!!

Time’s almost up, so back to the flag and we’re done.
