Parking Lot Tour at The Tower

Pull into the Tower with Red Eye and Buttermilk. YHC decided to give them a tour of the Tower, so we visited most of the parking lots. (We did neglect Food Lion’s; sorry Reading Rainbow.)

Warm Up (all in cadence):

1. 25 Side Straddle Hops
2. 10 Little Arm Circles
3. 10 Reverse Arm Circles
4. 10 Humpies
5. 15 Alternating Toe Touches

Mosey to Parking Lot #1 across the street from The Tower. PAX go from parking lot line to parking lot line, with exercises at each: first parking lot line is 13 Bobby Hurleys, second line is 13 Froggers, third is 13 Hand Release Merkins, then cycle repeats descending by one, fourth is 12 Bobby Hurleys, fifth is 12 Froggers, sixth is 12 Hand Release Merkins. 39 spaces later we finish.

Mosey to Parking Lot #2, next door. Lunge Walk across parking lot. Lunge Walk halfway back.

Mosey back across the street to Parking Lot #3. YHC jumped ahead and said “Crab Walk”… …whoops, “Crawl Bear”… …no that’s not right, “Bear Crawl” across parking lot, so we did.

Short mosey to Parking Lot #4. This time we Crab Walk.

Long mosey to Parking Lot #5 behind The Tower. Sorta same set up as #1, but abs. First line, 11 LBC’s, second line, 11 RBC’s, third line 10 LBC’s, fourth 10 RBC’s, and so on. 22 spaces later we finish.

Mosey past The Tower’s tower to the flag Key Hole for some step work:

1. 20 Step Ups in cadence
2. 20 Incline Merkins OYO
3. 20 Decline Merkins OYO
4. 10 Box Jumps OYO

It’s 6:15 now, so we circle up, count-o-rama, name-o-rama.

YHC shared an excerpt from A Little Book on the Christian Life:

FURTHERMORE, WE HAVE a particular consolation when we suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake. In such persecution, we should consider how much God, thus branding us with the mark that His soldiers bear, condescends to honor us. When I speak of suffering for righteousness’ sake, I have in mind not just those who are oppressed for their defense of the gospel,but also those who encounter oppression for whatever ways they defend righteousness. Whether, then, we assert God’s truth against Satan’s lies or take up the cause of the good and innocent against the injustices of the wicked, we will necessarily encounter the world’s displeasure and hatred. And from that may follow danger to our lives, our property, and our honor. In these circumstances, we shouldn’t think it painful or troublesome to devote ourselves to God in such a way. We shouldn’t judge ourselves miserable, when by His own mouth He has pronounced us blessed.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. – MATTHEW 5:10

Poverty is in fact misery if we consider it in and of itself. Exile, scorn, imprisonment, and dishonor are likewise misery. And then there’s death, the final calamity. But when God’s favor rests on us, none of these things need threaten our happiness. Let us therefore derive greater contentment from Christ’s testimony about us than from the vain estimations of our own flesh.
