COUNT: 21
Conditions:
Mid 60°s, slightly overcast, pleasant.

WOR:
Side straddle hops, Abe Vigodas, squats to Moby’s Flower, shoulder taps/merkins to The Coasters Yakety Yak.

The Thang:
1. King of the Hill; 2 teams, the Olds and the Youngs, competed. The Olds had to bear crawl up Hoffa and attempt to touch the fence at the top. The Youngs had to tag them; when tagged the PAX had to do BBSUs. Team Olds won if any PAX reached the fence, and team Youngs won if they tagged all the Olds. After each round, the team that won had to send their oldest to the other team.
2. Scatter (dodgeball variant). Everyone for themselves. you had to stay in bounds, and if you had the ball, you got two steps. If you hit a PAX on the fly, they were out, but if they caught it, you were out. When out, PAX did SSHs on the sidelines until the PAX that got them out was out; then the PAX could go back in. 13+ had to throw with non-dominant hand. To win, you have to get everyone else out yourself. No one won before time ran out.
3. Kickball – Everyone on a team got to kick each inning. 13+ had to kick with non-dominant foot.

Moleskine:
Dads enjoy these sorts of times with your kids, and kids appreciate your dads for bringing you to things like this. Memories will be made that you’ll both think back upon the rest of your lives.

Show grace and mercy to people when you can. I shared a story about speeding home on County Farm Road – about one month ago. I was going 58 mph in a 40 mph zone and didn’t realize how fast I was going. The police officer pulled me over… and just gave me a warning and didn’t give me a ticket! That was grace… and/or mercy!

Moleskine: Modify as Necessary
Today you were asked to do difficult (and perhaps unreasonable) things. When it was no longer feasible to continue, you modified as necessary. The same is true in our lives—we often face difficult, painful, and frustrating circumstances.

The serenity prayers states, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

There will be times when raging against our circumstances will only make matters worse—in those cases, radical acceptance of our situation is necessary to maintain our serenity. Other times will present additional challenges that we don’t need to deal with—we can courageously modify as necessary. Wisdom is knowing how to discern which situation is which.
