THE THANG:
– We ran a sneaky mile around the campus past the flag and ended up next to the Jesus statue.
– Starting at the statue we worked up the ladder. Each parking space (about 20) had an exercise written on a card. Run to the card do 10x of what the card says and run back to Jesus. At Jesus do 3 burpees. We did that for a round and flipped the cards over for the second round and did it again.
MARY:
– No Mary today. We ended perfectly.

COT:
The Master’s was this weekend. I had a couple quotes to share.

“It’s difficult to excel at something you don’t truly enjoy.” – Jack Nicklaus

“Pursue what you love, what you are passionate about. Don’t let somebody else dictate your life’s path.” – Jack Nicklaus

After winning the 2022 Master’s Scottie Scheffler said,” It all goes back to my faith. The reason why I play golf it to glorify God and all that he’s done in my life and so for me my identity isn’t a golf score. All I am trying to do is glorify God and that’s why I’m in this position, so for me, it’s not about a golf score.”

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.

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.

Easter Zombies!

COT:
Zombies on Easter!
Mathew 27:50 Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit. 51 At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, 52 and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. 53 They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.

Is there a part of your spirit that is dead? Your prayer life? Your ability/desire to forgive? Your compassion for people who are disadvantaged? Your leadership role over your family? Your contentment? If so, what better way to commemorate the original Good Friday than to let Jesus resurrect that part of you and make it come alive again….TODAY!
