We carried heavy things today. I repurposed some statues that VOODOO kindly gave to me as a house warming gift. We marked out 1/10 of a mile around a parking area, and performed the following exercises while we carried the saints.
The goal was to start on opposite ends and carry items until you pass the other team.

Divide into two teams. Position each team on the opposite side of a loop. 1/10 mile
Carry the saint and a CMU with one team member while the remainer works through a list of exercises
Swap at every lap

The game ends when one team passes the other team

Grab a CMU and rotate through these exercises
Do them until your player gets back, they are the timer
Every 5 exercises performed meant we added weight, and by round three the weight was near 100lbs.

Saint only 35-40lbs
Merkins
Bench Press
Curls
Squats
Flutter Kicks
Saint and CMU 70-80lbs
Merkins
Bench Press
Curls
Squats
Flutter Kicks
Saint, CMU, RUCK 100-110 lbs
Merkins
Bench Press
Curls

For the COT we discussed Mary Magdalen getting up early and being a spectator to the stone being rolled away from the tomb that denotes Easter and the resurrection of Jesus. She got up and went to the tomb and as a result, she was able to witness history. That stone was moving that day whether she was there or not. I think we can all apply this to our lives in some way. Events and good things are happening all around us, even at F3. These things will be there whether we attend or not, and it is up to us to be a part of things, or be present within our family. An example is tonight with Haw Ridge, or the upcoming GTE. I have serious FOMO about both events that I can’t fully attend. Great things will transpire and I am going to miss them. You have a choice, and if you can find a way to make these events happen, I am telling you that these are potentially life changing opportunities that you don’t want to miss. Maybe not stone rolling away from the tomb opportunities, but life changing non the less.

COT: Was going to share my testimony, but in preparation and prayer God wanted me to talk about Him. Was going to talk about the prodigal son and corruption, but God shared that the parable is actually about the father too. The story goes, “that when the father saw the prodigal son in the distance, he had compassion on him, ran to him, hugged and kissed him.”

Oh how I long for the day to receive that embrace and kiss. Our Father made a way to Him by sacrificing His own son, so that we are no longer slaves, but sons…also heirs. (Gal 4:4-7)

Perhaps God is calling you to Him now, and it is time to receive the Spirit of His Son inside of you so you can experience the love from the kindest and loving Father you could ever know.
