Nine F3 New Bern men congregated at The Bear this morning ready to get the weekend rolling…..(Winthorpe came in hot and almost rolled us all over). All were enthusiastic about the respite in weather and looked forward with angst regarding the warmer months that lie ahead.
No FNG’s so we moved right into it;
WARM-O-RAMA

THE THANG
With all warming completed we continued our mosey around to the Lacrosse (captital L for Winthorp) practice field and partnered up. The sand bags had not suffuciently been worked out during our last meeting and required more break in time and we abliged;

We ran out of time and didn’t quite finish what the Q had listed. We came together for
BOM/COT
No new or old business. Blessings were asked for the Parson’s family as they move forward following the death of a mother, wife and friend. We gathered around and Q took us out in prayer.
Mary
The Mary came too us out of a need to carry sandbags from the Lacrosse Field to the parking lot. Not sure if the trek was a 1/4 mile or not but with two sand bags this could be the part of the work out that stays with us until Monday.
Thanks for the oppourtunity to Q this morning. It was a great ENC morning and especially great to have shared it with y’all. Peace Out – Faulkner
