Schneider was kind enough to point out that my pre-blast indicated a golf theme for the BD and he wasn't feeling it with this exercise, but YHC hadn't forgotten about the trip down Magnolia Lane...
Mosey back to the stage for a little AMEN Corner:
Hole Number 11: Par 4. 4 corners around the pavilion seating area for 19 reps at 4 stations (to honor Tiger's 2019 victory after a 14-year major drought). Exercises were: Wide Mercans, Jump Squats, Big Boi's, and Carolina Dry Docks
Hole Number 12: Par 3. Welsh Dragons across the pavilion seating area. 3 Bear Crawl Steps (CC) followed by 3 mercans; 6 Bear Crawls steps followed by 6 mercans, 9/9, 12/12, 15/15, and finish with 18/18
Hole Number 13: Par 5. Lunge walk to each Pavilion Step and do 10 Dercans. 5 steps = 50 dercans.
Back to the flag for Mary

Prayers for safety of all PAX and their families traveling for Spring Break
Naked-Man Moleskin:
There is one trait at the root of all sin in the world...Pride. Most evil that emerges is driven by an underlying feeling that we deserve more than we have and it is our right to use others however we see fit to secure the things that we selfishly desire. C.S. Lewis was quoted as saying that "Pride is the characteristic we despise most when we see it in others, however it is the most difficult to recognize in ourselves." CHALLENGE: As you go about your routines this week, try to look at every person you interact with as being your equal - no more or less deserving of anything. If you have the viewpoint that everything we have is a gift and look upon every person you meet with the same degree of kindness and respect, the results will begin to multiply in ways you do not expect. Aye!
