9 strong at the stage and ya know dat bayou summer is in full swing when it’s a balmy 81 before you even slip on your mudgears. YHC rolled back in (after forgetting JBL on the charger) to a steadily growing group of Pax bolstered by a fresh wave of our seminarian Pax getting back in dat action.
The promises had been free flowing in the preBlast groupme with commitments of all shapes and sizes. Hopeful commits, repeat HC fartsack offenders, cardinal fanning flames, Even a brand new “FC”. That’s a frog commit, when pickleball says Jump , you say how high?
Ya really really hate to see it but we pushed forward.
Duke! run back home and get the footage. Your still a good boy!
Warmup
A respectable set of the usuals with extra care for the lower back.
The newest fad injury in F3 Thib is a tight back (although YJ will say he’s been doing it before it was mainstream) and after getting nuked by the diddle list on Saturday we all needed some careful grass grabbers.
The Thang
YHC decided that directly after Fathers day was a good time to cover the parable of the prodigal son. So many perspectives to reflect on from this amazing parable but today YHC wanted to focus on the contrasting emotions and inner turmoil of the father/son. YHC Just needed a good canvas for this medium and during a recent downRange vacation post YHC was introduced to the total brutality of a Jack Webb medley (shout out to HouseCall). It felt like a great way to express the conflicting inner emotions of the parable all while pondering if Thibodaux has any oxygen in the atmosphere.
First we had to take the inheritance and run away. We formed up in a Indian run with a last man Drop off – 10 Carolina dry docks facing away , see your family getting farther away.
We jammed to Ghetto Cowboy while we counted our inheritance cash followed by a choice Goose selection of Ford Econoline and all was right in the world…
Feeling pretty good about ourselves with endless money we stopped for Jack Webb #1
Merkins and Air Raises up to 10/20
The son beats his chest while the father prays “why?”
We moseyed on starting to feel the strain of responsibility but still depending on ourselves we ditched our van and set out on foot looking for love in all the wrong places.
100ish yard Lunge to DJ Snake/Bieber “Just let me Love You “
Are you a Beliber now Cardinal ?
We continued forward in a Jello Mosey
There is now a famine in the land, times are tough. But the son still depends on himself.
We headed for the pig pen to get in the slop. (Perfectly placed port o potty)
Jack Webb #2
Captain Thor
BBSU/American Hammers (3 count)
The son is pulling himself up (BBSU) while the father continues wrestling with his absence (hammers)
Time to Run Home
No money
No love
No friends
Deep in the slop just hoping for a bite of the pig food.
The crucial moment of uncertainty. I will return to be my fathers servant , but will he accept me ?
Air Squats/Mountain climbers
1 squat and 2 MC to depict the son running to the Father who was not only waiting but fervently seeking him daily.
Run Back home w guidance
Pair up and one pax run while guiding is partner in Nur.
Back Home
Song
– Run to the Father -Matt Maher
We held Tipper Gores on the song (atleast initially) with jump tuck on Run and Merkins on Again.
Legs got reallll wobbly.
Animal shirt awarded to Goldilocks! Back to back posts and this man is in pretty good shape if you are taking notes at home. Stay golden brother.
COT and Diddle prayed us out
Great effort across the board and awesome to have Goldilocks and Econoline in the mix. Grateful to be alongside you men today and always a privilege to lead.
YHC is often reminded of the repetitive nature of the “returning to the Father “ portion of this parable. So easy to get bogged down the moment we return to the ole pig pen especially when you have been there sooo much the pigs know you by name. But there is such deep consolation of knowing that even as we tire in repetitive sin our Fathers endless mercy is always waiting.
