Day: April 22, 2023

One planned audible after another…  Stay in the Bunker, runs some hills, nah stay in the Bunker…

Plans were set for a takeover midway through the workout.  Shhhh!

A quick count and disclaimer and we crossed the street to the Bunker.

Warmup:

SSH x 15, Gravel Pickers x 15. Imperial Walkers x 15, Mtn. Climbers x 15. Moroccan Night Clubs x 15.

Now time for stations.  10 Parking spots were pre chalked with an exercise and rep count.

Flutters x 50

Kettle Bell Swings x 25

Apollo Onos x 25

Block Curls x 50

Burpees x 25

Kettle Bell Squats x 50

Merkins x 25 or 50 chalk got excited and wrote 50 instead of 25 as planned.

LBC x 50

Plank Jacks x 25

Block Rifle Carry around Bunker perimeter.

Pick a spot and start.  Move in any direction. It’s You vs. You.

Accompanied by music this went on until 7:30 and until Flintstone said he was bored, and we needed to run Thorne hill.  So, with a few guys following Flintstone and the rest looking confused at me I sent them on.  A short mosey to one of the longer hills in Belmont and we were headed up for a round of three exercises, and back down.  A round of exercises and back up for another round before we were back down again.  One more round of exercises and we headed back to the bunker.

Mosey to the Bunker for some Iron Cross.

The pax were split in half.  One from each team picked up two-gallon jugs of water (8 lbs. ea.) and held them shoulder high until one guy had to drop.  While we watched we did a series of AMRAP exercises.  First up, the pax started with Monkey Humpers.  When the first guy drops his penalty is 5 burpees.  Winner calls next exercise and returns to his team while two more begin.  Most guys gave it a good try before time was called.

Something new, why not…

We closed out with praises and prayer.

Thanks for playing along.

12 PAX came out for a beatdown I had already done in reverse.

Weinke was deleted, but suffice to say we did rounds of 4 exercises at the top of each landing, bearcrawled down each ramp, moseyed over to the next landing and rinse/repeated until we did hip slappers, wall sits, and dirty hookups.  Moseyed back up the stairs to the top and did it again.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead!

Matthew 7:7–8

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

In the process of seeking God, we need to ask God for continuously drawing us to Him in order to keep us moving forward, and also ask Him to help us not to give up half-way. 

We often feel that we’ll never find what we’re looking for, but the real problem is that we did not keep on looking. Seeking, finding and knocking are all steps in the process of seeking God. If you really want to see the President of United States, you may write a letter to him. You wait for a long time and finally received a reply from the White House stating that the President invites you to meet him. You’ve sought him and he responded, but you haven’t met him yet. You must then find out how to get to the White House; when you are at the White House, you’ve found it. But you still haven’t seen the President, because you need to come to the oval office and knock on the door. When the President opens the door, you’ve finally met him!

The process of seeking the Lord is very similar. Very often the Lord promised us something, but it’s a long way from us actually getting it. We need to continuously seek, and we often only find some experiences or doctrines but not the Lord Himself. 

We need to keep on seeking until we are in front of the Lord, seeing Him face to face. Nothing can replace the precious experience of being with the Lord — Not even spiritual experience or knowledge, law or tradition. When are you with the Lord face to face, communicating with Him in prayer, you will be able to enjoy the sweetness of being in the Lord. 

May God help us, give us an eager heart and never stop half-way. No matter what you spiritual condition is, just keep on moving and keep on seeking until you and the Lord have each other completely.

Many PAX shared their thoughts and comments.  The biggest takeaway from this that I had was, why do we not ask for God’s guidance more humbly and more often?  Pride, arrogance and shame seemed to be the biggest reasons.  God grant us the wisdom to be humble always and seek Your Will in our lives.
