Solitude and Shelters

On a rainy morning with lightning providing mood lighting, YHC posted at Okwata about 5 minutes before start. Interestingly, the Mardi Gras Fountain was on and in it’s full glory, of course with not a soul to see (except YHC of course). 

As the minutes passed, it became clear that plenty of fartsacking was at hand this morning.  No last minute arrival by Hawg, and no flag to mark our spot. Only a lonely white van. Sigh. 

Amidst puddles, YHC gave his disclaimer, assuring all present that they could modify as necessary if the work-out was too difficult. 

The PAX moseyed to a nearby shelter for warm-ups.

Arm Circle x 40 one-way and then 40 the other way.

20 jump squats  (In honor of “National Reach for the Sky Day” (yeah, it is real))

At about 5:45, with no PAX in sight, YHC van-moseyed to the larger shelters closer to the yacht club (figured best not to risk lightning strike when solo. With others, no problem). 

 With picnic benches as a friend, proceeded with

35 Step-Ups Left Leg

Finished with mixture of Merkins from the count-down

After work-out complete, closed things out with count-down, announcements (the number of announcements was a bit excessive I think), and prayer. 

I prayed that all F3 men arising from their peaceful slumber this morning would remember to follow Christ as their true shepherd, but also seek to embody his servant leadership of their families and communities. Jesus asks us to know his voice and follow him. Does our voice sound like His voice to those in our lives, or someone else’s voice? 
Jn 10:27
Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
