YHC thought this morning would be a good time to clean up the AO and remove all the broken coupons and organize coupons, as the AO was going to get some extra coupons later today due to the cage needing to be cleaned up. So the “work” part of this workout involved aforementioned cleaning. It went WAY faster than YHC had planned, so the play portion of the workout was amended.

The Thang:
Get to the tennis courts for some impromptu elevens. PAX were instructed to line up on the sideline and start with 10 squats, run to the opposite sideline and 1 burpee, ending with 1 squat and 10 burpees. fun

The “play” portion of the workout involved a few songs that YHC thought were excellent choices for working out. the following songs were chosen:

Song 1- Bodies by Drowning Pool- PAX held plank until “bodies” then PAX performed donkey kicks. PAX then continued plank until 1,2,3,4 was said doing merkins on the number, back to plank until “bodies” was said again and rinse and repeat until song is over…

Song 2-Flower by Moby (bring sally up, bring sally down) Squats on bring sally down, hold until bring sally up, rinse and repeat until song is over…

Song 3- Tubthumping by Chumbawumba- SSH until “I get knocked down” then burpees, rinse and repeat until end of song…

Song 4-Thunderstruck by AC/DC-Flutter kicks until “thunder” then Freddie Mercury’s, rinse and repeat…

Song 5-Roxanne by The Police- Monkey Humpers on “Roxanne” and pickle pounders on “red light”, rinse and repeat until end of song, but we had to modify to plank to pickle pounders, as we discovered the transition at the end of the song was too much…

Mary: No time
Numberama, namearama, pledge, announcements, prayer requests, prayer

Devo:

YHC talked about importance of prayer, intentional prayer, that serves a purpose other than checking a box. YHC talked about series at Journey Church about prayer and made points about prayer being a part of the relationship with God. Praying for F3 brothers in the BOM as well as at home is important. Don’t expect any relationship to prosper without time spent with each other.

Matthew 11:20-26

As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” 22And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. 23Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have receivedc it, and it will be yours. 25And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”
