F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:
N/A

THA-THANG:
Go through the following menu as many times as possible.  Round 1 = 25 reps, Round 2 = 20 reps, Round 3 = 15 reps, Round 4 = 10 reps, Round 5 = 5 reps.  Between rounds, run to the outhouse and do 5 burpees.  I think Tweet-E was the only person to finish the entire thing….big surprise….    We had 30#, 25#, 20#, 15# dumbbells, a 60# sandbag, a 40# sandbag, a 35# kettlebell, plus a 35# ruck for the merkins.  Each man used the heaviest weight possible for each exercise….if you get exhausted before completing your reps, drop to a lower weight.

  • KB swings
  • Overhead Press
  • Deltoid Raise
  • Curls

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

In this passage Paul talks about becoming all things to all people in order to share the gospel.  I think this is pertinent today.  The message of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection never changes – we should never water this down or sanitize it.  Lost people need to hear the truth.  We do, however, need to communicate with people in a way that they understand this message.  The next time you feel led to share Christ with someone, consider who you are talking to.  Are they older than you?  Younger?  Do they have the same interests as you?  What religious background do they come from?   Consider all of these things to help you communicate as clearly as possible so that they will comprehend what you are telling them.

MOLESKIN:
I almost fartsacked this morning.  I woke up at 5:12.  Evidently I hit snooze on my phone alarm and fell back asleep with it in my hand….then when the snooze alarm went off I dropped the phone, which woke me up.  Nothing like waking up late on a day when you’re on Q!

13 PAX at the Pound today, including special guest from Charlotte area Kilowatt
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Waiting for our house to sell has been a real test of patience. We are learning to wait on Him, not just with a passive “doing nothing” kind of waiting, but seeking Him to try to understand His will for us. If you’re waiting too, try to seek God during that time rather than just passively waiting as though you’re waiting on a bus or something…
MOLESKIN:
I realized as I stood up from an exercise at the top of the hill that I should have swapped the up/down exercises. Same work, but we would have gotten to enjoy the view out over the lake doing the standing exercises vs. the ones where you’re just looking at the ground!
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

I talked about being a good role model for our kids but not allowing our kids to put us as their example. We will fail and we will fail in front of them. Their ultimate example needs to be that of Christ.

We discussed being content in our lives without being complacent. As leaders and HIMs we should strive to improve our own situations instead of waiting for someone else to step up.
