Reflection
Hearing a 70's rock band legend passing away reminds me of a former pastor of mine. Dr. Lenny Stadler. Dr. Stadler had a biography, "From Hard Rock to Solid Rock". In this book he discusses growing up Christian, joining the 70's southern rock band Blackfoot, doing drugs, and almost dying. Then the Lord gave Dr. Stadler to ability to change his life around. He got right with the Lord, quit the band, went to seminary and got his doctorate in theology and went into full time ministry. Sadly, Dr. Stadler died from a long term illness a few years ago. Dr. Stadler wasn't perfect, he was human and he made mistakes like we all do. So whether you made some bad choices or not, or perhaps you are/were the Prodigal Son, you know the Lord is/was always ready to take you back.
Some say the Lord never gives you more than you can handle…but that's just simply not true. You are guarenteed to get more than YOU can handle, because you need HIM. WITH God, you can handle it…but it's not really about you anyways now is it?
Moleskin
- This workout was a lot of fun to plan. Took a lot of time too.
- Some technical difficulties linking up with Ziplock's bluetooth speaker. Continued difficulties selecting the correct song, a few didn't download and we had to play them on the fly. Thankfully AT&T wireless works way out here.
- While we're at it, thanks Ziplock for the speaker. My 1/4" phone speak just wouldn't have cut it today.
- Closer says during pull-ups "The heat is definitely NOT on"
- Continued prayers for PAX going through difficult times.
- Some of those songs BPM, really can mess with a Q's attempt to call cadence…and the PAX ability to follow along.
- One cry about making a PAX member run out of water before the end of the workout.
- 6MOM would have been much more interesting with some actual Tequila, or if the workout ended 1 hour later and it was during the actual sunrise.
- Thanks for letting me lead you today in both your workout of the day and a trip down memory lane.
- Kringle, good to meet you. I had thought, how awesome it would be to plan to play "New guy in town" if we had an FNG or someone I haven't met before, but in reality there wasn't a catchy move that I could think of to do while playing it.
