CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Gracious to be a part of F3 and specifically the Dog Pound PAX. As AO Q I’d like to accomplish 2 things with you 1. Create a culture of Qing. It’s the foundation of F3 and gives us a place to practice our leadership. It also gives us the opportunity to say thank you and give back to all the Q’s we’ve attended. 2. Let’s find a way to install some pull up bars!! Looking forward on working on this with you all.

MOLESKIN:

Applause to Mustard for showing up with one running shoe and one keen fishing sandal. He still posted a great time!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about Paul’s ministry and how we was bold, yet he also had a plan to engage with audiences where his conversation was likely to be engaging.   We should practice this in our walk as well as we try to reach others with the gospel.  Look for fertile soil where the conversation will be received.   We can be bold and smart at the same time.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Following Christ requires action from us according to new standards, developing new habits, and a conscious change of our thinking. Christian maturity is not shown through our beliefs or declarations, but through our behavior and personality. Results are the products of our actions! To grow spiritually, we need to change our priorities and thinking. To be more like Christ, you need to think according to His standards.
MOLESKIN:
It is so good to see members of the pax getting better physically. Seeing where they have improved and become faster, stronger and have more stamina.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayers for Lady Junk and the Junk family.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Goals are simply dreams with a deadline. We all need accountability to help us reach our goals and not just perceive them as dreams. Goals are achievable only though daily habit changes. It’s changing the daily grind that will help to get us closer to our goals and dreams.

MOLESKIN:
None

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • 20 x Imperial Walker IC
  • 15 x Tempo Merkin IC
  • 20 x American Hammer (4ct.) IC
  • 20 x Overhead Clamp IC (except I-Beam, who was deliberately out of cadence)

THA-THANG:
PAX counted off 1-4 and split into groups of 4 people each. One PAX from each group was designated “injured” and had to be carried by the remaining three. PAX rotate as needed while we headed for the Pav-A-Lon. We paused for 20 Iron Mikes (4 ct. OYO) while some of the folks rested their shoulders.

Once at the Pav-A-Lon, each PAX drew two cards from the card. The number designated the rep count and the suit designated the exercise as follows:

  • Hearts = Pull-ups
  • Clubs = Burpees
  • Spades = Dips
  • Diamonds = Diamond Merkins

Face cards = 10 and Aces = 11.

Between rounds PAX moseyed to the top of the hill and bear crawled back down.

We broke back into groups and carried our injured teammates back to the AO.

MARY:
We cashed out with two rounds of ATMs!

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Two FNGs today – good work guys!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared a story with the PAX of a college senior that was seeking guidance because she was stressed about decisions others were making for her. We talked about the importance of remembering that we are grown-ups that are not only capable of, but responsible for, our own decisions. It’s easy to get complacent and let others lead, but there comes a time when you need to step up and do your own thing.
MOLESKIN:
TAP to the Junk clan – we missed you out there today, brother!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Truckin’ to the Pound coming up in September.
