WHERE: The Vineyard

THE PAX: Kiffin, Nomad, HankHill, MatchStick

Total # of PAX: 4

QIC: MatchStick

INTRO:

Due to the fact that I am either going in or getting off work most saturdays, its really hard for me to make Saturday beat downs.  But I had an idea!  I messaged HankHill to see if he was down for a 530 beatdown at a rogue, temporary AO. He responded with, “Yes, as much as the fat, lazy man says no to working out, I would like to.  As long as you post the BB in a timely fashion.”  HankHill is always ready to take his DRP and start his day by showing up to the gloom, even last minute.  So then I put it out on the Twitter sphere to see if any of the other PAX were interested. The amazing mumble chatter ensued.  Manning even called me a poacher, I guess he is off of my Christmas list this year!

WARM-O-RAMA:

First HankHill showed up, then Kiffin and then Nomad! I was excited that we had 4 pax.  For Kiffin and Nomad, this was a pre-ChatterBox beatdown, hats off to them.

First was a short mosey around the light post and back.

Then of course some SSHs with a flawless cadence count by YHC.

Since HankHill brought it up we threw in some JackWebbs, Kiffin counted.

THE THANG:

Everyone grabbed a coupon and we made our way to the stairs, about 100 yards, and performed 20 bicep curls on the way.

10 Deconstructed Burpee Laps:……

One lap consisted of 10 merkins, 10 mtn climbers, 10 squat jumps, pick up the coupon and go up the stairs and back down(about 25 stairs), set the coupon down and bear crawl to the curb and back(about 25 yards one way).  About 3 laps into this routine YHC was feeling like I was going to be the first to spill merlot at the Vineyard(would this have counted since it was a rogue beatdown?)

After a quick breather, the PAX picked up our coupons and began walking to the front of the school, did 20 more bicep curls on the way.

Being a little ambitious, YHC called for 5 more laps. But doing them while never letting go of your coupon.  10 incline merkins, 10 mtn climbers, 10 overhead coupon squats, up the small hill, acrosss the street and up the big hill.  Touch the light post and go back down.  We got in two of these before needing to head back to the metaphorical “flag.” The coupons were returned to the bed of my truck and we were spent.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

We had some good talk today for being such as small group.

We prayed for our relationships with our Ms, Nomads job situation so he can (a) have a job and (b) stay in Georgia, and Kiffin trying to make future employment decisions.  With me and HankHill heading to work after the beatdown, we also prayed for God to watch over our families while we were gone and to bring us home safely to them tomorrow.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

It was cool being a part of a 4 man PAX this morning. I truly love and respect each one of these men. Each one has so much to offer when it comes to building up the PAX to be strong leaders.  We also need to continue to pray for Cuban who is spreading the love of Gods word in Kenya and BananaBoat who is doing the same in Indonesia.  How prayer works is mostly a mystery to us but we know that all throughout the Bible God wants us to talk to Him and come to Him with things, especially when it involves advancing His Kingdom.
