Things looked bad this morning since the rain was coming down hard and strong. The ever present "snooze button" was definitely an option but 6 brave PAX ventured out anyway to better their bodies, minds, and souls. And I know they are glad they did. Here's what happened:

No Mosey prior to the usual stuff because we were holding out for our fearless MQ and we didn't want to leave him behind. So we stayed put and got to it.

Thang – Block Workout
Mosey to the Parking Garage, dodging rain drops as we ran. Once we arrived and the MQ caught up we completed the warmup with Mountain Climbers.

Gentlemen thank you for coming out in the rain to work your bodies, minds, and souls. The cover that the garage provided us as we tortured our bodies with a block workout, reminded me of how God protects us.
Our study this morning of Isaiah 41:10 speaks volumes: "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
It's important to remember that we are not alone. God is with you right now and forever. By the grace of God we are being carried through our struggles and triumphs. Have peace in your heart and go conquer the world knowing with God on your side and love in your heart, its the journey the matters. And by focusing on God's power rather than on the size of the challenge ahead of you, all problems no matter how big can be overcome.
