There was a train and we obliged with 5 more burpees.

Mosey to top floor of the Parking Deck running up the ramps.

20 merkins and 24 LBC’s then run to the bottom floor using ramps for 20 Mike Tyson’s and 24 Reverse Crunches and run back up using stairs as yet an unannounced number of cycles. I think Wichita and Clutch did 5 and the rest did 4.

Swings x 30 and back to the flag for time.

I was studying the Book of Titus and noticed a theme that is good for everyone to employ. Do good. There are many verses in Titus all pointing to this simple but powerful lesson. DO GOOD.

“Rather, he must be hospitable, ONE WHO LOVES WHAT IS GOOD, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.“ Titus‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‭

“In everything set them an example by DOING WHAT IS GOOD.”‭‭ Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬ ‭

”….. a people that are his very own, eager to DO WHAT IS GOOD.” Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬

“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to DO WHATEVER IS GOOD” Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬

“And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to DOING WHAT IS GOOD. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.“ Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ ‭

“Our people must learn to devote themselves to DOING WHAT IS GOOD, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives.” Titus‬ ‭3‬:‭14‬
