COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Referenced Judges newsletter topic of Gluttony and explained how that struck a chord with me.  Don’t be a Glutton, and don’t do things in excess.  Eating, drinking, working, etc in excess can become a sin.  We did a lot of Ab work today so that we may have sore abs and remember to make better choices about what goes into our bodies.

Isaiah 40:28-31

28Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary;

his understanding is unsearchable.

29He gives power to the faint,

and to him who has no might he increases strength.

30Even youths shall faint and be weary,

and young men shall fall exhausted;

31but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary;

they shall walk and not faint.

Endeavor Exicon

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH, Rockette’s, Deep squats, Mountain climbers, Alternating mountain climbers, Plank jax, Baby arm circles, Reverse baby arm circles, Slow neck rolls
THA-THANG:
Diving into the rolodex of the F3 Exicon.  Q named off a “deep cut” exercise found in the F3 exicon and called out a PAX to demonstrate the exercise.  If the PAX performed it correctly, they took the Q for that exercise and called out the number of reps.  If performed incorrectly, the original Q led the correct iteration of said exercise for a certain number of reps.  Fun was had by most!

The following exercises were attempted w/ a side of laughter (in no particular order, see Exicon for descriptions):

  • Air Drama 
  • Apple Turnover (YUM!)
  • Alphabet (or ABCs)
  • Australian Snow Angels
  • Bobby Hurley
  • Booyah! Merkin (air fist pound, instead of shoulder tap)
  • Captain Morgan
  • Escalator (did not perform, time constraint)
  • Goofball
  • Hatching Butterfly
  • Howling Monkeys (a favorite)
  • Little Mermaid
  • Merkin Jax

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
16 PAX + 1 FNG (name TBD, previously Captain Obvious but need to re-name due to duplicate in F3 Knoxville)
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Please check out WiRE Strength in Numbers: Men Are Waiting Devotional series through the Bible app.

With Whom Do You Gather?  If we are followers of Jesus, we must take the time to gather with other brothers in Christ.  God designed the Church this way for the Holy Spirit to flow from one to another in these instances.  Isolation is not the answer.  “For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up.” Ecclesiastes 4:10  “You see, God the Holy Spirit dwells within each follower of Jesus.” John 14:17

Take the time to connect with a FNG.  The brotherhood of Christ is a powerful force.  We never know how a kind word, working out with someone for the first time in a long time, battling through sweat in the gloom etc. can inspire and affect a fellow brother in Christ!

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for F3 Nation, Cheatsheet’s family, racism/division, Jinxy’s family, Pom-pom’s marriage/honeymoon, all our F3 brother’s!

Thanks F3 Dortmund

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us along our paths. So long as what we are doing, or the path we are trying to explore is not in violation of the small still interior voice, we are probably alright. If the action or considered action causes us any sort of distress, it is most likely not in accordance with God’s plans for us.

 

MOLESKIN:
For the sick and elderly.  For our brothers battling illness and their wives.
