Route 66 – The Narnia Lampposts Edition
The PAX began the workout on the frontside of the AO Trail.  The PAX had a series of 5 exercises. Each exercise was one round of 11 lampposts.

The 5 exercises were:
– Jump Squats
– Burpees
– Dive Bombers
– Big Boy Sit Ups
– Mericans

The PAX bear crawled to the first lamppost where he completed one Jump Squat. He would bear crawl to the next lamppost and complete two Jump Squats and so on until the 11th lamppost finishing with 11 Jump Squats. Following the 11th post, the PAX would run back to the beginning to begin round two of Burpees.

After round 1 (a quarter mile of bear crawls) there was an audible called changing the bear crawls to sprints in between lampposts.

The majority of the PAX Completed 3 rounds. And moseyed back to the AO for ABS

In total the PAX:
Bear Crawled close to a quarter mile
Completed 66 Jump Squats
Completed 66 Burpees
Competed 66 Dive Bombers
(Some made it to Big Boy Sit Ups)

There is no easy path to growth.  Physical, mental and spiritual growth requires something of you and requires you to stay the course.  The road may seem long and hard at times, but look around…your F3 brothers are with you the whole way!

MOLESKIN
21 PAX got up to “punch Friday in the face.” The workout proved to be pretty difficult, but the PAX worked well to encourage each other throughout the morning. Not much mumblechatter on Everest, but I assume that’s because no one could breath (including myself). Lots of sitting at the end of abs indicates a solid beatdown.

Verse: James 1:19 – “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”
This was the first verse I ever memorized and has meant more to me as I grow older. I find that I speak so much and sometimes I wonder “what would that person have said to me during that time if I hadn’t been talking?” But when I don’t speak and I do listen, especially to those who are older and wiser than I, that I learn so much. This has been something that has been on my heart a lot recently. When I stay calm, when I don’t speak, and when I stop and listen, I learn from those around me, I keep a good witness for the Lord by not getting angry, and best of all, I hear and learn from Him in times of quiet and silence. I encourage each of you to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger so as to learn and understand what God is doing in your life and the lives of others.

The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood (1 Corinthians 10:11 – When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.).  The difference between manhood and boyhood is not a sense of fun and zest for life, it’s maturity.  We don’t want to loose the joy of living, but the world…our loved ones…NEED us to be men.  The need us to reject passivity, accept responsibility, lead courageously, expect a greater reward…God’s reward.  Each morning at F3 we come together to get better physically, mentally and spiritually in the context of other men.  Men teach us how to be better men, so keep coming and keep giving!

MOLESKIN
The Knoxville PAX loves to kick off the week with a bang!  Monday’s are usually well attended and this morning was no different.  Everyone showed up ready to get better.  It was a great morning…I would expect nothing less.  AYE!!

Pledge of Allegiance

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Matthew 12:33-37 ESV
