Preamble:

Christmas Tree theme BD climbing up and down tree. Thanks to my daughter's artistic skills, the whiteboard was clutch.

Warm-O-Rama:

Extra long mosey for Snowman. Circle up and complete in cadence:
  1. Good mornings
  2. Toy soldiers
  3. Moroccan nightclubs
  4. Willy Mays Hayes

The Thang:

Climb up then back down the Christmas tree. After each exercise PAX run a loop. Christmas rock music kept all PAX energized throughout. First PAX to finish joined in to pick up the six. Christmas tree exercises consisted of:
  1. 10 SSH
  2. 20 Lunges
  3. 30 LBCs
  4. 40 Merkins
  5. 50 Squats
  6. And the star on top... 25 Burpees
Back to the flag for a little Mary.

COT:

  1. 2nd F event this afternoon at Summits Tavern. Check slack for details.
  2. New Year's Eve event at Tower Rd. More details to follow.
  3. Praise for Snowman's promotion and first week on the new job.
  4. Prayers for anyone dealing with addiction, especially during this time of year.
  5. 30 seconds of silence for whatever is on PAX hearts.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

"Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:12
  • Christmas reminds us that God didn't send Jesus upward in power.
  • He came downward in humility.
  • The King of Heaven chose a manger. Strength wrapped in surrender.
The world says: climb higher. Jesus says: go lower and bring others with you.
