Spread the Good News

This morning it was really cold again. The HIM were out rucking, running or walking as best they can to beat the fartsack and shed the holiday pounds. All were better for posting.

Thw Word was from Luke 2:8-20 where the shepherds were told of the great news of Jesus’ birth. They left the fields to see the baby and then told everyone about it. Let’s tell everyone of this great news too!

Prayer Requests: Wirenut’s family

Announcements: Beer Mile Saturday at Sargento’s (see preblast), 8 Block new year’s day.

Making Molehills Out of Mountains: Exhortation – Crossroads 12/18/22

10 PAX posted for a cold morning run at Crossroads.  Then the pledge, name-o, announcements, & COT (just probably not in that order!).  We rounded out the morning with a warm cup of coffee, a great discussion on “Exhortation”, and a quick video clip that I felt illustrated the principle to a T.

Announcements / COT:  Beer Mile – New Year’s Eve @ Sargento’s neighborhood (check Slack) / 1st Quarter points challenge

Prayers:  Gumby’s mother & brother-in-law / Wirenut’s family / Turtleman / Huck

One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

It was the morning before Christmas and all through the parking lot, not a creature was stirring for the PainLab AO, not even a Him. What! Its 8 degrees out here and ya’ll fart sakin son’s a britches leave me hanging out here by myself 🙄 Shame on you! Santa’s gonna take care of you loosers. So I did what any Him would do, I improvised and hung with the misfits from Gashouse. Just read the 12 days of Christmas that Stroganoff dished out. It was strong Q and it was freakin COLD. At least I didn’t fart sack 😛

Where’s my snow, damnit

I roll up a minute late because the M’s car was parked behind mine. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it. I see a few idiots here, I mean these guys are idiots for being out in this cold & rainy mess. It should be snowing for Pete’s sake. The only Him there to Ruck is Mainframe. Cool deal, this is my first time meeting. We stomped around in this stuff for about 30 minutes until it started to freeze rain a little heavier, so we decided to head back to Publix to grab some cover and get some work in. We did American hammers, LBC’s, squats, flutters, over-head press, rev crunches and a few others. Good work Mainframe! Keep at it and look forward to seeing you make a few more AO’s

*NMM This was about the most talkative group I have ever Q’d. Lots of discussion about my choice of Christmas songs in the playlist, Mexican food before a workout, what might be in SA’s wife’s pocketbook, Pallbearer spending money on a haircut, my ability to count, where to put your hands, when will the Mayor wear a long sleeve shirt and many “that’s what she said’s”. Merry Christmas you bunch of lunatics!

Elevens: Big Boys/Perfect-Form Merkins

Word:

“By nature, man is a sinner, and by choice, he proves that his nature is sinful. We are sinners not because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.”

But, talking about gifts, Romans 3:23,24 says:

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 

How? 2 Cor. 5:21 says:

 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 

So, Jesus came to earth ( which we will be celebrating), He, the perfect Son of God.. took our sin on Himself,  took the Father’s wrath for sin in our place so that we don’t have to face that wrath, died, and rose again, defeating sin and death. 

So, the best gift: salvation.. a gift, something for which we don’t have to work.
