Finished Reading “Heretics”

  "G. K. Chesterton, the "Prince of Paradox," is at his witty best in this collection of twenty essays and articles from the turn of the twentieth century. Focusing on  "heretics" - those who pride themselves on their superiority to Christian views - Chesterton appraises prominent figures who fall into that category from the literary and art worlds... those who hold incomplete and inadequate views about "life, the universe, and everything." He is, in short, criticizing all that host of non-Christian views of reality, as he demonstrated in his follow-up book Orthodoxy. The book is both an easy read and a difficult read. But he manages to demonstrate, among other things, that our new 21st century heresies are really not new because he himself deals with most of them." (Goodreads)

Farewell Dr. Ben!

l to r: Chris, myself, Ben, Mark, Jason
A good friend of ours (center) is moving along to the next phase of his life's journey. We are really going to miss him--but it's not "good bye."

We celebrated Ben and sent him off by doing the workout of his choosing: "12 Days of Christmas." So, complete with some rockin' Christmas music we had some serious bang-n-clang going on in the Fitness Center.

We did the following WOD, like you would sing the song, the number of the "day" being number of reps. And boy did everyone crank it out!

1 Power Clean (115#)
2 Pull-up
3 Wall Ball (20#) or Thruster
4 Bench Dip
5 Goblet Squat
6 Push-up
7 "Supermans"
8 Deadlift (115#)
9 Box Jump
10 Kettlebell Swing
11 Burpee
12 Knee to Elbow

Best going-way party ever. Sure made some memories, Dr. Ben!
