THA-THANG: - HAIRBURNERS!!. 10 minutes of Pushing plates back and forth. At one end PI is doing curls with CMU, The other end P2 is doing Bent over rows with the CMU, P3 is pushing plates between cones and alternated out pushing plates with P1 and 2 for 10 minutes. AMRAP on the reps of Curls and BOR, once smoked on the reps, switched up to triceps and/or presses with the CMU. PAX did not like doing it for 10 minutes straight so we stopped for a moment of Clarity to find out WHY we are out here trying to get better. We got motivated again and pushed through the last few minutes! GREAT WORK PAX!!
- After the Hair burners, we needed a break so we did CAPN THOR. Actually not much of a break but a great AB smoker! We did all the way to 10 BBS: 40 American hammers. PAX killed it!

- PAX CHOICE! Music or Cones? For some reason PAX always choose Music and they think it sounds easier than cones?? The word cones must relate to pain and suffering…Actually, Music is just as bad, they just did not know it! 🙂 PAX chose music so we did CUMBAWUMBA, I get knocked down song. SSH the whole song and when they say I get knocked down, do a Burpee. About 33 burpees and is a great Smoker/Cash out for the end of a workout! Again, the PAX killed it!
- About 2 minutes left. FINS has not q’d yet so he lead us in some Boxcutters IC x20. He did awesome and now is ready to Q!!

Confucius Say……Better a diamond with Flaw than a pebble with out, The gem cannot be polished with out friction, NOR man perfected with out trials. You get it, IRON SHARPENS IRON!
MOLESKIN:
I love silly quotes, Confucius quotes, simple words of wisdom.etc..What is comes down to is that we are not perfect but if you think you are or you think you will never be, you will NEVER grow and get better as a man! A man with out Fault will never grow so don’t be afraid to fail. Last week, I asked the guys to think about their WHY? Why are you coming out to a free workout early in the morning? When it gets tough, what motivates us to push through the suck? WELL, Fins came up to me today after the workout and shared his WHY with me. I was grateful to hear his WHY. I just met FINS and he came to me an opened up to me. That means a lot to me and is what I love about F3. Being a part of F3, we all know and have an unconditional bond with one another, even if we don’t know each other(YET). I believe we all have a similar WHY. Thank you FINs for sharing with me and I look forward to getting to know you more.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: - 2.0 workout tomorrow with TANK. Paying it forward with young men that do not have Fathers or Male role models in their life. Contact TANK for details.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Apostasy: The abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief. I’ve been thinking about this term since hearing a sermon about it recently and have been using this to challenge the root of my decision making. I’m not an Apostate, however when I know what Christ would have me do and I deliberately choose to do something differently I feel like there is an Apostic nature to my decision. As a man who claims Christ as my savior I need to be keenly aware of this…often my areas of greatest disobedience are in my decision making. My challenge to the PAX this morning was to be aware of the seed of Apostasy and prevent it from showing up in the decisions we make.
MOLESKIN:
Great first trip to the Bomb Shelter for me. Next time I’ll use the parking lot entrance rather than the sidewalk to drive in.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Jeremiah 31:2 — “The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness.”
Many of us face struggles frequently whether it be financial, work life, home life, etc, that makes us stumble or scared to move forward. If we can be persistent and push through our problems, we’ll always be rewarded in the end. Sometimes God tests our faith or wants to see how we’ll push through a problem to see what kind of person we are, and its our job to get through that test. He will reward us with grace in the end.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The new testament specifically says love one another 15 separate times. John 13:34 says “so now I am giving you a new commandment, love each other just as I have loved you…This will show the world that you are my disciples.”
Billy Graham :”Yes, the Bible certainly tells us to love others, even if they aren’t very lovable! But what does it mean to love others? All too often, I’m afraid, we confuse liking someone with loving them”…. “And this isn’t necessarily wrong, as far as it goes; a husband (for example) should genuinely like his wife and enjoy being in her company.”
But….”Does this mean we can’t love someone who’s difficult to like? No, it doesn’t, not if we understand the kind of love God has for us. God loves us not because we’re perfect, or even likeable, because we aren’t. We fall far short of what He wants us to be, yet the Bible says He still loves us. And unlike our love for others, His love means He always wants what’s best for us, although we don’t deserve it.
This is the way God wants us to love others — by seeking what’s best for them. No, (some people) may not be likeable, but have you ever asked God to change (them)? Have you ever gone out of your way to show love for (them), even if (they) don’t deserve it? Open your heart and life to Christ’s transforming love. Then remember: “We love because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
MOLESKIN:
