COT
Talked about the story in Matthew where Herod had John the Baptist killed. On that day, Jesus mourned and was very sad about the passing somebody so close to him as John the Baptist. His day started off terribly with this news so he wanted to get away to a remote location and be by himself to pray and mourn. However, all of his followers saw him walking out to the location and followed him to see what he would say and/or do about this tragic killing. Instead of letting his bad day continue, Jesus chose to do what Jesus always choose to do: Perform Miracles and give to others. We all have bad starts to the day and even sometimes long periods of the day that are bad, however, we have the ability to take this approach and turn our day into greatness! The moral here is, never let a bad start keep you from a great finish. Jesus had a terrible start to the day but later on performed one of the greatest miracles ever seen by turning small portions into enough to feed 5,000 men plus women and children. Bad starts don’t have to equal bad endings!
Moleskin
Lots of MC this morning due to smaller group which was AWESOME!
It turns out that burpees counting down from 5 to 1 gets just as much flack as from 10 to 1. Who would’ve thought?
At one point in the beatdown Woodrider told Coldplay that “his face looked like Woodrider felt” Still not sure to this point whether that is a compliment or passive aggressive assault
Chest and arms station was by far the most hated pain station, so like any good beatdown, we did it again!
We will make sure to get a second Parliament flag for two reasons: 1) the picture of Tatonka on the design and 2) to make sure John Doe doesn’t get his way
It was brought up that Sniffer fartsacked on us again! PAX to ensure that FIA schedule is posted on Parliament channel for his viewing pleasure.
