CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The words we use are impactful. How we react in certain situations and even our typical presentation of ourselves says a lot about who we are. If we are to be true HIMs, we have to be different than the rest of the world. Proverbs 17:27-28 says that even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent. Know when to speak and choose our words wisely. YHC’s main concern is serving God. If I can’t be identified as a follower of Christ by those around me because of how I conduct myself, I have a lot of changes to make. I recommend everyone evaluate themselves and make sure you are presenting yourselves as different than those that are only concerned about worldly matters.

THA-THANG:
Four cones were set up in a rectangle across the grinder. Each person started at a different cone and did the first exercise there. Then they moved clockwise to the next cone by either bear crawling (shorter side of the rectangle) or doing a defensive slide (longer side of the rectangle). They then did the first exercise at the next cone and so on until they finished the first exercise at all four cones. Each time we completed four exercises, we ran up the troll bridge and did 10 bodybuilders before going back and moving on to the next set of exercises.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Matthew 7:13-14 says “Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to destruction is wide and spacious, and many take it, but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

I feel like this verse is applicable to anything we do in life. As F3 men, we walk a narrow road each day when we decide to wake up early and workout. We have to strive to take the narrow path in each and everything we do. Comfort and ease are the barriers to happiness and success.
