CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Thankful to be back after a week + absence. I went to Nashville for a few days to visit my parents. Thought I had avoided the local school bug being gone but it turned out that I caught a case of the flu anyway. It was a very mild case but I did have fever on and off for two days. I worked from home and recovered over the weekend.

While away and as we move into a time of Thanksgiving, I thought about how fortunate I was to have a job that allowed me some flexibility while I was sick. I was thankful to have loving parents to visit, thankful for my kids, and my close friends here in Knoxville. I’m also thankful for the men continuing to lead and encourage here at F3.

1 Thessalonians 1:2-10

In 1st Thessalonians, Chapter 1, Paul is writing to the church there in Thessalonica and gives thanks to them for their work of faith, labor of love, and steadfastness of hope in times of great suffering and persecution. They became examples and encouragement for other Christians in the area and they did this with the “joy of the Holy Spirit”. Paul was thanking God for them. At the end of the chapter, Paul says “you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God and to wait for his son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.”

In many ways, you guys today are encouraging others with how YOU lead and serve. And I want to thank God for each one of you. You are being an example and positive influence to me and those around you. That makes a difference and it deserves recognition. So take some time to think about that. Think about and be thankful for how God has chosen you to be his sons and how he has called you out to shine light. Remember that as sons we have already been delivered from the wrath to come. Take that reality into the upcoming holiday season. Keep your eyes on Him and you will not only be more thankful for his blessings, but you will also continue in your blessing of others.

Shamelessly Stealing Great Workouts!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The warrior ethos (AKA Jedi Training) consist of 13 pillars: commitment, honor, respect, prepared, faithful, fighter, hungry, humble, lover, teachable, firestarter, truthful, and generous.
Each one is tied to a Bible verse.

The master has failed more times than the inexperienced have ever tried. Let’s learn from our mistakes.

Respect: the 3rd pillar
The verse for this pillar is Matthew 7:12

“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 7:12

Provide Security

“Respect everyone, and love the family of believers, fear God, and respect the king.”
1 Peter 2:17

I have a lot of respect for you gentlemen. Not only for showing up and putting in the work, but how you live by example and practice what you preach.

I have so much respect for all of you. You challenge me during the workouts and then even more so afterwards. Commission does a fantastic job of this. He’s constantly giving back to the community. Kick Flip is another example. I mean when we were laid up with COVID he brought us board games and doughnuts. Let’s continue to challenge each other.

Pair up with a partner, and 5 yards one partner does 5 merkins, at the next line the 2nd partner does 5 V ups, and rotate in this fashion until you reach the goal line.  At the end, swap exercises and work your way back.

Same format but one partner did 15 Shoulder taps, while the other partner did 5 BBS

Due to the light rain, we moved to the covered area at the school.
We set a timer for 10 minutes.
The goal was to hold plank starting on your elbows for as long as you could.  When you break plank you perform the following:
10 Burpees
10 Lunges (5 each leg)
20 High knees
then resume the plank position.  It was ok to modify to planking from your hands.

Repeat this until the timer sounds at 10 minutes.
