The Fight Club group I’m in (Warsaw) had a breakfast meeting at Maria’s Saturday morning, and I went with Matthew up to “The Lodge” by Syracuse (a lodge, just like it sounds, on a large parcel of land owned by a Goshen church that’s very instrumental in the Fight Club organization) to do the makeup assignment. We hiked (not far) down the path through the woods to the lake, attempting to climb a rope at a halfway point (didn’t get up very far), then I placed a handprint on a wall and collected a block of wood that we’ll be using along the way. I’ve also started the workouts (the running isn’t a problem, but I haven’t done a single push-up or sit-up in a long time…) and can do the whole challenge each time, but only when the 40 push-ups/50 sit-ups/50 squats are divided into like 4 reps. With the block, we are supposed to place our last name on one side of it (creatively) and when done, pray with our wives for our families. I charred the surface, punched an outline of the letters with a nail, and put a yellow handprint over it. Looks pretty good to me. Another assignment was to leave some Gatorade on the front step for a neighbor with a note that you’re praying for them. Another was to write a letter to the principal of your local school and pray for the school and the principal. Those are the kind of challenges. Plus Bible reading and verse memorizing.
Softball Tuesday was blaaah. Nobody had anything. We were lackadaisical, only way to say it. We got steamrolled, twice, once by a team that we should beat. But to be fair, they have more players now than they did earlier, I assume some college kids came back or something.
