It’s Not About Me or You, It’s About Us

THE SCENE: 20 degrees
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
25ish SSH IC

10 Merkins IC
THA-THANG:

We started our UTK tour with a mosey to the base of Ayres Hall (2 Lines):

  • 15ish Squats IC
  • 20 BBSU OYO
  • 30 Merkins OYO

Insert 1st “Me” story- Fall 1988, smoking cigarettes as you walk to class really wasn’t as cool as I thought but I was 18. I’m wiser now…

Mosey to top of AH (2 Lines):

  • 15ish Squats IC
  • 20 BBSU OYO
  • 30 Merkins OYO

Mosey to the Torch (2 Lines):

  • 15ish Squats IC
  • 20 BBSU OYO
  • 10 Perfect Merkins OYO

2nd “Me” story: Young Detention mis-read the intentions of a pretty blonde-headed co-ed from Memphis. Asked her out in front of the torch, she looked surprised but said yes. One and done on that date. Live and Learn.

Mosey to the Rock (2 Lines):

Team-building activity on giving the Rock an F3 face lift. PT while the PAX painted and then team photo.

3rd “Me” story- told the PAX about kicking some tail in flag FB on the intramural fields near us back in the day. We were in the midst of a strong playoff run when we got busted for not having any players (maybe 1-2) who were actually attending UTK… At the time, I was a proud 25ish alum making college kids look silly in cleats. Glory days die hard. If you don’t believe me, ask Proton or Tank- they played a huge roll in this historic event.

We made one pit-stop on the way back for some PT and then headed home to AO.

FNG- Rockport

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I told “Me” stories as we toured campus. All this to point out that this life is not about me, not about you, it’s about us. We are here to serve and love. The PAX was challenged to live this day for others!

MOLESKIN:
11 brave souls combatted the cold and our pace was brisk from the go. I could tell this crew meant business and wanted to push them hard this frigid winter morning. We covered right at 3 miles. Our FNG came out with a strong shoe game: he was wearing his work/casual date night dress shoes. Impressive stuff and the PAX saw fit to coin him “Rockport”. Not sure the Big Ball was ready for dress shoes. S/O to Pfeiffer and Abort for the pre-workout Ruck with Paulie. Pound for Pound- they are the two baddest mothers in F3 Knoxville. Zygote showed great flexibility moving from leader of the pack to picking up the 6 with ease. It was good prep work for his “Call of Duty” plans for the day. It was a pleasure leading this crew (from the back) this morning!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
10% of us is visible to the whole world.  The other 90% (everything that goes on in our hearts and minds) is only known to us and God.  Is there stuff going on in our 90% that we want changed?  If so, working harder and trying to come up with the power on our own to change the big stuff that needs to be changed is a fruitless, exhausting effort that most likely won’t work.  The answer:  “Desperate Prayer”.  Go to God in authentic surrendered desperation and ask Him to release His Spirit to work in you – get specific on what you want changed, and get desperate, and do it regularly, and see what happens.  Praise Him.
MOLESKIN:
Pray for Mayberry’s family, Praise for Ratchet’s parents

BOM:
First line in a great book called A Purpose Driven Life is….
Its not about you.
Quit being the center of your universe.
Stop thinking what do I want, what do I need, what can I get out of this.
Today’s society is all about me.

This week think about how you are putting yourself in front of others. Your wife…your kids….your neighbor.
Change where you are in line.

Moleskin:  it was a little chaotic today, at first but the teams showed good teamwork by sharing the load on the mosey. It’s always a blessing for me to come out to the asylum and spend time with this crew. Great job today by all, sorry about the phone glitches and throwing the BOM out of order.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As you can tell I turn 40 today which means I have had many years to do the things I wanted to do.  I haven’t got them all done, but I have been fortunate to do quite a few.  In the same sense my 90 year old grandmother is currently lying in a hospital and most likely going to hospice.  I do not think she got to do all the things she wanted to do.  I think she has led a good and happy life, but I think there was other things, other adventures, or other experiences that she wanted to do.  Let this be a reminder to all of you do not put off the things you want to do until later.  We are not guaranteed any definite time on this earth, so make the most of it.  Hug your wives and kids, but also get out there and live your life.
