WOR: stretch to Imagine Dragon’s Thunder to evoke one of the “Sons of Thunder” (James and John)

The Thang:

Take Coupons to base of Hill
Mozy to Sea of Galilee
40 hand release merkins to “release your nets”

Run up the hill to evoke Transfiguration

Base of Hill: Ask to be the greatest
“For the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Learn humility: 60 curls, 50 merknes, 40 shouoder press, 30 BBSU, 20 skull crushers, 10 thrusters

We’ve learned humility, Christ dies and rises,

Acts 12:2. “Now at that time, Herod the king laid hands on some of those from the church to harm them. So he executed James the brother of John with a sword.”

This happened in 44 AD: 44 derkens, 44, curls, 44 BBSSU,

James’ body taken on a stone rudderless boat to the ends of the earth, to Spain, where he was a missionary before his death (scout run to school).

Sunrise ridge: Abs and cool down, each PAX pick an ab exercise and then a cool down

Touch the curl bar and mozy around the track

Moleskine: You don’t have to go to Spain or do the Santiago della Compostella trail (though there is a portion of it in San Antonio). Turn your summer travel into pilgimrage when you can. America is filled with pilgrimage sites: St. Paul’s Cathedral in Osh Kosh. Frank LLoy Wright’s Annunciation Church in Milwaukee. Holy Hill, Guadalupe Shrine in Des Plaines or La Crosse, Our Lady of Champion – people walk across the state to get there. American is a site of pilgrimage if you know where to look.

Prayers for parents, Giggle’s son, travel, Cookies’ M, Tortuga
