THA-THANG:
Deck of Death is a routine done with a deck of playing cards where each suit is an exercise and each card dictates the number of reps you do of that exercise all the way up to an Ace being 14 reps.

For the Dova version, we did the following:

• Hearts = Dips
• Diamonds = Box Jumps
• Spades = Merkins
• Clubs = Burpees
• For cards lower than 5, we did the following:
• 4 = Sprint 200 yards
• 3 = Crab Walk 75 yards / Lunge Walk 75 yards
• 2 = Bear Crawl 75 yards / Lunge Walk 75 yards
• Joker = 50 SSH IC

We made it through 29 cards = 54% of the deck

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
6 PAX endured the Deck of Death – Slots, Cowbell, Moneyball, Bootheel, Rabbit, Dirty Deeds (FNG)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Today’s lesson was focused on a Devotion Rabbit recently read from a book called “Guts, Grace and Glory.”  The phrase that really struck Rabbit was “player of the week”.  The NFL has an Air and Ground player of the week award each week and it is for the player that excelled the most that week. While that is great, we are not going to do something like that most weeks and that’s ok.  Rabbit shared how we don’t have to do something outrageous like score 3 touchdowns or throw for 400 yards to be the “player of the week”.  The main thing we need to do is to be consistent and be that “player of the week” for our M (wife), our 2.0s (children), our co-workers, friends and those others who God has placed in our path.  When we are consistent in our walk with the Lord, we WILL be that “player of the week” for those who matter most in our lives.  Rabbit challenged the PAX to be that player of the week throughout each day and look for opportunities to help others do and live the same way.

MOLESKIN:
6 PAX came out eager and ready to go this morning.  This was the biggest showing for Dova to-date and the PAX worked hard in the gloom.  FNG Dirty Deeds was the first one in the parking lot and worked hard the entire time.  The PAX was unaware they were spared of the Jokers!  😉   Well done Dova men!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for Dirty Deed’s wife, Rachel who has been battling a rare illness for the past 5 months, for Soybean’s mom, for Dirty Deed’s cousin Jacob and for Rabbit’s brother-in-law.
