Well Im running down the road trying to loosen my load , I got 7 Pax on my mind. 4 that wanna own me, 2 that wanna stone me and one says he’s a friend of mine!
Come on Yankeeeeee, don’t say maybe!
I gotta know if His sweet love is gonna Save me!
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
So let’s warm up , mountain climbin in and take it easy…
Duke! Get the footage and plug Bucees into the gps
It’s time to hit the road. (Jack)
Today YHC wanted to kickoff the Easter season through one of my favorite resurrection stories : The Road to Emmaus
It gives such a different perspective from two disciples heading home from Jerusalem and highlights many of YHCs struggles like expectations and contentment.
7 strong at the stage with really fine cool spring weather, perfect for making music with my friends.
Warmup
The usuals and a bumper mosey with mild to moderate chatter including Tana (welcome back Kotter) in full blown insubordination and Kilo wasting no time tweaking the Qs transitions after missing roughly the last 97 beat downs. The man has clearly been keeping his knives sharp during the layoff. Even a seasoned Q questioner like Goose could respect the effort. T-claps. Most other notable chatter surrounding the incredible confirmation cookout for two of our pax last night and the unbridled power of 50 plus kids.
To set the stage and mindset of these disciples we got started with a little F3 classic Flowers by Moby
They brought Christ up and then down and they thought he left them to weap and moan….
Alternate squats and Leg Raise.
Always a joy Moby.
Mosey to the yet to be named Finance Office lot where we tested out the fresh pavement with our first Gospel trivia.
How many miles from Jerusalem to Emmaus?
The pax overshot at 14 and paid with 10 oyo burpees
A little trivia interlude with “On the Road Again “ by Willie Nelson.
Rocky Balboas on parking bumper during song , burpee on Road . Ronnie with a JBL sponsored BreakOut Performance hitting some groovy rhythm looking like a young Travolta out there. Must have been a few drops of Jucifer left in the tank.
Second trivia round where pax correctly guessed the Gospel of Luke and reduced the reps to 5 burpees .
Mosey To Corner of Richmans loop
Trivia 3 where YJ quickly answered Cleopas as the named disciple and not to be confused with YHCs uncle Clofas who always lets you know that “he knows his rights “
For the remainder of the beatdown we ran the “big track “ with intermittent excerpts from the Road to Emmaus as our ten counts.
We completed dry docks, Australian angels , and SSH in increasing fashion on the corners.
Lastly, hopefully inspired by the disciples revelation, we made an all out push for the flag in running fashion as we left our own beatdown expectations behind. Great effort to push through the pain together here.
Goose handed down the coveted Animal shirt and YHC is already doing hallway merkins to make sure the threads are peak strain on Thursday.
COT and Kilo prayed us out.
Tremendous gratitude for all God is providing in this community .

Sometimes YHC really pumps up my own expectations and discontent leading to further chaos and an endless search for the “greener pasture “. The story of the road to Emmaus always reminds me of how we can look back and see what God placed all around us even when we were too busy to see it unfold.
With our own plans the sounds of our own wheels can drive us crazy! So lighten up while you still can. Don’t even try to understand. Just find a place to make a stand and take it easyyyyy!
That’s all I have to say about that
See y’all on that gloomy Road
