CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Love as you should.   Don’t just love other Christians, or other guys from F3, or those of the same color, political party, sexual orientation, or college football team.  Jesus came to this earth and spent time with ALL the sinners, not just the ones who had chosen to follow him.

He came and saved all of us, not just his favorites.  Love one another and don’t judge one another.  I live in glass house and I don’t want others throwing rocks at me so I am sure not going to throw rocks at others.

The next time you get angry with someone based on them cutting you off in traffic, posting something on the Book of Faces, their stance on certain issues, or use them as the punch line to one of your jokes.  Remember Jesus died for them just as much as he died for us.

Q-citement

I still get it it too. I was up at 3:05 this morning calling out “the next exercise is” in my head, hoping this Q today went well. But it happens all the time and I was having a real hard time getting back to sleep.

Then I prayed a simple prayer, “Lord help me get some rest so I can lead will this morning. Be with me as I got to F3, and be present in that AO with us.” After that I felt relaxed and went back to sleep.

What I found curious this morning is how easy it is to take God the big things sometimes, job, house, kids, but how we forget to take him the small things.

Have you ever been in a really really dark room with no light? And then when you see the tiniest of tiny specks of light how it seems so bright? That’s God in our world. And when we take stuff to Him he makes the whole room light up like the sun.  But we should constantly take stuff to Him, big and small, so that the room is always light and we can see.

Lastly, many of you don’t know but I have been trying to put into my life the concept that, I am 3rd. God first, others second, and myself 3rd. I encourage you to do the same, and I encourage you to go out into this world and share with others about that tiny speck of light in the darkness, and how He can save our soul.

BOM
The opposite of manhood isn’t womanhood, it’s boyhood!  Our goal as HIMs is to always be moving forward own the road of maturity (RFP).  What F3 has taught me is that growth (physical, relational and spiritual) comes through challenge, consistency and comradery.

  • Physical: Take your DRP (Daily Red Pill)
    • Challenge – Get up and get out in the gloom!
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX
  • Relational: No lone ranger
    • Challenge – Reject passivity and engage with family, friends, co-workers and neighbors
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX
  • Spiritual: Luke 9:23, “And he said to all, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’”
    • Challenge – Obedience and faithfulness
    • Consistency – Daily
    • Comradery – the PAX and Jesus himself (“follow me”)

MOLESKIN
This morning we had a special guest from a local news affiliate.  He came to do an online piece on F3.  He asked if I thought I could get a good sized group out on a Wednesday morning at 5:30am…61 PAX including 3 FNGs answered with a resounding “HELL YEA!”  For me, this sums up F3 Knoxville.  Over the pas 18 months this PAX has set the bar and then surpassed it when it comes to heart, passion, and dedication.  They work hard, play hard and always have each other’s six.  There is absolutely no questions…I’m a better man for being a part of this PAX, and Knoxville is a better city due to what these men are doing in each other.

Tha Thang
Place CMU’s at center of parking lot. Run from center to each corner of the parking lot doing the exercise listed. Come back to center point and do exercise listed with CMU.
Round 1
Center point – 50 curls
Corner 1 – 20 Merkins
Corner 2 – 20 CDD
Corner 3 – 30 Squats
Corner 4 – 20 BBS

Round 2
Center Point – 50 OH press
Corner 1 – 10 Burpees
Corner 2 – 20 Wide Merkins
Corner 3 – 25 Flutter kicks
Corner 4 – 20 Lunges

The PAX impressed me with the speed of completing 2 rounds. I thought another round would be acceptable but the PAX’s OCD kicked in because I didn’t have a third exercise listed at the four corners. A good Q always tries to accommodate all levels of the PAX during the workout. So Improvised to wind sprints.

Round 1
Sprint East, 50 curls at Center Point
Sprint West, 50 OH Press at Center Point
Sprint North, 30 Straight Arm Raises
Sprint South, 30 Bent Over Rows

Round 2
Sprint East, 50 curls at Center Point
Sprint West, 50 OH Press at Center Point
Sprint North, 50 Flutter Kicks
Sprint South, 50 LBC
