CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
There’s been a lot going on in this world lately. A lot of sickness, injuries, and death even in just my very small circle and so much more that impacts other PAX and friends and family not associated with F3. In all of this, I heard a message at one of those recent funerals. The minister was talking about this lady who lived her life Ready. She was ready to go on the next adventure. Ready to tackle challenges and obstacles. Ready to lend a hand. Ready.
So my question to you is: are you ready? Are you ready for today? Tomorrow? Next week? Are you ready for life’s unexpected twists and turns, successes and failures, victories and utter defeats? Are you ready for whatever lies in store for your wife, girlfriend, parents, children? Good or bad?
We men tend to think of ourselves as ready for anything. That’s the Boyscout motto and mentality: Be prepared. But what are you ready for? Is it today or is it eternity? Jesus teaches us not to worry or fret about today or tomorrow, for this world is temporary, fleeting. We need to be ready for Eternity. And more than this, we need to make sure that our families are ready. That our friends are ready. That our neighbors and coworkers and acquaintances are ready. Even the ones we may not really like. Our job is to be ready and get as many others as possible to be ready as well.
So I leave you with this: are you ready?
MOLESKIN:
Praise: Judge Judy’s father had a quick recovery from Covid
Keep praying for Ribbed’s wife and the rest of our PAX struggling with sickness and loss

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

The Kingdom of God is like a treasure found in a field that a person finds and hides again. Out of joy, goes and sells everything he owns and buys the field. The treasure is discovered by accident and we often encounter the treasure of the Gospel without even looking for it. Many times when we see the treasure of the Gospel, we do not always see them as treasures. What if the person had seen the chest in the field and not opened it? Whether out of laziness or indifference. Do we have enough energy to open the treasure chest of God’s Grace?

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
God has many names in the Bible but “Sky Q” and “Big Man Upstairs” aren’t in that list.  Despite popular culture, nowhere in the Bible is God described as Santa Claus or the like.  Be careful with giving God names.  When we refer to God with names like these, there is a tendency to dumb Him down and make Him easier to sin against.  Proverbs 1:7 states the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. That “fear” includes a zealous reverence for His name.

Then do bounce pass back and forth, then do crossovers passing and bouncing. You cannot hold the ball more than two seconds. If it’s dropped, you must do 5 burpees and resume where the ball hit the ground.

Game 2: circle of burpees. Two teams-one on each side of circle.  Bounce or throw the ball to someone across the circle from you and do a burpee. Hot potato fashion.

mosey to the outhouse: partner up. One dribbles the ball up the parking lot and does 5 burpees, other stays and does easy ups, incline merks, BBS, squats. Go till both partners finish all exercises

mosey back to field one.

Game 3: plank red rover. All plank around the circle on your teams side. Hit ball with your fist towards a gap in the circle on the other side. Players try to stop it from going through the circle while keeping plank/bear crawl. After hitting the ball do a merkin. If it gets past, whole team does 10 Merkins

Game 5: kick and fetch- player from each team kicks a ball for the other team to chase it. They sprint it down and mosey to other side with it. Everyone cycles through.

game 6 was goalie kicks. Teams have each player kick against a goalie. If blocked or missed, 10 burpees. If it goes in the goalies team does 5 burpees. (We missed a lot)
