COT:
Proverbs 17:22 – “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Ecclesiastes 3:4 – “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
Life is hard. We walk through various trials and things get very serious. Sometimes we need to take a break and lighten up. So tell some jokes, find something funny to read or watch and just laugh. Its good for your soul.

Dad Joke – My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. “That’s my stepladder,” he said, “I never knew my real ladder.”

Warmup SSSH IW Tempo Merkins Don Quixote

Dora 123 Merkins, Squats and squishy LBC (the sounds were fantastic)
P2 takes sandbag and walks 30 yards and back farmer carry (r then l) shoulder carry (r then left) front/back carry

Competed in Brolympics sandbag toss (throw 60# bag, then 40 bag twice. Mailbox (with one hand) edged out Haggis

Did an “Indian ruck” with sandbags with no specific destination, leader chose time leading and route.

Got back in time for quick Mary including flutters, Nolan Ryan’s (side plank with punches) Freddy Mercury and Superman swimmers. Squats for time as Rushers arrived

Q shared 7th birthday from bone marrow transplant this past Sunday. Talked about the appreciation of support from so many across the years. Along the ruck Zerolingo asked about what is the part of F3 I enjoy the most and I quickly stated the fellowship:being around solid men with similar thoughts and beliefs who help to encourage rather than tearing you down. It’s a joy to call you brothers.
Prayers for many in the circle, especially for Mailbox and happy birthday to Butterknife’s daughter Rachel!

We rucked until we had to turn around.

I asked my 10 year what i could be better at and he said i needed to listen and get off my phone more. Don’t be afraid to ask for feedback and make necessary changes to be better.

A couple HCs disappeared overnight. We forgive you.

COT: David verse Goliath. David wasn’t just chosen at random with no skills and not capable of taking on the giant. God had been training him for years, fighting bears and lions while taking care of sheep. I’m sure he also had to train on how to use a slingshot effectively, God is training all of us so that we will be ready to fight the big giant the big battle. You might be in a season where you think you aren’t making much of a difference or doing much for God at this point just remember that God uses all the seasons to grow youinto the man that will defeat Goliath.
