at every exit along the loop you do the following exercises adding one quantity at each X. Start with Merkins and do one on first X 2 on second X etc. Total of 10 Xs. at X 5 run up hill to touch Dwayne (The Rock) and back down to continue loop. Change exercise each lap. They are:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I didn’t have anything formally prepared but I wanted to speak to the packs about service. We have a God given gift as men to help others. Often times we don’t look for ways to serve but wait until they’re given to us. I challenge them in to look at Waze this week and try and find opportunities to serve someone else. Whether it be talking to someone that needs help, bringing food to someone, whatever. Just look for opportunities. Then butters shared about a woman he met through his work that needs help With food while she is down with a hip injury.
MOLESKIN:
It has been several weeks since I have been out to the dog pound or any F3 work out for that matter, and before that I was very sporadic. I’ve been dealing with several injuries as well as straight up laziness. I miss the camaraderie and they work out very much. My day was so much better after working out although I am pretty darn sore today. It was also great to see @underhand out there again after a two-year hiatus.

M had an Uncle and Aunt die very recently.  Got us wondering if they were saved.   Don’t let anyone doubt about your salvation. Live a life through your speech, attitude and actions that leave no doubt about your salvation.  Also, someone’s salvation and eternal life is too important to be weak about asking them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Word for the year is something I’ve used for the last few years. 2020 was Celebrate, proof that God has a sense of humor. I had an idea of what Celebrate was going to look like and it was completely changed. What did happen though is at times it became a rallying cry during hard times. I could ask myself, “What is there to celebrate, even though the whole world is on fire?”. It also led to a Family dinner ritual that my daughter calls Happy/Crappy’s. We name 3 things we are Happy about from the week and 1 thing that was Crappy. It was important for us to not glaze over the struggles from the week too. This year, my word is Freedom. I have an idea of what that might look like but, I guarantee that God also has an idea of that will look like!!

Happy New Year!!!

MOLESKIN:
Field Goal squats were a real crowd pleaser!! Good to see some familiar faces out there today!
