2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, [4] and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

SSHs, shoulder blasters, a decision to make. Enjoy the great outdoors and maybe get wet? Or retire to the Pavalon where it’s dry but dark, and where Gibbler still smells?

We did a little Rte 66+ up the dragon to warm up, and just when @Tecmo was feeling good about his decision to come this morning, we pivoted to the Pavalon and partnered up. A Pavalon partner pivot.

Lots of Rainy Day Burpees followed by various break excercises, including the TRC/Crab legs , the rumors of whose banishment from this platform have been greatly exaggerated.

My only regret is not having a speaker and not being able to shock tender snowflake sensibilities with some of my favorite música en español.

Faith, in my understanding, is an abject dependence. For most of us it comes from desperation and failure. But how else could we ever truly live?

Grateful for a presidential hospital visit. Grateful for a life, and for the challenges and rewards of a new life together.

Consider the word masculinity. What do you think of when you hear it? I’ve been studying the f3nation.com/q-source with many of the guys here on Sunday mornings prior to the time most of us goes to church & one thing that you guys know & we’ve talked about is that F3 uses words differently from the denatured words of the world.

Now once again consider the word masculinity

Each of you is a man. I want to give you a definition of masculinity & then break it down for you:
Masculinity is the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility

Glad- you choose an emotional state before the outcome is decide
Assumption- take on. Pick up the ruck sack. Take the heavy load. Carry the burden whatever it is.

Sacrificial- love is measured by what you’re willing to give up, give away, or give to someone. Lay your life down!

Responsibility – being a Q, take ownership of a problem & being the one to fix it problem by problem. Especially when you’re not the “leader.”

So today, I challenge you to be masculine. Consider the words above and step up. Sacrifice. Give your life away by taking ownership of hard situations.

John 15:13 – Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

MARY: Time at the wall for step ups and incline merkins and wall sits, one jump up and a race against rush back to the flag

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Escape from Haw ridge coming up in March.

COT: Philipians 2: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conciet, but consider other of greater importance than you. What we do matters, so does why we do it. Our motives won’t be perfect and there will always be some selfish motivies, but check if that can’t be minimized and serve as Christ did, for others. They are more important and God will be glorified.
