THA-THANG:

There were 35 stations and we made it through 24 of them.  The idea was to move around campus, and see some new and old areas, to encourage all of us to be more creative.  Each area was labeled with number, and here are the corresponding exercises.  There were some new exercises that were crowd pleasers.  The El Capitan’s up the frost covered hills were a bit of a challenge.  The elevated plank jacks, merkins, and balls to the wall were a difficult trio.  We introduced some new exercises, the dirty hookup and the flying nun were a fun twist!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Commitment has been on my mind this week. With the cold weather and even some rain you guys showed up ready to encourage and be there for each other. 

We are very lucky to have such a committed group of high impact men. 

“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.” Kenneth Blanchard

 “Motivation is what gets you started. Commitment is what keeps you going.” Jim Rohn

Read an excerpt from My Utmost for His Highest Shallow and Profound

“Beware of allowing yourself to think that the shallow aspects of life are not ordained by God; they are ordained by Him equally as much as the profound. We sometimes refuse to be shallow, not out of our deep devotion to God but because we wish to impress other people with the fact that we are not shallow. This is a sure sign of spiritual pride.” -Oswald Chambers

Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31

Often times I let the fear of sounding shallow or not having something “enlightened” to say stand in the way of sharing or entering into discussions in many of the circles I am apart of. These excerpts from Oswald Chambers challenged me deeply and made me realize that no matter how shallow I think something is, When I feel led to share or to start a conversation it is more than likely ordained by the Spirit and to not engage is out of fear (or out of pride). 

What fruit are we not seeing in our lives because we are holding back for fear of being seen as shallow?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have become selfish through the pandemic.  The ways that I used to serve, are not available to serve in the present, but I have not found new ways to serve, I have become about myself.  I challenged the group and myself to become a HIM (High Impact Man), and to find ways to serve.  I asked the group to look for opportunities to serve, and embrace them.  Judge Judy is trying to raise the bar, and we as men of F3 need to rise to the occasion to serve.  Be the salt and the light.

Matthew 5: 13-16

13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[b] they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
