Reflection:

Ezra 10:4 “Rise up; this matter is in your hands.  We will support you, so take courage and do it.”

I can’t tell you what your “it” is, but you know it.  You may not know you know it, but it’s there; waiting to be discovered.  Nike would have us “Just do it”, but many times we are afraid we’ll make a wrong decision and fail.  If that happens, then I say you didn’t study, learn your “it” better before taking action.  You have to do your upfront homework, but if you know you’re ready, then (and only then) “….take courage and do it.”

 

Mole Skin:

  • Cheetah’s praise arms are getting stronger

  • Did the Germans bomb George Washington at Valley Forge?  

  • Dandelion is unusually quiet – probably in shock the Q made a posted

  • Welcome back Paddle – 1st post=good, but 2nd post takes courage

  • Overhead block carry >= Farmer’s carry

  • 50 Burpees is crowd pleaser – Whoever kept yelling “chest to the ground” can zip it.

  • Flutter kicks up hill < Flutter kicks down hill (future reference)

  • 50 El DeBlocko’s is a stretch

  • Playground has new mulch, everyone’s back can testify

  • Clark again uses a sun dial to time 1 min of low plank (or, we all need to improve our core strength?!?!?)

  • Lots of fun this AM, thanks for the opportunity.  Not sure why I don’t post more?
