COT
You don’t have to ask to be a leader to be followed.
Tony Dungy remarked on a time when he was new to the NFL that a guy he had seen as a mentor said that he didn’t ask to be an example to others, but Dungy informed him that it wasn’t his decision to make.
Two separate quotes from the book Family Discipleship by Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin were shared:
“leading your family means going first, initiating what needs to be done. It starts with you. Whatever your family needs, meeting the need begins with your action.”
“Parents are as much mentors and servants as they are masters… Your role is to identify the needs of those under your care and sacrificially meet them.”
Moleskin
PAX commented on the playlist that gave ambiance to the Thang. Proof that a generic 80’s rock playlist is better for a workout than the Full Metal Jacket soundtrack, as well as the musical noises being made by the PAX. Although Sniffer has no sense of smell, he did not appreciate the emanations proceeding from said musical noises.
Counting is hard, though all PAX eventually understood the pattern of the increasing reps.
The compulsive tendencies of some PAX (namely Blackout) nearly caused them to complete remaining sets rather than attend COT.
Fanny packs are always in style.
