F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Abe Vigoda x 7, Hairy Rockettes x 10, Tempo Merkins x 7, Cherry Pickers x 7, Moroccan Nightclub x 20

THA-THANG:
Mosey to the big parking lot and line up on the curb.

The thing: Run to the first line and back and perform 10 of any exercise (Dealer’s Choice).

Run to the second line and back and perform 20 of any exercise.

Repeat for all ten lines. Culminating in 100 reps of your last exercise.

Caveats: No repeating any exercises and must change muscle groups each round. Also, the first person to get to each line has to perform one burpee and Bernie back.

All of the PAX completed all ten levels of this “Choose your own adventure” workout. Dartgun and Butterknife took turns on the Burpee/Bernie combo.

Poolboy gave the PAX a generous 30 count recover as we lined up for a longer than normal jailbreak back to the shovel flag.

In the shovel flag parking lot, perform 11’s with Bobby Hurleys and Diamond Merkins.

12 men made the hard choice this morning.
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Re-emphasized the monthly JUCO challenge. Prayer. This challenge has been difficult to be consistent with. It’s important that you make a concerted effort each day to set aside a time and place to truly get 10 solid minutes of focused prayer/meditation in. Something I have added to the challenge in this past week is to have a specific topic/focus each day for your prayer time. So far we have had: Immediate Family, Extended Family, Church Family, The Lost, Personal Growth, and Government. I encouraged the PAX to experiment with having a different focus each time they pray to allow for more meditation on these specific areas. Also encouraged the PAX not to avoid prayer due to embarrasment/shame over how long it’s been since they prayed. God will welcome you with open arms, not shame you for your negligance.

Dartgun and Butterknife are fast…

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Happy St. Patricks Day!  Did you know that St. Patricks Day is not about Irish Traditions, it is about the spread of the Gospel by St. Patrick in Ireland after he was kidnapped at age 16 from Britain, forced to work in Ireland, escaped slavery only to return to plant churches all over Ireland.  The truth can be lost some 1600 years after things happen.  So lets talk about Lies — what is the worst that can happen when we think about Lies?  The Pax correctly answered, “We can believe them.”

Satan, the enemy, Jesus said is the father of lies – John 8:44.  Jesus said, “I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life.” John 14:6.  Let’s talk about one of God’s important truths — the fruits of the Spirit — love, joy, peace patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (of which against there is no law)  Think about where God put Adam and Eve — in the Garden of Eden.  We are constantly surrounded by manmade homes, buildings and materials, but when we get into nature, we see how God makes things.  This is how it works inside our souls.  God granted me a great peace that passes understanding in my greatest time of need, and I believe it was because of my love for God and belief that my faith mattered.  The agricultural theme throughout the Bible is not just for the people of the day to understand, but it is how God works.

MOLESKIN:
I encourage you all to read Matthew 13:1–23, Mark 4:1–20, Luke 8:4–15 — the Parable of the Sower of the Seed.  We cannot earn the fruits of the Spirit but we can resist the lies of the enemy, deceitfulness of wealth and world systems, and desire of the flesh to live when faced with persecution.  We can also prepare our soil through unity with God.  The oneness with God thru Jesus Christ gives us light from the fierce fiery love of God and saturates us with the River of Life from the throne room of God.  This COT is a continuation of a Q previously: Psalms 37:4, “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”  Decided to read this literally, by delighting in the Lord, HE will literally give me the pure, holy desires in my heart (not give me what I desire).  Desire is the fuel that waters Passion, and Passion is the soil from which Purpose can Grow  =   Abundant Life.

Spoke about how March 14, 2020 was the 1 year anniversary of joining F3. A similar recruiting mission (February 2020) to Anytime Fitness led by Judge Judy was the EH I didn’t know I needed. I am thankful for the men I have met and the accountability that comes along with being apart of this crazy group of guys.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I finished reading the Bible for the first time in my life back in February. This is probably not a feat for you guys… It took me a little more than 2 years to finish a 1 year plan.  But I did it! I’ve always been around the Bible and I’ve read bits and pieces, here and there. I made a lot of attempts to read it cover to cover, and I would fizzle somewhere after the creation… If you struggle like I did, I highly recommend a Bible reading plan. Honestly, I’m excited to read it again.

Recently Guardrail did the same Q he had done previously (admittedly I was at Rush), but I caught the message and how he tied it to the importance of repetition.

Then we were challenged not to pray the same prayers or at least not just walk through the motions. This is important also. We need to expand our reach and God’s love is infinite.

I pray everyday. Some prayers are repetition. These are the prayers I’m good at. So the reps I’ve put in, make it come natural.

I  joined Spotter’s monthly challenge to pray 10 minutes a day. This is taking me out of my comfort zone some days, but it’s allowing me to expand and grow as well.

Repetition, variety, and switching things up will all strengthen us. Mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Thank you gentlemen for challenging me! I have nothing but respect for you guys.

MOLESKIN:
Sign up for a Q! We will help you. Design a workout, steal shamelessly from a back-blast… It doesn’t matter. We’re here to workout together, speak our hearts and minds, and thank God for allowing us to do so, before most people are rolling out of bed.
