Lined up in single file line and performed Indian Run around parking lot and dog park lap. Once the PAX in front of the line had completed the cycle (run to the front), all PAX stopped and did 5 plank jacks. We repeated this for 4, 3, 2, and 1 plank jacks. Ended up being around 3.5 – 4 laps of Indian Run and 15 plank jacks
COT
Spoke on the book of Job in the scriptures. Job had it all: health, family, and wealth. On top of this, he was a very righteous man. One day, Satan took control of Job’s life and took away all his livestock, wealth, family and terrible illnesses fell upon Job. Job begin to question why God would allow such things to happen to him since it was strongly believed that God punishes the wicked and rewards the righteous, but this did not happen with Job. Job’s three friends began degrading him and telling him to confess his sins and repent so God will stop punishing him. Job maintained his righteousness. Although frustrated, Job never stepped out of the light and faith of God.
Three core lessons:
- Always trust God, even through the worst of trials.
- Be a good friend to those experiencing hard times. Don’t judge like Job’s friends did in the scriptures.
- When praying: Always give praise/thanks for three things that God has provided before you ask for one. The 3:1 ratio prayer rule.
Moleskin
After Deep Dish giving John Doe slack about not coming to The Battery multiple times, John Doe came through.
Low planks on concrete were not a PAX favorite (especially those with short sleeve shirts)
