CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

This weeks sermon at Fellowship Knoxville blew me away. The Gracious Gift of Affliction and Weakness Had to try and share some of the ideas of “power in weakness”.  It’s such a tough topic and hard to describe, akin to hitting a bullseye from 500 yards away, when the bullseye is a needle in a haystack.  In summary, do not shy away from your weaknesses, God will meet you in your attempts to address them. He will light the way and support you because He is awesome and because he is deeply invested in you and getting you through the tough valleys of humiliation and NOT AROUND THEM.   It worked also kind of like a good analogy for todays workout because we spent most of it on our hands and knees begging for mercy and strength as we crab walked and bear crawled for what seemed like miles.  But praise be to God, he met us, and we finished !! We could barely speak and were dizzy, but we all finished.

Boast in weakness

Search me and know me God, help me to work out any hurtful ways in me.

Almost my 1 year anniversary of my VQ

March Madness Prep-work

THE SCENE: 34* (chilly after last week’s heat wave)
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Cherry Pickers, Rockettes, SSH, Tempo Merkins, Tempo Squats

THA-THANG:
Suicide Ladder down parking lot (approx length of basketball court)

Perform 5 Bobby Hurley’s on one end and 5 Merkins on the other end of the parking lot. Increase your count by 5 for each round completed until the last round consist of 40 Bobby Hurley’s and 40 Merkins.  Congratulations! You just scored 360 points!

Basketball Circuit

Four stations of exercises were set up and HIMs paired up for some battle buddy action. At each station one HIM performed the exercise while the other ran “skill drills” down the parking lot lines. Stations were:

  • Free Throws (20lbs wall balls)
  • I’m Open! (50lbs sandbag curls)
  • Defense! (20lbs sandbag tricep extensions)
  • Granny Shots (40lbs sandbag kettlebell swings)

After the circuit was finished we passed the coupons in a ring of fire both standing and sitting. (Sitting yielded a much better workout.)

To top off the workout we ran sprints down the parking lot and bernie’d back for four rounds.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Romans 8:28 New International Version (NIV)

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

This is one of my favorite verses. However, I think it is often taken out of context. We are not promised an easy life on this Earth. Bad things can happen to good people, but this verse tells us that those things will be used by God to bring us closer to Him and ultimately closer to salvation. We also need to use this thought to help us keep our perspective in this world. Don’t allow trivial things to cloud your view of God. Keep looking upward.

B.O.M.B.S. OVER JUCO

THE SCENE: Low 40’s and gloomy – perfect weather to continually cut the wrong wire and set off a bunch of B.O.M.B.S. – No man was left the same this morning.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Cherry Pickers, Tennessee Rocking Chair, SSHs, Tempo Squats
THA-THANG:

  1. Mosey to Parking Lot – Route 66 style grinder: At each Pole (6 total) perform exercises.  First 3 poles – 15 Merkins, 15 Plank Jacks, 15 4ct Mountain Climbers.  Second 3 poles – 10 Merkins, 10 Plank Jacks, 15 Bobby Hurley’s.
  2. Mosey to the JUCO Gym (Coupon Pile behind creepy loading dock) and battle-buddy up.  Perform B.O.M.B.S. workout – each team performs 100 Burpees, 150 Overhead Tri-Extensions, 200 Merkins, 250 BBSs, 300 Squats.  While one partner is doing exercise, other performs weighted run up and around concrete border wall WITH a coupon.  Had to modify a tad because of time.  Most teams made it about halfway thru the BBSs before we trimmed the numbers down to 100 reps for each exercise.  No one made it to squats, so when everyone thought we were done – PAX did 50 squats in civilian cadence.
  3. Mosey back to AO, JAILBREAK for the last 150 yards of so.

1) Be thankful to the Lord for what he has blessed you with.  2) Concentrate this week on turning from your own interests and paying attention to those people in your inner circle and their happiness, specifically, what you can do for them that might not only increase their joy, but might open doors to sharing the Gospel.  “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” – P.T. Barnum

MOLESKIN:
Bartman had a house full of young men over the weekend and 5 of them accepted Christ (after a full blown background investigation and polygraph by Bartman).  Now THAT is something to be joyful about!

Kudos to Waxjob for attending the Full Smokey Pre-Ruck.  We need more of you motherruckers to step out of your comfort zone and hike the tallest point in Florida every M-W-F,  wheels up from AO @0440hrs – contact Judge Judy with questions.

Todayxis my sisters birthday. She’s 5 years older than me and the toughest nut you’ll ever meet. She’s an inspiration. She’s a a great sister, sister-in-law, Aunt, wife, and mother. I love her dearly. Encouraged the PAX to be an inspiration to others today! Don’t just suck everybody else’s inspiration- create your own!
MOLESKIN:
We welcomed Whittler from Chatt and overlooked his War Eagle fandom and colorful socks. He is Rusty’s brother-in-law and It was great to have him at the Equalizer! We prayed for Rusty’s upcoming mission trip to Belize- his excitement for this is contagious. May God Bless all involved! Also, shout-out to Pfeiffer for helping me with the Q- it was brutal.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The Equalizer Expansion Project is underway. Time to stop crawling and start running! News to come.
