NBA??? More like NBEhh!

Seven pax reported in the early, Dutch Fork gloom this morning to get better.  Whether or not that happened is debatable. After some pax at Tuesday’s bootcamp mentioned enjoying the “basketball Q” from a year or so ago, I decided to bring it back.  In spite of it being opening week for high school football, we went with a basketball heavy theme today.  But hey, it’s back to school time and everyone knows the most important subject in school is recess, right?  And nothing reminds me of my glory days as NRES 4th Grade recess Knockout champion and All-Time QB, like a little Foxhole recess Q.  Here’s how things went down… The reps were a plenty, and the form was atrocious, but it was dark and we all talked a big game, so all was well in our eyes.

Great job by the winning team – Plan B, TT, Queenie, and Meter Maid.

Okay-ish job by the team that came in DEAD LAST – Shakespeare, Tory, and Perdue.

CONDITIONS:  75 and humid as all hell!

DEVO:

Philippians 3:14

I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God has promised, life above through Christ Jesus.

  • Like shooting a basketball after doing a bunch of push-ups, burpees, and curls, sometimes life is hard…. And ugly!
  • When things get tough, stick to it.
  • Keep on shooting and you’ll eventually make all of your shots.
  • In other areas of life, when things get hard, keep pushing through (leaning on God) and His promise will be yours.
